Rodgers would be worth waiting for if the four-time MVP were still playing at an elite level. At 41, though, he looks like he's nearing the end of his career. In 17 starts with the New York Jets in 2024, he went 5-12 and posted a below-average 48 QBR.

The Vikings aren't pursuing Rodgers, the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday. Minnesota lost Sam Darnold, its breakout starting quarterback from last season, in free agency but it's moving forward with 2024 first-round draft pick J.

The free agent’s next move will have implications for several teams and other quarterbacks such as Russell Wilson, Joe Flacco, Jameis Winston and Kirk Cousins.
