I kind of thought the same. McCarthy could maybe use a bridge for one more year, and it’s a ready to go playoff team. I bet even if he’d never admit it, Rodgers would love to go to Minnesota. I just don’t know for sure that he’d be keen on going to an obvious bridge situation where he has no future, but he’s probably bright enough to know that his career is basically year to year anyway now anyway.
Rodgers is kind of his own worst enemy at this point. As has been noted, he does still possess the skills needed to succeed at the position. But he needs to work within a system and not try to be the system anymore. I think he’s gotten used to having basically total control over an offense and it’s in his best interest for his final year or two to relent there and just concentrate on putting his remaining arm skills to use.
Pittsburgh would actually be a great fit if they didn’t re-sign Wilson, if Rodgers could help himself and just work within their offense. I just don’t think he can do it. I think they will bring Wilson back anyway,
