Rodgers clearly gave a lot of thought to what life would be like with the Vikings, because he made it clear that he understood the optics of what it would look like for a former Packers QB to end up in Minnesota, which is the path that Brett Favre once took.

Aaron Rodgers is in no rush to make a decision about his future. The free-agent quarterback said during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Thursday that he is “not holding anybody hostage” as he weighs whether to return for a 21st season.

Rodgers cleared the air on his reported visit, telling McAfee that he tried to keep it as secret as possible. He revealed that he did have conversations with Steelers' Mike Tomlin and gave the longtime coach his flowers: "He's more than I even thought of him from afar."
