Aaron Rodgers winning MVP for the Packers didn't seem likely after summer drama

INGLEWOOD, CALIF. — Last July 26, there was a report that Aaron Rodgers planned to play the 2021 season for the Green Bay Packers. On July 27, Rodgers reported for training camp.

For the three months before that, we had no idea if Rodgers' Packers career was over. People wondered if he'd host "Jeopardy" instead. There were reports on draft day that the Denver Broncos were close to landing him in a trade. That trade never happened but after Rodgers indicated in the spring that he didn't want to be in Green Bay anymore, it seemed if Rodgers won a second straight MVP it would be with another team.
