I believe the Packers will trade Aaron Rodgers this year. It’s obvious to me that Rodgers is ready to move on, but I acknowledge that he could also simply be angling for the richest contract in NFL history. Rodgers signed a four-year, $134 million extension in 2018, but he may believe that Green Bay is planning on trading or releasing him in 2022, when he’ll be 39.
Why?
The NFL just set a salary cap max of $208 million for the 2022 season. The Packers have $237 million in liabilities for 2022. They’re in the worst position for 2022 than any other team in the NFL, including the Rams.
