The Green Bay Packers are “open to trading” Aaron Rodgers if the four-time MVP quarterback decides he wants to return to for his 19th season but play elsewhere during the 2023 season, according to Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
“If Rodgers comes to the team with a request to play his 19th season elsewhere, sources say the Packers are open to working with the four-time AP NFL MVP on a trade,” Pelissero and Rapoport reported on Sunday.
For now, the waiting game continues as Rodgers decides his future. But the ball is in the quarterback’s court: “The first move belongs to Rodgers,” per Pelissero and Rapoport.
This is the first legitimate reporting on the Packers’ willingness to trade Rodgers in the event he – or the team – doesn’t want the relationship to continue next season.
Teams have already reached out to the Packers on a trade but the team is waiting until Rodgers decides his future.
