Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst says the Packers have not heard of any potential trading team with Aaron Rodgers.
“Not at all,” Gutekunst said Tuesday. “Not at all. Not a single person.”
If this is true, it would be surprising, although it is possible for teams to wait until Rodgers publicly announces his intentions for the 2022 season. Rodgers has not said whether he wants to return to the Packers, play for another team or retire. .
But if Rodgers, the league’s two-time MVP, indicated he would like to play elsewhere, there would be a lot of interest in his services and Gutekunst would review offers for a number of selected players. It is also possible that Gutekunst will refuse to exchange Rodgers, even if this is what Rodgers wants, although adopting such a firm line may prompt Rodgers to retire, to leave until the Packers get nothing back for him.
Gutekunst said he hopes Rodgers will announce his intentions before the league’s new year begins on March 16.
“I hope so,” Gutekunst said. “This is obviously the beginning of a new year in the league. There are many decisions that need to be made beforehand, so this would be helpful. I think we’ll know something before that. “
All of Packers ‘other decisions out of season are currently in the background ahead of Rodgers’ decision.
“Once we understand the situation with Aaron, everything will follow,” Gutekunst said.
This situation should be understood within the next few weeks.
