Aaron Rodgers trade rumors Ranking four logical landing spots for the longtime Packers quarterback

Wiki Article

Are and the nearing a ? That depends on who you ask, but the reigning NFL MVP told the Packers he doesn't want to return to Green Bay, . A reigning NFL MVP has never been traded following his MVP year, but it sounds like that could change, if Rodgers gets his way. After a second straight NFC Championship lo s. Rodgers indicated his future in Green Bay was "uncertain," and initially team leadership insisted the perennial Pro Bowler will be back in 2021. But ever since the team spent a first-round draft pick on his likely succe sor last year in Jordan Love, the writing has been on the wall, and coming from Rodgers' mouth: A change, at some point, will come.Can it happen this offseason? It sure can, regardle s of what the Packers say. Green Bay would Quenton Nelson Jersey save $5.5 million by trading the legendary signal-caller early in 2021, and as , it could save as much as $22 million by trading him after June 1, not to mention an additional $22.6M in 2022 and $28.3M in 2023. That is a lot of dough, especially considering Rodgers' big deal -- and reported desires for a new deal -- would seemingly prohibit Green Bay from making a quick switch to .Where could Rodgers end up, if he actually forces Green Bay's hand? Here are five of the most likely landing spots:4. John Elway just spent a year giving all kinds of new toys, and he's at times seemed genuinely committed to letting the former second-rounder grow into Denver's unquestioned leader. Retaining both coach Vic Fangio and offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur could be taken as another vote of confidence in Lock's upside. But Lock stumbled pretty badly throughout 2020 (when he wasn't injured or on the COVID list), Jelani Woods Jersey while the rival roll on and the showcased a superior hot, young QB. Is it crazy to suggest Elway might be tempted to return to the veteran QB well, not only because it worked with and because Rodgers would represent a similar gamble, but because Lock never cost Denver a premium price? Green Bay, meanwhile, would keep Rodgers out of the NFC, and Rodgers himself .3. has managed to endure years of speculation about Jon Gruden's desire for a new QB, and yet he wasn't entrenched enough to prevent the team from adding as a potential replacement-in-waiting in 2020. Mike Mayock has already praised him for his subsequent performance, but Rodgers is a different breed. And the Raiders can cut Carr and save almost $20 million, almost instantly putting them back under the projected 2021 cap.Edgar Bennett, who serves on Gruden's offensive staff, spent 2015-17 as the Packers' offensive coordinator, and Rigoberto Sanchez Jersey in his first two years at the helm, Rodgers threw 71 touchdowns and just 15 interceptions. Gruden's track record of QB development -- or lack thereof -- speaks even more volumes: We talk every year about he and the Raiders potentially eyeing a top rookie signal Chris Wilcox Jersey -caller, but Gruden , and if he does, he doesn't draft them high. The guy likes vets. And if there's one vet he could surely convince Mayock to pursue, it's prime-time darling Rodgers. Talk about jump-starting a new NFL market! 2. The Pats have seemingly been content to proceed with uncertainty at QB in the wake of departure, and it's very po sible Bill Belichick believes his team will be in position to draft a true succe sor in 2021. But let's not kid ourselves: If Rodgers were available, Belichick would have to make a call. He's got more than enough cap space to play with.Longtime Packers personnel executive Eliot Wolf, who was in Green Bay when the Pack drafted Rodgers and when Rodgers won both MVP and a Super Bowl, now resides in New England's front office. And whatever you have to say about the Patriots' offensive system, does anyone really think Robert Kraft and the entire leadership team wouldn't jump at the chance to put one over on the rest of the league and go from touting Tom Brady to Aaron Rodgers in a matter of a few years? Instantly, they'd win back title-favorite support. Rodgers would get a chance to pick up the mantle of a dynasty. And the rest of the football world would swimmingly go back to rooting against the Patriots.1. Niners management tepidly says they believe in , who's just a year removed from starting in the Super Bowl. But they didn't believe in him enough to in 2020, and this offseason they've doubled down on the po sibility of pursuing an upgrade. San Francisco can straight-up cut Jimmy G and Jordan Glasgow Jersey instantly save more than $24 million, with only a $2.8M dead cap hit, and that's a suming they can't find a taker on the trade market. In other words, if Kyle Shanahan wants a new, flashy QB, John Lynch can make it happen, and it won't wreck the team's finances. Better yet, Rodgers and San Francisco are darn near a match made in heaven. The 49ers have even tried to acquire Rodgers prior to the draft! The staff connections aren't overt, but Rodgers, remember, grew up le s than three hours from the city. He's a California boy, through and through, and was a Niners fan growing up. Heck, the man thought he was going Danny Pinter Jersey No. 1 the 49ers during his infamous 2005 draft-day slide. Not only would the storylines be magnificent -- San Francisco finally embracing their true franchise QB, more than a decade later -- but the on-field fit would make sense. Rodgers would easily be Shanahan's most talented arm, and you'd have to think the run game and defense will still be built up enough to take pre sure off No. 12 for more Super Bowl runs.
