Packers offer Aaron Rodgers record extension

Time is running out for Packers who have less than 24 hours to use their franchise tag on Davante Adams. It would certainly help the reigning NFC North champions if the two-time reigning MVP gave them a definitive answer on their plans for 2022. Aaron Rogers said he intends to do so by Tuesday and the Packers are paying more attention to the future Hall of Famer.

USATSI 15479128Rodgers was thought to have given up on the decision to stay in Green Bay and has now received an offer from ESPN.com’s Jeremy Fowler that ESPN.com reports will reset the quarterback market. The specificity is light, but the price will be higher Patrick MahomesContract for 45 million dollars a year. While Rogers has denied the report that he is seeking a $50 million deal with AAV, Fowler’s report on the market-changing renewal appears to be in line with that previous situational assessment.

A three- or four-year deal will help the Packers with their cap. They are currently over $27 million; the Adams tag would be worth $18.4 million. Even though teams have until next week to get out of the cap, the Packers are cutting it down with their top two players. Rogers is pegged to a maximum of $46.1 million in 2022, second only to Matt Ryanan NFL-record $48.7 million. If Rogers announces that he wants to stay, it will mean that the cap amount will be drastically reduced. His current $33.5 million a year contract expires after the 2022 season.

Rumor has it that Green Bay is offering Rodgers a monstrous expansion, and Fowler points out that VP of Football Operations Russ Ball negotiating with Rogers’ agent. This came after an offseason in which Rodgers, amid a feud with GM Brian Gutekunst and team president Mark Murphy, requested an exchange. After Rogers’ fourth-season MVP (second-best all-time), the Packers would have preferred him to stay. Until they plan to take calls Jordan LoveRogers’ extension would presumably change this.

Rogers does not accept such a lock. Other teams will also be willing to pay. One loom in Denver. The Broncos remain in business, and Fowler added that they are willing to exchange the necessary project capital to get Rogers. It’s believed the Steelers were interested in a trade for Rodgers, but Fowler adds that the Packers set the price so high — one that includes key young players as well as draft picks — that it would be difficult for teams to realize such an offer.

While the Steelers are in urgent need of a quarterback, the Broncos have been desperate for a quarterback here ever since Peyton Manningretired six years ago. Rodgers joining Denver, like Manning’s move 10 years ago, would have propelled the team into Super Bowl contenders. The Broncos have $39.4 million in equity and Pro Football Talk recently reported that they have a trade package ready. The Broncos were linked to Rogers for almost a year when they appeared on his original destinations list in April 2021. Although Rodgers does not have a no-trade clause, it is unlikely that the team would trade him without knowing if he would go. I’ll write as I go.
