It is probably the most exciting question before the new season: Where does Aaron Rodgers play in 2022? With the Tennessee Titans, the star quarterback doesn’t seem to be as high on the list. Or let’s put it this way: Ryan Tannehill has a stone in the board there.

Munich – The fans of the Green Bay Packers are currently living in a kind of limbo. Because they don’t know whether the Aaron Rodgers era is already over and they now have to prepare for a few drought years.

Or whether the star quarterback will continue his successful time in Wisconsin and, despite various setbacks and even more quarrels, pick himself up once again to lead the franchise, which is used to success, to another Super Bowl.

Rodgers and the Titans? Tennessee has other plans

Rodgers himself is at best hinting, but doesn’t seem sure what he really wants yet.

But “the Pack” and the “Gunslinger” can cross one possible buyer off their list. The Tennessee Titans, who were also eliminated from the Divisional Round as the top seed in their own conference, already have their signal caller of the future in their ranks.

Titans GM makes it clear: Tannehill remains the quarterback

“Ryan is our quarterback,” general manager Jon Robinson backed Ryan Tannehill on the sidelines of the Senior Bowl, as “ESPN” reports. And then the eulogy really began: “He’s made a lot of plays for us. He’s a great leader. He’s extremely tough.”

He continued, “I love what he gives to our football team, what he stands for. We’re doing everything we can to get him back there, get back on track and continue on that path. “

Weak Tannehill stats

Tannehill had thrown three interceptions in the 16-19 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and also had his weakest stats since arriving in Nashville in the regular season, throwing 21 touchdowns to 14 interceptions. But with a 12-5 record, he led the team into the tightest of favourites. And that was without star running back Derrick Henry, who had been missing for a long time with an injury.

Shortly after the playoff exit, Head Coach Mike Vrabel had already praised his playmaker: “He has outstanding toughness. We have to do great around him. He’s proven himself in accuracy, making decisions, extending plays, scrambling and being a leader. Those are all things you look for in a quarterback, and Ryan embodies them. “

Rodgers reportedly interested in Titans job

But the same is likely true for Rodgers. There is also speculation in the NFL that the veteran would be open to a trade to the Titans and has even built a house in Tennessee.

After all, he had stressed that he was not available for a rebuild. Which is unsurprising, because at 38 years old, he doesn’t have that much time left for his pursuit of a second Super Bowl ring.

Packers and Titans likely to over-extend salary cap

As early as the 2022 season, Rodgers wants the best chance to win the title. Which would undoubtedly be the case with the Titans – probably much sooner than with the Packers. The Packers will definitely have to make significant changes to their squad, as the salary cap would be overstretched by 46 million US dollars, according to “Spotrac”.

For the Titans, on the other hand, it would be “only” six million US dollars. But the door seems to have been closed already.
