It’s pretty much set in stone that Aaron Rodgers will be under center and starting for the Green Bay Packers in 2021, especially after the team came within one game of making it to the Super Bowl last season.
Many believe that this upcoming season could very well be his last with the franchise, so it has led to speculation that Rodgers could be making his way off the team next offseason.
According to ESPN, Rodgers does not want to play the 2021 season as a “lame duck” quarterback.
“The team could do that by adjusting his contract without adding any money to it. The Packers could convert a large portion of his $14.7 million base salary into a signing bonus. That would give them additional cap space this season but also would increase the amount of dead money he would count on next year’s cap if they moved on.”
Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski named four teams potential trade suitors for Rodgers ahead of the 2022 NFL season.
- 49ers
- Broncos
- Steelers
- Patriots
Now, this is all depending on if these teams don’t already have a QB in place at that time. We are still waiting to see what happens during the NFL Draft, not to mention, next year’s draft as well.

Rodgers, who threw for 4,299 yards and a career-high 48 touchdowns in 2020, led the Packers to an NFC-best 13 wins, and two weeks following the team’s NFC title game loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he was named league MVP for the third time in his career.
