On NFL Total Access, the insider said, “Nothing is done, but they are having discussions,” Rapoport continues, “They are having negotiations to have a deal, hopefully for them, ready to go if and when Aaron Rodgers firmly and finally decides that he wants to return.”  

Ian Rapoport states that the deal would be short term. And on a per-year basis, it could make Rodgers the highest-paid player in the NFL. It seems like the Packers are ready to go to any extent to keep the 38-year-old quarterback. The QB is the center of a football team. Green Bay has modeled itself around Rodgers. So until his situation is certain, they cannot make any changes to the squad. 

Would Rodgers stay in Wisconsin?

Aaron Rodgers has said that he does not wish to be a part of a rebuilding squad. The quarterback wants to win the Super Bowl again before he retires. In order to do that, Rodgers would not shy away from a trade.

Some positive news is possibly coming in the direction of the Green Bay fans. If the deal works out, their beloved QB will stay with the team. What are your thoughts about Aaron Rodgers’ future?
