And with multiple injuries plaguing the Packers QB1, many have raised doubts if Rodgers will stay at Lambeau Field next season. Head coach Matt LaFleur faced this question about the future of the quarterback, who has largely been the face of the franchise all these years. And he had a four-word response to the query.
