In 2019, the Green Bay Packers no longer needed Aaron Rodgers to be Aaron Rodgers. Now, it seems they’re closer than ever to not needing Aaron Rodgers at all.
Make no mistake, the Packers moving up to select quarterback Jordan Love in the first round of last week’s draft was a signal that Rodgers’ time in Green Bay is coming to an end, sooner rather than later. That his eventual exit will mirror that of Brett Favre is a juicy bit of irony: The young pup quarterback with all the physical tools, selected at the end of the first round, and asked to learn from the the old pro, whose own physical gifts have started to wane.
