Aaron Rodgers will be playing for the Green Bay Packers or an AFC team next season.
Overnight, Pro Football Talk reported Rodgers will play for the Packers, Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers or Tennessee Titans. Everything is done beyond the actual decision.
As Mike Florio wrote:
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Rodgers has specific deals lined up with other teams — and those teams have trade compensation lined up with the Packers. The potential moves have been arranged, essentially, with the permission of the Packers.
On Friday night,
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Rodgers is “truly torn” on where he wants to play next season. It was the first inkling that Rodgers was considering playing somewhere other than Green Bay. Prior to that,
it seemed like Rodgers’ decisions were between playing and retiring.
“I talked at length at various times about being comfortable walking away and just not playing, and I don’t want to create more questions than I probably already have, but I don’t fear retirement, I don’t fear moving on,” Rodgers said at NFL Honors.
“I’m very proud of what I’ve accomplished, proud that I’ve accomplished it in Green Bay over the last 17 years and excited about the future, whatever that ends up being or looking like. Also still highly competitive and still [have] that bitter taste from the divisional game, so definitely a lot to weigh, but thankful for the Packers organization and the conversations that we had at the end of the season and just the way the whole season went.”
