“But if there is a phone call that comes in from Denver, they see a 303 area code and it’s George Paton calling up Brian Gutekunst and says ‘Hey how about three first-rounders for Aaron Rodgers?’.
“I think the Packers say yes to that. They’re the ones who started the clock, they’re the ones who said after the 2021 season, it’s the time that they’re going to start moving on… They’ve got to think long and hard about it.”

For Aaron Rodgers, it allows him to get a fresh start with a historically great franchise. The Broncos have been one of the elite teams in the NFL over the last two decades.
