Former Packers Player Says Team Must Do Something ‘Exceptional’ to Convince Aaron Rodgers to Stay Beyond 2021

The Green Bay Packers have managed to convince Aaron Rodgers to return. The quarterback was spotted last night at the city’s airport right in time for training camp.
But does this mean that Aaron Rodgers trade saga is finally done with? As per sources, that’s far from the case. The Packers management has reportedly agreed to a number of concessions to convince Aaron Rodgers to return for 2021.
As per ESPN, among these concessions include voiding the 2023 year of his current contract and the Packers losing the right to franchise tag him in the future.

All these hint at this being Aaron Rodgers’ final year at Green Bay. But the Packers are also said to review the situation at the end of the campaign with their QB.
This leaves the door open for a potential long-term deal with the franchise. But that will depend on whether or not Aaron Rodgers wants to stay.
Convincing him to stay for one season saw the Packers budge and agree to demands which they have never done before. Thus convincing him to stay for the long run is perhaps going to take something truly extraordinary.

“Boy, it’s hard to look at the writing on the wall and think that’s not the case,” Kuhn said. “I think the Packers need to do something exceptional this year, and maybe something out of the ordinary.”

Kuhn said that the franchise must make some moves to show the QB that they’re in it to win it. With Aaron Rodgers now 37, his window of winning a second Super Bowl ring is slowly drawing to a close.
“The reality is he’s got three, five, six years left in this thing, and he feels like this year if the Packers don’t go all in, that just might be all the sign that he needs to leave,” Kuhn said.
