Packers

Vikings

The future of Aaron Rodgers is a big topic of conversation this offseason. Former NFL QB Brett Favre took a similar path after starting his career with the Packers and joining the Jets before ending his career with the Vikings. Favre is encouraging Rodgers to sign with Minnesota.

“By all means, sign with them. They got a really good football team. They’re loaded at pretty much every position,” Favre said, via NFL.com. “They made it to the playoffs last year. They got a tremendous fan base, much like the Packers. If you get the opportunity, that’s a good place to win. Of course, you gotta play the Packers then.”

Favre has a deeper appreciation for the rivalry between the Packers and Vikings after playing for both organizations.  

“Love-hate relationship at its best,” Favre said. “That’s what makes it such a great rivalry. I got to see it from both sides. It made me appreciate both sides even more. If he gets an opportunity, why not?”
