Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is keeping everyone guessing when it comes to his future with the Green Bay Packers. It is rumored that the now back-to-back, reigning NFL MVP will be headed elsewhere, but the Packers are said to be interested in working out a contract negotiation with him.

Rodgers's contract is a big part of the financial puzzle

Packers, Rodgers, and the new deal

The start of the new league year is Wednesday, March 16. The Packers, a team still over $40 million over the 2022 salary cap, have only a handful of days to get a new deal done with Rodgers and execute other cap-related moves to shed commitments.

What's the deal is all about

The idea is that Rodgers’ new deal will lower his 2022 cap number from $46.7 million, immediately helping the Packers get under the cap by Wednesday. But here’s the thing: finishing a new deal with a soon-to-be 39-year-old quarterback who has considered retirement in back-to-back offseason but also won back-to-back NFL MVPs isn’t exactly a straightforward exercise.

A deal with Rodgers needs to get done

Buckle up. A deal with Rodgers needs to get done, and a busy few days are on the horizon in Green Bay.
