Rodgers, 41, has been linked with a move to Minnesota after being cut loose by the New York Jets.
He had two disastrous years in the Big Apple having spent almost two decades in Green Bay.
Rodgers is a four-time MVP and tormented the Bears during his time as Packers quarterback.
He famously shouted “I own you” to Bears fans at Soldier Field after scoring a touchdown in 2021.
The quarterback has another NFC North team in Minnesota as a potential destination this year.
Bears running back Roschon Johnson spoke to The Sun from a flag football event in England.
And he said, “I would love to play against Aaron Rodgers in the division again and see if we can get a win on him.
“We haven’t really talked about it – I haven’t heard anything yet.”
The Vikings are committed to JJ McCarthy as their starting quarterback after he missed his entire rookie season injured.
Sam Darnold stepped in under center last year and did a superb job to land himself a mega deal.
He joined the Seattle Seahawks on a three-year, $100 million contract last month.
Rodgers was also linked with the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers.
He is said to be in no rush to make a decision on whether to carry on playing or retire.
The former Super Bowl champion visited the Steelers facility for nearly an entire day last month.
Head coach Mike Tomlin discussed what happened when Rodgers stopped by at the annual league meeting in Palm Beach, Florida.

“It’s been reported that he spent a day with us, and it was a really good day,” the coach said.
“Specifically, he and I obviously have known of each other for some time.
“It was really good to spend some time together and get to know each other more intimately.
“I really wanted to spend more of our time just getting to know him better and things that he values as a player and a man, and what he might be looking for with his next stop.
“But it is free agency, it is a process, and I have nothing of any more significance to add other than that.”
Roschon Johnson, meanwhile, backs the Bears to bounce back in 2025 under new coach Ben Johnson.
The 38-year-old joined from another division rival in the Detroit Lions, where he was offensive coordinator for three years.
Chicago finished 5-12 and bottom of the division despite high hopes before the year, given their string of offensive talent.
The third-year running back told The Sun, “I definitely think 2023 and 2024 were learning years for me.
“There’s a lot left on the table for me to accomplish and do and I’m excited.
“Ben Johnson is a great offensive mind who knows how to put the pieces together.
“I feel like we have pieces there to help go out and get some championships.”
