Will Aaron Rodgers stay?

Last offseason, Aaron Rodgers had reconstructed his contract and re-established his relationship with the franchise. It turned the 2023 season of the quarterback into a void year. 

According to Sportac, the Packers owe Rodgers $26.4 million in 2022. Because of the void year, a trade could be possible this offseason. Rodgers has a year left in his contract. There is no final word on the situation of the quarterback next year. There were some rumors with the Titans, but they shut them down. The Packers want Rodgers to stay for another season, and the fans want him to retire here. Where do you think we will see Aaron Rodgers play next season?
