Aaron Rodgers will be the Green Bay Packers quarterback in 2021. The fact was never in serious doubt, but coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst both confirmed, rather emphatically, that Rodgers – the presumptive MVP – will be back in Green Bay next season, and possibly beyond.
How the Packers handle the next few months will tell us much more about Rodgers’ future in Green Bay past 2021.
Gutekunst, cap manager Russ Ball and the rest of the Packers leadership have a rather important decision to make: Should they re-work Rodgers’ contract, providing a significant portion of much-needed cap space during this unique offseason, or should they leave the deal as is, keeping their options open at quarterback after 2021?
