Earlier Sunday morning, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Green Bay Packers are “prepared to go all in” on quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
“Packers are prepared to go all in for Aaron Rodgers in 2022, spending as close to the cap this year and spreading it into future years as much as possible, per sources,” Schefter reported. “Saints used this approach for Drew Brees and Green Bay willing to deploy that model to further entice Rogers.”
Schefter’s sources are rarely wrong, but there is one former Packers executive who is a bit skeptical. Former Packers exec Andrew Brandt suggested that’s not how the organization does business.
“If the Packers commit to Aaron for two years, they will have wasted the Jordan Love pick,” he said in a message on Twitter. “I know what you’re saying: ‘Who cares, it’s Aaron!’ But they care. These are not the Rams; they are the ‘Draft and Develop’ Packers.

Rodgers is still under contract for the 2022 season and has a player option for 2023. However, it seems like the team is trying to lock him in with a massive offer for at least the 2022 campaign.
Clearly Andrew Brandt thinks the team might do something else. Does that mean trading Aaron Rodgers to another team?
We’ll find out in the coming weeks.
