The Green Bay Packers have not yet received an offer for Aaron Rodgers, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst, and expect the quarterback to decide on his future in a timely manner. Davante Adams, however, is expected to remain regardless.
Green Bay/ Munich – Will Aaron Rodgers continue to play for the Green Bay Packers, end his career or move to another team?
The future of the quarterback is still unclear.
However, anyone who thinks that all teams are inquiring about the superstar is wrong, at least according to General Manager Brian Gutekunst. When asked if anyone in charge of another NFL team had called, he replied: “Not at all. Not a single person. “
Gutekunst expects Rodgers decision before March 16
Possibly this also has to do with the fact that Rodgers himself has not yet made a clear statement about his future. Gutekunst, however, expects that to happen by the time Free Agency begins on March 16.
“I hope so, yeah. That’s the start of the new league year, of course. There are a lot of decisions that have to be made before that. So that would be helpful. I think we’ll know something before then.”
The Packers are preparing for different scenarios. However, he said this has been the case in previous years as well.
“It’s really no different than every year because when you get to this time, there’s just a lot of unknowns,” Gutekunst said. “You always have free agents that you want to bring back. You don’t know how that’s going to work out. You kind of have to have plan B, plan C and those things. It’s really no different.”
Only the media attention this time around is greater than usual, he said. “Obviously it gets a lot of attention because of the player and his status, but other than that it’s really no different. “
Davante Adams to stay in Green Bay
It is certain that the Packers want to keep their wide receiver Davante Adams with the team. If a long-term contract has not been negotiated by March 8, they would pull the franchise tag.
The pass receiver’s retention is completely separate from the quarterback situation, according to Gutekunst: “They’re two different players and two different situations, both great in their own right. We’ve been fortunate to have them on the team and hopefully we’ll be able to have them both continue to progress with us. But they are separate. “
