The reigning two-time MVP is staying in the NFC for the foreseeable future. The Packers and Aaron Rodgers are closing in on a four-year extension worth a reported $200 million, ending the seemingly endless drama between the team and quarterback.
The Rams probably wouldn’t have minded if Rodgers went to the AFC, but as the defending Super Bowl champions, they’ll welcome any and all challenges next season so long as they have Matthew Stafford at quarterback – which they do, and should for many years to come.
The Rams are prioritizing a contract extension for Stafford this offseason, knowing he only has one year left on his current deal. Nothing is imminent right now, and after seeing Rodgers’ hefty raise, Stafford could be in for a similar bump in pay.
