"The #Vikings have rejected multiple trade calls on J.J. McCarthy, telling other teams they’re moving forward with him as their quarterback, sources say. Back to his playing weight already, knee is 100%.
The team plans to add a veteran. But they’re not pursuing Aaron Rodgers at this time. McCarthy now enters the offseason as QB1."

Bradbury finds new home
Former Vikings starting center Garrett Bradbury has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal worth up to $12 million with the Patriots.

The Vikings released Bradbury on Monday after failing to find a trade for him. They signed Colts center Ryan Kelly in free agency.

Bradbury was a first-round pick in 2019 and played and started 88 games through seven seasons for the Vikings.

PATRIOTS FRONT OFFICE TO VIKINGS:  nah, we're not gonna give you any players or draft picks...we'll throw our hat in the ring if and when you cut him.

Everyone (Giants, Steelers) is waiting for Rodgers to make a decision. Per Schefter and Field Yates, Rodgers is waiting on a decision by the Vikings.  They both stated Rodgers wants to be a Viking, though neither one quoted a source.

I know this is bullshit season, but neither Schefter or Yates say something without some insight. Most of us are a hard pass on Rodgers, but it is an interesting possibility.
