Rodger’s decision will be a big one since many other key players would rely on that decision to choose whether they should stay or not. And now it seems that the franchise is in peril, as the Packers have to make decisions on players like Davante Adams, Allen Lazard, Robert Tonyan, and Kevin King.
Since the franchise enters the offseason with $44.8 million over the salary cap of the aforementioned players, as per NFL Insider’s Adam Schefter.

“I don’t know. That’s a fair question. Definitely one I’ve thought about. But there are a lot of decisions to be made.

I don’t want to be part of a rebuild if I’m going to keep playing. So a lot of decisions in the next couple of months.”
