Packers' Aaron Rodgers Reportedly Not on NFL List to Opt Out amid Trade Rumors

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' name is not on the opt-out list under the NFL's transactions Tuesday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Players have the choice to opt out of the 2021 season because of COVID-19, per NFL.com. That option first came into play in 2020.

Players who are considered "higher risk" for COVID-19 will once again receive a $350,000 stipend, but this year, the $150,000 stipend is not available for voluntary opt-outs.

The negotiated deadline between the NFL and NFLPA to opt out of the 2021 season was July 2 at 4 p.
