Reading the tea leaves it looks as though he will surely be traded. The Packers arenāt going to be as good a team this year as they were last year even if Rodgers returns given their cap situation and who they have to release/hit free agency.
So it is trade him, given him a new deal or let him play in 2022 and leave as a FA. Surely if it was simply about money and a new contract then it would have been done weeks ago.
It makes no sense for Green Bay to let him play next year and then leave in FA, they end up in cap hell and get zero for Rodgers when he hits FA and chances are the GM and HC are on the firing block. They would also have to make a decision on Jordan Loveās fifth year option without him playing any meaningful football.
Trade him now and get a haul and start the rebuild from a far better place. They are screwed if they let him play next year without an extension.
Spoke with a few Packers fans in the US last week and they all reckon that this is completely dependent on what happens with Adams. if the Packers keep him Rodgers stays and if heās traded heāll only go somewhere that will take Adams as well. seems a bit mad but you wouldnāt be surprised.
