Unless Aaron Rodgers wants to go nuclear (and he could), the Packers don’t have to do anything with his deal or in the offseason. But they’ve said he’s their QB for more than just this season. Their actions now have to match the words.
Matt LaFleur suppressed laughter at the question. In fact, he responded with a joke, “Is that a trick question?” he replied to a question on if Aaron Rodgers will be the Green Bay Packers’ quarterback in 2021. Brian Gutekunst not only doubled-down, he expanded on the party line, saying not only would he be under center for the Packers this year but there was no circumstance he could see trading Rodgers, and that the team expects him to be the quarterback beyond this upcoming year.
