Aaron Rodgers, Giants latest: With Vikings out, it's Big Blue vs. Steelers | amNewYork
Briefly

The New York Giants have gained a significant edge in their pursuit of Aaron Rodgers, as the Minnesota Vikings will not be seeking his services for the 2024 season. With the Vikings moving forward with quarterback JJ McCarthy, the Giants, alongside the Pittsburgh Steelers, are now the primary contenders for the veteran quarterback. New York's GM Joe Schoen is keen on adding a seasoned passer, supporting the idea that the franchise is preparing for a draft that could see them pick a young quarterback like Shedeur Sanders. Meanwhile, they have evaluated several veteran QB options in case they miss out on Rodgers.
If the New York Giants are as gung-ho about Aaron Rodgers as it seems, they just got a bit of good news on Wednesday that will increase their chances of landing the 41-year-old future Hall of Famer.
New York general manager Joe Schoen noted that he wants to have a veteran passer in place regardless of what happens at the NFL Draft next month.
If the Giants lose out on Rodgers, though, they have done their due diligence on the veteran quarterback market.
Despite going 5-12 with the Jets last season, Rodgers still passed for 3,897 yards with 28 touchdowns, showcasing his continued potential.
