Well folks, the summer of mystery is over. The same folks that were telling us how unhappy Rodgers is and how he will not play for the Packers again, are now reporting that he has agreed to some changes in his contract and will indeed play for the Packers this season.
Sorry Bears and Vikings fans (ok, I’ll include the Lions too just to be nice). Oh, and Broncos fans also…
What does it all mean? Here’s a great synopsis from CHTV Alum Zach Kruse over at Packerswire.com:
If the Packers make meaningful change and re-earn Rodgers’ trust, a commitment between player and franchise could be had following the 2021 season via a new deal, possibly one tying Rodgers to the Packers through his eventual retirement.
If the two sides can’t get on the same page in 2021, a clean split is possible early in 2022, with Rodgers getting a say on his new team and the Packers receiving back significant draft capital via trade.
Let’s GO!
Over the past weekend, the two sides were able to reach mutually-agreed upon terms that are close to convincing Aaron Rodgers to abandon plans he had to skip training camp and instead return for it. Concessions do not include more money, per sources. https://t.co/NojVojcHjy
