Aaron Rodgers has a lot to ponder about as far as his future with the Packers is concerned. The Green Bay Packers and Rodgers found success last season, securing the best record in the NFC with a 13-3 record.

And in the Playoffs, they played some excellent football to reach the NFC championship game. There they lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and that’s where the relationship between Rodgers and the franchise was broken.

ESPN had several anonymous NFL entities weighing in on the Aaron Rodgers–Green Bay Packers situation. He noted that Rodgers has a great deal of leverage in this situation.

However, Rodgers doesn’t have many options in the current scenario. But he also noted that Rodgers has a reputation of being difficult, which could derail the negotiations.

“If I was Aaron’s agent, I mean, he has more leverage than anybody else in the country. But what can you do in this situation? That’s the thing. It’s really hard to say without knowing what conversations have occurred.

“Because what I’ve also heard is Aaron is stubborn, and who knows that they’re not offering up a palatable situation that is a middle ground and he’s saying ‘F*** that – I’m not budging and do it the way I want to do it or not’.”

“I’m going to assume that some sort of middle ground has been attempted by the Packers, and I’m going to assume right now that Aaron is not listening to it.

“So if I’m Aaron’s agent, if I have to cater to my guy, and I have to find a way to communicate to my guy and I have to find a way to make the whole situation palatable for him in his own perception because his ego is such that if you don’t make it that, then there’s nothing ever going to happen.”
