Kirk Cousins' fully guaranteed deal adds layer to Aaron Rodgers' talks

Fully guaranteed.

Those two words are staring the Green Bay Packers in the face as they navigate negotiations with quarterback Aaron Rodgers on a contract extension.

Team president Mark Murphy told reporters on Sunday at the NFL annual meetings in Orlando that he remained confident the two sides will work out a new deal this offseason. However, the landscape has changed significantly since talks began earlier his offseason between Rodgers' agent, David Dunn, and Packers negotiator Russ Ball.

Both Murphy and first-year general manager Brian Gutekunst spoke confidently earlier this month that a deal would get done soon.
