“It’s a Domino That Has to Fall”: Packers GM Waits For Aaron Rodgers’ Decision Before He Makes Any Changes To The Team

It seems like the Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers is holding the team hostage with his future in question. It is obvious that a football team is centered around the quarterback. He is the most crucial part of the team. The entire offense depends on the shot caller. 

Since 2005, Rodgers has been the heart and soul of the Green Bay Packers attack. Over the years, they have molded the team around him. The fans always thought that he would retire in Wisconsin. But that seems unlikely these days. With his future in jeopardy, GM Brian Gutekunst is hesitant to make any changes to the squad.

The offseason is a pivotal point for the Green Bay Packers. The franchise is looking to make some big changes to the team. But the team cannot move forward in rebuilding the squad until their quarterback situation is sorted out.

Aaron Rodgers has not yet made a decision about his future. The QB has hinted at moving out of Green Bay before. The GM Brian Gutekunst is not really interested in letting Rodgers go. He knows how much the franchise depends on the four-time MVP. 

“Obviously everything around here centers around the quarterback. That’s kind of how we do things.” Gutekunst adds, “It’s a big piece. It’s a domino that has to fall before we go down other avenues. So it’s important as we go through this and the puzzle pieces that we got to make fit.”

“That’s the first one to go…There’s some timing elements to things. We’ve had really good conversations with Aaron and everybody throughout the process.” If you take the quarterback out, the entire squad falls. The GM is aware of that fact. 

Will Aaron Rodgers stay with the franchise?

Aaron Rodgers has been with the Packers since 2005. Green Bay selected the quarterback in the first round of the 2005 NFL draft. Initially, Rodgers started as a backup quarterback for Brett Favre. But it did not take him long to become the star attraction of the franchise. 

After becoming the MVP four times and winning one Super Bowl, Rodgers thinks it’s time to move on. He wants to win another Super Bowl and to do that, the 38-year-old thinks, he has to move on. And when the last regular season ended, the QB has said he would entertain other offers. The chances of Aaron Rodgers moving out of Green Bay seem very high.
