EAGAN, Minn. — Isaiah Rodgers<\/a> won a Super Bowl<\/a> with the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> in February, then signed with the Minnesota Vikings<\/a> in March. The veteran cornerback is now primed for a key role in Brian Flores’ defense, starting opposite Pro Bowler Byron Murphy<\/a> Jr., but he flew back to be with his old team to collect championship rings this summer.<\/p>\n Have any Vikings teammates asked to see the Super Bowl jewelry since then?<\/p>\n “A couple,” Rodgers told CBS Sports on Thursday, “but I told ’em no. Wait until we get our own.”<\/p>\n These aren’t empty words from Rodgers, either. He signed a two-year contract with the Vikings for multiple reasons: He’s been an admitted fan of Flores since his college days at UMass, and he was due for a starting gig after a promising rotational role in Philadelphia. Above all, though, he envisions Minnesota as ready to vie for a title right now.<\/p>\n “I think it’s already here,” Rodgers said of the championship recipe. “You look at our head coach. Amazing guy, amazing coach. I think you have to be more player-led. By coming here, and watching how these players lead, I think we definitely got it.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What’s up with Justin Jefferson? Taking stock of Vikings’ wide receiver room, who’s up next, potential targets<\/p>\n \n Cody Benjamin <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Kevin O’Connell isn’t the only reason Rodgers buys into the Vikings’ 2025 upside. He also highlighted Minnesota’s defensive line, which added Javon Hargrave<\/a> and Jonathan Allen<\/a> this offseason, suggesting the Vikings’ front will take even more pressure off the secondary than was the case in his Eagles tenure. And he’s a big believer in young quarterback J.J. McCarthy<\/a>, praising the on-field maturity and underrated arm of the second-year signal-caller after Thursday’s joint practice with the New England Patriots<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images EAGAN, Minn. — Isaiah Rodgers won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles in February, then…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289461,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2068],"tags":[18452,25,7,9714,1519,1824,9085,259,6,242,109,2476],"class_list":{"0":"post-289460","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-eagles","8":"tag-byron-murphy","9":"tag-eagles","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-isaiah-rodgers","12":"tag-j-j-mccarthy","13":"tag-javon-hargrave","14":"tag-jonathan-allen","15":"tag-minnesota-vikings","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-philadelphia","18":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","19":"tag-philadelphiaeagles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115031471888594304","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"What's](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755240853_268_template-pic.jpg\")
