Will leave? Won’t leave? For a good year, the fate of Aaron Rodgers agitates almost permanently the life of the Packers.
Annoyed by the selection of Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 Draft, decided to leave in 2021, finally patched up after treating the past season as his last, the quarterback is still under contract for a year.
And the leaders of Green Bay do not intend to let go.
“We’re significantly over the salary limit for the coming year, and we’re going to have to make some tough decisions to get under it,” Packers president Mark Murphy said. “A key factor will be whether Aaron Rodgers returns for the 2022 season. Matt LaFleur, Brian Gutekunst (GM) and Russ Ball (Director of Football Operations) and I are all in agreement that we want Aaron back. . He will probably win his fourth MPV title in the league, he is the undisputed leader of our team and he is still playing at a high level at 38 years old. “
The Packers exceed the expected salary cap for 2022 by about $50 million. They have 24 players free at the end of the season, including Davante Adams.
The coming weeks should be punctuated by rumors. Unless Rodgers clears things up quickly?
