I just get the sense listening to MacAfee and some of the things Rodgers has said that he definitely wanted to play for the Rams or Vikings, and would have signed with either team already.
IMO, his #1 plan was the Rams once Stafford left, which seemed pretty likely. He goes to LA, plays there in a fairly weak division with a great offensive minded HC. Then the Vikings emerged as an idea and he wanted to explore that and try to drum up interest. Great team, play in the old division, get 2 shots at Green Bay. But it turns out they don't seem interested.
So now, it's Steelers or Giants. Steelers are allergic to NFL offense, and always seem to start 11-1 or 9-3 and then lose a bunch of games in a row before getting bounced in the Wild Card round. But they have a good team and just got Metcalf for some reason.
Giants are just awful and have 1 good offensive player and a coach and GM about to get fired halfway through the season if things start rough. Both Washington and Philly are great teams, so it's also a tough division.
I could see him saying he came back in his 40's from a torn Achilles to be a top 10 QB in yards and TDs last season (which is somehow true), played all 17 games, was starting to heat up at the end of the year once he fully recovered from injury, won his 4 MVPs and a Super Bowl, and has nothing to prove.
He'll also deny that he tried to join the Vikings or kept anyone waiting, saying the media created it all and loves making him the center of controversy.
Just my prediction.
