Aaron Rodgers reportedly already talked to Packers about future – new hope in Green Bay

Aaron Rodgers is currently thinking hard about whether he should stay with the Green Bay Packers or seek a new challenge. The quarterback has already had an exchange with the bosses, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.

Munich – This news will make the hearts of Green Bay Packers fans beat faster. Apparently, the chances of a future with Aaron Rodgers are not as bad as it seemed recently.

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the star quarterback stayed in Green Bay a few days longer after the surprising playoff exit in the Wild Card Round.

Despite the frustration of missing another chance at his second Super Bowl, Rodgers reportedly took the time to speak with head coach Matt LaFleur’s staff about the team’s prospects.

Rodgers: Green Bay feels slight optimism

High jumps are unlikely in free agency, as the franchise is likely to overspend the salary cap by more than $40 million. But everything stands and falls with Rodgers’ decision anyway. And in Green Bay, they are said to be at least quietly optimistic.

However, no one wants to pressure the “Gunslinger”, who announced a decision before the start of Free Agency in March. Packers bosses would respect any move along the way, meaning they can only wait for the 38-year-old to make up his mind on whether to stay or leave.

Rodgers speaks of passion and fighting spirit

In addition to a trade desire, a career ending would also be possible. But that seems the least realistic option. On “The Pat McAfee Show” recently, Rodgers stressed, “I think important factors are the projected direction of the team and the organization and how I fit in there.” In addition, he said he has to ask himself if he still has the passion and fighting spirit.

“That’s where it comes down to how I feel and you don’t know until the offseason starts,” the reigning MVP added: “When you’re a hyper-competitive individual, you have dreams and you think about how the fairy tale is going to end. It doesn’t have to be the Super Bowl, but it would be a hell of a fairy tale. “

Rodgers want chance at Vince Lombardi Trophy

With that, Rodgers again indicated that he desperately wants another shot at the Vince Lombardi Trophy. He is not available for a rebuild, the playmaker stressed shortly after the exit. Although he is still tied up for two years.

So the Packers have to show him how they want to put together a strong team again despite the financial worries.

Preferably with Davante Adams. As is well known, the Rodgers buddy is still without a contract for next season. The only way the Packers would be able to keep their hands on the receiver is via Franchise Day. His retention should also increase the chances of a future with Rodgers.
