Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah talked Wednesday for the first time since NFL free agency opened and confirmed they had talks with Aaron Rodgers.

But given the interest Rodgers had in joining them, the Vikings felt he was an option — even at age 41 — worth exploring. Coach Kevin O'Connell had a pre-existing relationship with Rodgers and spoke at length with him about where both the team and the player were at, Adofo-Mensah said.
