Aaron Rodgers (again) confirms how far talks to join the Vikings actually got

For months during the offseason, speculation about Aaron Rodgers joining the Minnesota Vikings percolated, and a particular reporter would not let go of the thread.

On the Vikings' end, general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O'Connell both acknowledged how adding Rodgers was discussed. But when it came down to it, a commitment to J.J. McCarthy as the starting quarterback and the idea of adding Rodgers never aligned.

In early June, during an appearance on KFAN, O'Connell was candid when asked if there was anything he was willing to say about the level of discussions with Rodgers.
