When Aaron Rodgers signed his four-year extension to return to the Packers as the NFL’s highest-paid quarterback in March, he was “all in” on his decision to lead the franchise to more success and a chance to compete for another Super Bowl.
However, through nine weeks of the 2022 season, Green Bay’s offense—a unit that is accustomed to being elite—has been starved of consistency and limited in points scored, resulting in the franchise suffering five consecutive losses. Currently, Green Bay ranks 14th in total yards (345.3), 15th in passing yards (224.7) and 27th in points scored (17.1) per game.
In the buildup of the franchise’s struggles in recent weeks, Rodgers has been very vocal about things needing to change in Green Bay, citing the need for better chemistry with receivers and the desire to get some additional help during this year’s NFL trade deadline more than a week ago. Following a week in which the Packers remained silent at the league’s trade deadline, the four-time MVP finished 23-for-43 for 291 yards with one touchdown while throwing three interceptions for the first time since 2017 in the Packers’ 15–9 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
