Unexpected NFC Team Shows Keen Interest in Aaron Rodgers After the End of Darkness Retreat

Aaron Rodgers’ future in the NFL is currently a hot topic of conversation, as many experts are analyzing his potential move in this offseason. Meanwhile, many teams were also asking the Packers about Rodgers’ decision. Earlier, the Jets approached the Green Bay team for a possible trade, as they are in need of a quarterback. Now, another NFC team has also made an inquiry to the Packers regarding Rodgers, as per NFL insider Adam Schefter.

Notably, Rodgers recently came out of his ‘darkness retreat’, where he spent a few days in a dark room, thinking about his future and trying to mend some past memories. Earlier, he talked about providing some answers to the NFL world. In the recent ‘Aubrey Marcus Podcast’, he did talk about his current state of mind; however, he’s yet to discuss his footballing future.

A new team shows interest in Aaron Rodgers

During ESPN’s ‘NFL Live’ show, Schefter informed that the Carolina Panthers have emerged as a new contender for Aaron Rodgers. Notably, the Panthers have been struggling with their quarterback for a long time. Earlier, Cam Newton was showing signs of great things in 2017; however, injuries have hampered his career massively. Now, he is a free agent.

On the other hand, the Panthers have tried Baker Mayfield last season, which failed miserably for them. In the latter half of the season, the Panthers waived him off; as a result, he signed with the Rams, where Mayfield impressed significantly.

Meanwhile, if the Panthers are serious about acquiring Rodgers, it could be a game-changing move for the franchise. Rodgers, 39, has still a few good years left in him, which he showed near the end of the season with the Packers. Notably, the Panthers never won a Super Bowl in the history of their franchise. If they get Rodgers, they could become one of the favorites to win the NFC South. Moreover, they could make a good run in the playoffs as well.

Last season, the Panthers won 7 out of 17 games in the regular season and fell just short of one win to clinch the playoff berth. Certainly, they will get a massive boost if they get the 4-time MVP.

Is Rodgers’ career over with the Packers?

Meanwhile, Rodgers is still under contract with the Packers, who are also looking at the options to trade Rodgers this offseason. Moreover, a few reports suggested that the Packers’ GM, Brian Gutekunst was already looking to move on from the QB last season.

Last season, in the final game against the Lions, the Packers suffered a loss, which ended their season and their playoff hopes. Rodgers appeared to have played his final game with the Green Bay side, as he wanted to keep his jersey as a souvenir.

With all the recent trade talks, it certainly looks like his career is almost over with the Packers. Now, the main question is whether Rodgers is willing to play in the 2023 season. If yes, the Jets and the Panthers are all lining up to get the 39-year-old QB.
