Well, Rodgers might want out, but the Packers aren’t looking to deal him. According to Ian Rapoport, the team “hasn’t engaged” in trade talks ” despite a few teams calling about trading for” the defending NFL MVP.
An update on the #Packers that’s not really an update: Green Bay hasn’t engaged at all despite a few teams calling about trading for Aaron Rodgers. The #Packers have no plans to trade him. So, nothing has changed.

While the team might not be engaging in trade talks for Aaron Rodgers, I have to believe the clock is ticking on the QB’s time with the Packers.
We’ve heard nonstop speculation about if Rodgers wants out or not ever since the Packers lost in the playoffs, but the situation finally looks like it’s reached a boiling point.
Aaron told Packers he doesn’t want to return as @AdamSchefter said and I think it’s more than a contract deal, I think he’s pretty strongly convicted that he doesn’t want to go back to Packers.

If I had to bet $100 on what happens, I’d bet that the best case scenario for fans is Rodgers has one season in Green Bay left in him. The worst case scenario is that he’s played his final snap for the Packers, and I think there’s a very real chance that might be the case.
With the #Packers and QB Aaron Rodgers at odds in a very public way, Green Bay takes a CB. Obviously. #Georgia CB Eric Stokes.
