Aaron Rodgers has been the face of the Green Bay Packers for nearly two decades, but the end of his tenure with the franchise is once again a huge topic of discussion for the second-straight offseason.
To make sure he doesn’t leave, the Green Bay Packers are reportedly preparing a new deal to keep star quarterback Aaron Rodgers. That is the report coming from NFL insider Benjamin Allbright who stated the Packers are preparing a “monster deal” in an effort to keep Rodgers in Green Bay.
“Everyone is eyeing the Raiders situation and if they extend Carr or not. (They should). Washington and Houston jump out. People have suggested Denver but I don’t think that’s a thing. They’re all-in on Rodgers, but I hear GB is trying offering him a monster deal.”
Offerng a huge deal is quite the eye-opener after the Packers offered Rodgers a two-year contract extension last offseason that would have tied him to Green Bay for five more seasons and made him the highest-paid player in the NFL. He turned it down, however, he was on bad terms with everybody in the front office at the time and their relationships have gotten so much better since then.
In the regular season, Rodgers passed for 4,115 yards, 37 TDs and four interceptions and led the Packers to a 13-4 record and the top seed in the NFC.
Despite the good regular season, he fell to 0-4 in the playoffs against the San Francisco 49ers.
