Packers | Coach: Aaron Rodgers wanted

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has been the subject of rampant trade speculation since reports surfaced in late April that he wants out of Green Bay. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Friday, May 14, that there’s ‘nothing new to add’ about the situation. ‘We obviously still feel the same way,’ LaFleur added. ‘We want him back in the worst way. He knows that.’

Footballguys View: The Packers are trying their best to mend fences with Rodgers. There are rumblings that the team is working on a new contract that could make him the highest paid quarterback in the league. Jordan Love is not ready to take over as the team’s starter and Rodgers is still playing at an elite level. Expect the Packers to make the strongest push possible to see if Rodgers will want to stay. June 1st is when his cap hit is greatly reduced in a trade, so that’s a target date in this situation. Stay on the edge of your seat and stay tuned.
