Green Bay Packers fans are encouraged because all is not lost. The reigning league MVP QB Aaron Rodgers recently stayed back in Green Bay following their disappointing exit from the NFL Divisional Round. Rodgers, who does live in Los Angeles, did remain in the Packers building to figure out their way ahead. He was joined by head coach Matt LaFleur and some other Packers’ staff members, and this meeting fills fans with hope.

The franchise, as per sources, is full of ‘cautious optimism’ was the phrase, while giving him space and not altering Rodgers’ process. There is growing respect towards the steps he will be taking to arrive at his eventual major decision.

The former Super Bowl champion has all the options that anyone in his position could ever possibly need. But Rodgers’ decisions will also mostly depend on the franchise and their decision to retain the current roster.

Big decisions ahead for the franchise and Aaron Rodgers

The wideout was really a huge driving force and a great outlet for Rodgers on their way to finishing with the No.1 seed. The franchise is really expected to place a franchise tag on Adams. And then possibly work towards a potential new deal.

There is also a possibility that Rodgers completely step away from the game as he has always held the stance that he will play until the passion and competitiveness burn within him. Further, over the 2021 season, he improved relations with the franchise hierarchy.

The fairy tale ending is something that Rodgers has been searching for in Green Bay, and there might just be one more chance. Despite how slim the opening might appear to be, with Aaron Rodgers on the roster, there is always a chance.
