AARON RODGERS’ future remains unclear – after Minnesota Vikings’ latest announcement.
Rodgers, 41, is a free agent after New York Jets released the Hall of Famer.
And the Vikings are one of the two franchises most strongly linked with recruiting the legendary quarterback.
But now Minnesota appear to have shut the door on such a move.
General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has made it plain that the Vikings plan to use J.J. McCarthy as their starting QB this year.
That is likely to leave Rodgers choosing between Pittsburgh Steelers or retirement.
Brett Rypien is the only other quarterback on the Vikings roster.
The 28-year-old is now with his sixth NFL franchise – but might not be seen as the ideal back-up for McCarthy.
That means the Vikings are tipped to bring in another signal caller.
But Adofo-Mensah has given little away in public.
He said: “We’re gonna focus on, as my staff always does, the best opportunities there.
“We’re not going to rush it either way. But we’re mindful of it.”
Meanwhile, Rodgers has stressed he won’t be rushed into informing Steelers of his intentions.
The four-time NFL MVP said: “This entire time I haven’t felt like I’ve owed anyone any sort of decision at any point.”
But he stressed he has been “up front” with Steelers after meeting head coach Mike Tomlin – and accepts they might move on without him.
Rodgers added: “I’ll set it all straight. From the jump, I’m in a different phase of my life.
“I’m 41 years old, I’m in a serious relationship, I have personal commitments I’ve made… and people in my inner circle battling difficult stuff.
“To make a commitment to a team is a big thing.”
