Report: Rodgers torn on where he wants to play in 2022
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is torn on where he wants to play in 2022, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The reigning MVP views the Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Tennessee Titans as options if he leaves the Packers, according to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk. Rodgers apparently has deals lined up with a few AFC teams. Those teams already have trade agreements in place with the Packers.
Rodgers hasn't yet committed to playing next season but is reportedly going back and forth on what he wants to do. A return to Green Bay looked to be his most likely outcome after he seemingly made amends with management throughout the 2021 season.
Plenty of teams - including the Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders, and San Francisco 49ers - have been linked to Rodgers since he aired his grievances with the franchise one year ago. The Broncos, Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Washington Commanders are among the teams in the quarterback market this offseason.
Rodgers is coming off back-to-back MVP seasons with the Packers. Green Bay has reportedly been negotiating a short-term contract with his representatives that would make the 38-year-old the highest-paid player in the NFL if he returns.
The Packers won 13 games in each of the last three seasons but failed to make the Super Bowl in any of them. Their roster could look considerably different in 2022 in light of the number of free agents they have and the salary cap problems that could prompt a number of departures.
