If Aaron Rodgers wants out, the Packers will oblige with his request.
The Packers will work with Aaron Rodgers on a trade if he doesn’t want to be in Green Bay in 2023, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. In order to get a trade done, however, Rodgers would need to rework his contract for salary-cap purposes.
“If Rodgers comes to the team with a request to play his 19th season elsewhere, sources say the Packers are open to working with the four-time AP NFL MVP on a trade,” Pelissero and Rapoport wrote Sunday.
The waiting game with Rodgers will continue as Rodgers decides his future. But the ball is in the quarterback’s court: “The first move belongs to Rodgers,” per Pelissero and Rapoport.
Teams have already reached out to the Packers on a trade but the team is waiting until Rodgers decides his future. It is up to him whether he plays next year, or he retires from the game. Following the Super Bowl, he will begin a four-day, four-night darkness retreat.
The Packers and the rest of the NFL await his decision which will undoubtedly turn the league upside down either way.
