GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Tom Clements, one of the coaches Aaron Rodgers has long credited for his development during his early days in the NFL, is coming out of retirement to return to the Packers as quarterbacks coach.
Clements verbally accepted the job on Thursday, a source told ESPN. The contract still has to be signed, but that is expected to be just a formality.
While there's the obvious connection to Rodgers, a source said it doesn't guarantee that the reigning NFL MVP will return to the Packers but rather is another move that the Packers hope will convince Rodgers to come back.
