The Green Bay Packers hve zero plans of releasing Aaron Rodgers from their roster, so the only he is not with them next season is if they decided to trade him elsewhere.
Matt LaFleur was asked about the possibility of trading Rodgers this offseason during a press conference on Monday. He did not even bother to entertain that idea.
“I just want to do everything in my power to get him back here and make sure he’s comfortable with the direction of our football team,” said LaFleur.
Rodgers has said he doesn’t want to play on a rebuilding team at this point in his career and with the Packers tough salary cap spot, it will be tough for them to retains some of the bigger names on the roster. Given that they are $44.8 million over their projected cap for the 2022 season, it might be difficult to retain key players, including Adams — who is set to be a free agent.
The Packers could use the franchise tag on Adams but given their salary-cap situation, that might not be a possibility.

Despite how crazy last offseason became, Rodgers appeared to be happy with the team this season. LaFleur even said that this off season will be nothing like the last one, because the communication between Rodgers and management is much better now.
Aaron Rodgers has rewritten the record books throughout his Hall of Fame career and added another mark during Saturday night’s NFC divisional playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. But it was a record he wanted nothing to do with. Rodgers became the first quarterback in NFL history to lose four times to a single opponent in the Super Bowl era after falling to the the San Francisco 49ers 13-10.
Rodgers finished 20 of 29 for 225 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in the loss, the second career game in the postseason he finished with no passing touchdowns. The Packers have failed to reach the Super Bowl the last three times they were the No. 1 seed.
