Vikings featured Isaiah Rodgers on cover of Week 7 media guide ahead of game vs. Eagles
The Eagles and Vikings will meet on Sunday in Minneapolis, and the biggest storyline could be Carson Wentz at quarterback or the impact of Isaiah Rodgers at the cornerback position. Rodgers will play a role in defending A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, but most of the conversation will center on whether the talented cornerback should still be in Philadelphia. Rodgers resurrected his career with the Eagles and then headed to the NFC North after agreeing to a 2-year, $15 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings.
Ed Kracz of Sports Illustrated recently reported that Philadelphia was somewhat aggressive in its attempts to re-sign Rodgers after it appeared no effort was made.
Eagles Wanted Free Agent Cornerback To Return, And He'd Look Good Right Now
PHILADELPHIA – Back in late June, cornerback Isaiah Rodgers said he had Oct. 19 circled on his calendar. That date is almost here, and it’s when his former team, the Eagles, will travel to the home of his new team, the Minnesota Vikings, for a Week 7 matchup.
Rodgers said a lot of things about his time with the Eagles, a time that ended before the Eagles would have liked. Through various conversations, it’s been learned that the Eagles prioritized not only bringing back linebacker Zack Baun, but Rodgers, too.
They got one of two done, but couldn't reel in Rodgers. On Monday, two days before the start of free agency, it was leaked that Rodgers had agreed to a contract with the Vikings. A two-year, $15 million deal was announced on March 13.

Vikings Cornerback Claps Back at False Accusation
Cornerback Isaiah Rodgers arrived to the Minnesota Vikings’ doorstep in March from free agency, and this week, he went out of his way to set the record straight about his departure from the Philadelphia Eagles.
Regarding his free agency, Vikings cornerback Isaiah Rodgers wasn’t willing to let a nonsense tweet slide this week, clearing the air on social media.
Conveniently, Rodgers and his new teammates will face that same Philadelphia squad this weekend, the team Rodgers won a Super Bowl with last season.
Rodgers used the app formerly known as Twitter to clarify some details.
With the Vikings-Eagles showdown looming Sunday, Eagles Nation tweeted this week, “Per Ed Kracz, the Eagles prioritized re-signing CB Isaiah Rodgers in the offseason. They likely would have ‘at least’ matched the Vikings offer. However, it’s unclear that he and his management ever gave them a chance, as it leaked he had agreed to the Minnesota deal 2 days before the start of Free Agency.”
