Early offseason Aaron Rodgers to the Rams<\/a> rumors have begun to resurface \u2014 and HC Sean McVay set the record straight.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Good Morning Football’s Kyle Brandt<\/a> asked McVay to clarify what really happened between the Rams and Rodgers this offseason \u2014 and this was his response:<\/p>\n

“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 \u2014 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.”<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh was considered a major favorite to land Stafford when trade speculation surrounding the Rams QB ran rampant \u2014 before he ultimately signed a massive extension to remain in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

It’s crazy to imagine that there exists a possibility where Rodgers potentially signed with the Rams \u2014 and the Steelers<\/a> may have been able to land Stafford.<\/p>\n
