Early offseason Aaron Rodgers to the Rams rumors have begun to resurface — and HC Sean McVay set the record straight.
On Wednesday, Good Morning Football’s Kyle Brandt asked McVay to clarify what really happened between the Rams and Rodgers this offseason — and this was his response:
“I think our first priority, which was consistently communicated, was let’s work something out with Matthew [Stafford]. We were very fortunate that it worked out that way. If that wasn’t able to occur, then [signing Rodgers] was definitely a conversation and a possibility for us,” McVay admitted. “I have a ton of respect for his body of work. I’ve gotten to know Aaron and really enjoy the conversations — the approach and the way he thinks about the game and in life. So, that was a possibility, but our first priority was always to get Matthew back.”
Pittsburgh was considered a major favorite to land Stafford when trade speculation surrounding the Rams QB ran rampant — before he ultimately signed a massive extension to remain in Los Angeles.
It’s crazy to imagine that there exists a possibility where Rodgers potentially signed with the Rams — and the Steelers may have been able to land Stafford.
