The Green Bay Packers are at a crossroads as a franchise. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the soon-to-be four-time NFL MVP, is starting the process of determining his football future – more specifically, whether he wants to stay in Green Bay, ask for a trade or retire – after a stunning loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the division round of the NFC playoffs.
His decision will re-write the future of the team both in the short and long term.
The Packers want Rodgers back. Or at least they are saying they do publicly. The 38-year-old quarterback has led the Packers to three-straight 13-win seasons and is about to win his second-straight MVP award after tossing 37 touchdown passes and four interceptions in 2021. Obviously, the Packers aren’t going to boot a player of his caliber out the door.
