Aaron Rodgers Provides BTS Scoop On Green Bay Packers & Deebo Samuel Situation Amidst Another Unsurprising NFL Draft

The Green Bay Packers have faced a lot of uncertainty around their star players since they were knocked out by the San Francisco 49ers last season. Firstly, it was Aaron Rodgers, whose future with the franchise wasn’t clear. Later, it was Davante Adams, the wide receiver who ultimately got traded to the Las Vegas Raiders.

However, Aaron Rodgers decided to commit to the franchise. He is likely to stay in Green Bay till the end of his career. In contrast, the team is lacking offensive power around him. The franchise hasn’t made a move yet for any top WR in the league to replace Davante Adams.

Heading into the NFL Draft 2022, expectations were quite from the Packers front office to get a top-rated WR in the first round. Notably, the Packers had two first-round picks this year. Surprisingly, the Packers didn’t even draft a single offensive player with those picks.

They seemed to have strengthened their defense with their two first-round picks. However, there are still two rounds of the draft left, and the Packers could look to make their move in them.

Aaron Rodgers discusses rumors linking Deebo Samuel to the Packers

During his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Aaron Rodgers was asked multiple questions. He was asked about the rumors linking the likes of Deebo Samuel and DK Metcalf to the Packers. Rodgers replied by saying, “We’ve been in the mix.”

He later added, “It’s not a lot of teams, that would probably want to trade receivers to Green Bay, so I think we’re probably at the back of the line for a lot of these teams.” Rodgers said, “Our picks are usually late, and nobody wants to trade in a player like Deebo probably.”

Aaron Rodgers talked about the rumors of Deebo Samuel to the Packers and said, “If you’re not gonna pay Davante, who we obviously traded him but you know you wanted to move on but going to pay another guy, I don’t know if that makes a ton of sense.”

However, Aaron Rodgers firmly believes that the Packers’ front office will be able to land some offensive firepower through the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the Draft. Davante Adams who is one of the best receivers in football was also a second-round pick by the Packers. As a result, they will hope to strike gold once again in the later rounds of the Draft.
