The Green Bay Packers (and many other NFL teams) are waiting for quarterback Aaron Rodgers to make a decision on his future. The 38-year-old veteran seems to be weighing the options of either (1) staying in Green Bay, (2) asking for a trade or (3) retiring.
Rodgers is expected to make his decision soon, perhaps as early as this week. If the QB ends up asking for a trade, the Denver Broncos like their chances of landing the four-time NFL MVP, according to a report from NFL Network’s James Palmer.
“They’re in a holding pattern as they wait — and the rest of the NFL does — to see what Aaron Rodgers is going to do,” Palmer said of the Broncos during a recent appearance on NFLN. “Because they do believe, if he decides that he wants to play elsewhere, they think they have a very good shot at landing Aaron Rodgers.”
Palmer noted that Rodgers’ relationship with Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett would obviously help Denver’s chances. Hackett served as Green Bay’s offensive coordinator from 2019-2021.
If the Broncos do not land Rodgers or another big-name veteran this offseason, Drew Lock will presumably get a chance to compete for the starting job this offseason.
Denver has the draft capital and salary cap space required to make a splash, though, so QB will be a position to watch in the coming weeks.
