Get your affairs in order.
For a while now, Packers fans have had this terrible, awful, nagging feeling in the pit of their stomachs. Something's just been off. No one's been able to shake the idea that, somehow, Aaron Rodgers was going to end up as a Minnesota Viking.

The signs were all there: Rodgers and the Jets broke up, Sam Darnold used one (1) single good season to land a nine-figure deal, and no one seems to really know just where JJ McCarthy is in his knee rehab process. The Vikings are, unfortunately, having one hell of an offseason, and the idea of bringing Rodgers in to try and give him one last Super Bowl was a dark reality that Packers fans didn't want to accept. And for a while, they didn't have to.
But dread it, run from it, destiny still arrives. According to The Athletic's Senior NFL Writer Dianna Russini, the possibility of Rodgers completing the Brett Favre career arc is not only very real from Minnesota's perspective, but Rodgers' as well.
This Aaron Rodgers-Brett Favre thing is really going to happen, huh
"Vikings decision-makers are still evaluating their options at quarterback, including the possibility of signing Aaron Rodgers," she tweeted on Wednesday afternoon. "The four-time MVP is intrigued by the idea of playing in Minnesota. For now, it’s a waiting game, sources tell Mike Silver and me."
You know what? Fine. Whatever. So be it. If the Vikings are dead-set on bringing Rodgers in to absolutely destroy the vibes that last season and this offseason have built, don't let me get in the way. Surely Aaron Rodgers will treat a head coach who's two years younger than him with a ton of respect.
It is kinda eerie, though. And by eerie maybe I really mean 'extremely bleak' or something even more depressing that I can't convey with the english language. For a moment there, I really thought we were going to get to just watch him waste away a final few seasons trying to recapture the R-E-L-A-X moment on some 4-win Jets teams.
It's times like these where we need the New York Giants more than ever. You've never let us down before, Joe Schoen. Please don't start now. If you pull this off, I promise to never make fun of the Xavier McKinney decision ever again.
