Superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers (37) and the Green Bay Packers argue. Again!
Shortly before the draft, ESPN reported that last season’s most valuable player (MVP) no longer wants to play for the Packers. Rodgers is said to have even called for the dismissal of managing director Brian Gutekunst (47).
Rodgers is supposedly dissatisfied with the squad for a long time, wants to get better teammates and so again a Super Bowl!
The argument with Rodgers is an absolute nightmare for the Packers! Head coach Matt LaFleur (41): “I will do everything I can to ensure that Aaron comes back!” General Manager Gutekunst: “We will not trade Rodgers!”
Clear announcements. And even if most clubs have already snapped up quarterbacks in the Free Agency and / or recently at the draft, the rumor mill is simmering. The question is: can the Packers and Rodgers settle their dispute?
One thing is also clear: if there is even a small chance of getting a top quarterback like Rodgers, interested teams will try EVERYTHING! These NFL teams are considered possible targets for Rodgers:
► Denver Broncos: The 2016 Super Bowl winner has been one of the worst teams in the league in recent years. However, the team has many young, talented players. If he moved to Denver, Rodgers would meet the newly strengthened Los Angeles Chargers with quarterback Justin Herbert (23) and the Kansas City Chiefs with superstar Patrick Mahomes (25) four times per season. A simple game plan is different! American bookmakers still consider the Broncos to be the most likely team Rodgers could join.
► Las Vegas Raiders: Again, like Denver, Rodgers would face the Chiefs and Chargers in a difficult division. However, Raiders head coach Jon Gruden (57) would not hesitate for a second if he could replace his current and mediocre quarterback Derek Carr with Rodgers! The US bookmakers consider the Raiders to be the second most likely option for Rodgers to move.
► San Francisco 49ers: A dream would come true for many fans on the West Coast – Rodgers was born in Chico, California. The 49ers took on young quarterback Trey Lance (20) in the draft and Jimmy Garoppolo in the squad, who led the 49ers to the Super Bowl last year. Should Rodgers come, San Francisco would have to get rid of its injury-prone top earner Jimmy G (23 million euros per year) – which will be difficult!
Rodgers currently earns 28 million euros a year – only four NFL quarterbacks get more. If Rodgers were to forego money, the Green Bay Packers would have more cash to bring in more stars.
