Aaron Rodgers' inability to make a decision has irked NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, whose job is to closely monitor the quarterback's career. On Tuesday, Rapoport expressed his weariness of the off-season rumors surrounding Rodgers, stating that the Packers may also be fed up with the ongoing drama.
Rapoport commented, "I don't see it as a plausible scenario. I mean, I'm tired of it, and I can understand if they're tired of it. But he's still Aaron Rodgers, still great. They know what they have." With free agency starting on March 15th, time is running out for the Packers to determine what they will do with their quarterback.
Rodgers recently ended his spiritual retreat but has not disclosed whether he intends to retire, play for the Packers, or demand a trade. He has emphasized that he will not hold the franchise hostage with his decision, as he stated in the previous off-season. However, since leaving his mountain hideaway, he has only communicated with the GM via text message.
If Rodgers chooses to play in 2023, he is owed nearly $60 million in guaranteed money from the $150 million contract extension he signed last March. The New York Jets have expressed interest in trading for him if the Packers are willing to make a deal. However, the outcome rests on what the Packers desire in return.
