Rodgers Shocking the Fans
It seems that one of the best quarterbacks of all times isn’t willing to hide his disappointment anymore. Although Rogers speaks politely and without creating any troubles, his words are revealing a certain dose of disappointment.
He would talk about the intention to say in Wisconsin until the end of his career, but added that at this point, that scenario probably wouldn’t happen.
“And so my sincere desire to start and finish with the same organization, just as it has with many other players over the years, may not be a reality at this point,” Rodgers stated last night.
This sentence immediately became one of the top news in the world of sports, setting on fire social networks and the NFL community.
Rodgers admitted that he didn’t feel very comfortable once seeing the Pack’s choice during the draft, but that he understands that the management does what is best for the team.
To remind you, Green Bay traded up to reach No.26 and took Utah State’s quarterback Jordan Love. According to some, it was a clear sign that the Packers are indicating that Aaron Rodgers’ era might be over in the near future.
On the other side, many share the opinion that the 36-year old needs a replacement, and that Matt LaFleur wants to spare Rodgers from certain situations. There is no need for the veteran to spend more on the field time than required. His age is becoming a problem, and as we saw in the previous years, once he picks up an injury, the Packs are a mediocre crew. That is why the management wanted another passer.
Rogers and His Future
Right now, he has four more years on his contract. After the 2021 season, the Packs could trade or release AR, as they won’t have the same amount of dead money as in the years before. For example, in 2020 they would save just $4.7 million, and the year after $22.6 million (would have to count $17 million in dead money, which is far less than in 2020).
This is one more reason for creating the hype about Rodgers’ future. In this case, the scenario is next. If Green Bay fails to win the title in the next two years, they will trade Rodgers, get something in return and start a quick rebuild.
Brett Favre spoke recently and was the first who stated that AR probably wouldn’t finish his career in Green Bay and that he predicts his successor the same destiny he himself had. Favre was the starting QB for the Packs, but then they picked Rodgers, who would later replace him, and force the three-time MVP to leave Lambeau and finish his career away from the place where he became one of the all-time greats.
