Vikings fans no longer will be hearing the team attached to one free agent QB

The Vikings fanbase can finally sit back in their La-Z-Boy recliners and let out a big sigh of relief while wearing their J.J. McCarthy jerseys.

On Thursday, Aaron Rodgers did his best effort to make himself the news on a busy day when it was announced that he would be signing a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The former MVP and NFC North rival of the Vikings heads to Pittsburgh, hoping to extend a career that has been fledgling ever since he left Green Bay and the NFC North.

For most of the offseason, there were rumblings that the Vikings and Rodgers had a common interest in establishing a relationship. Nothing ever materialized, and now nothing will as the team goes full steam ahead with their 2024 first-round draft pick, J.J. McCarthy.

Rodgers going to Pittsburgh, though, does not mean he is completely off the mind of the Vikings or their fans.

The Vikings will travel to Dublin, Ireland, in Week 4 to face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ironically, it will mark the second straight year the Vikings and Rodgers will face off on the continent of Europe. Last year, they played each other in London when the former MVP was a member of the Jets.
