Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers were upset by the San Francisco 49ers 13-10 in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday evening.
Following that loss, Rodgers has an uncertain future in Green Bay. The Packers are projected to be $44.8 million over the NFL’s salary cap in 2022, and they could free up about $27.62 million if they trade Rodgers and designate it as a post-June 1 transaction.
Green Bay also has several key players — including star wide receiver Davante Adams — scheduled to become free agents, and it might be difficult for the Packers to re-sign Adams and keep Rodgers and still manage stay under the cap.
