When the news broke on Monday that finally confirmed that Aaron Rodgers will indeed be suiting up for the Green Bay Packers, many outlets heralded the news by declaring it “The Last Dance” for Rodgers as a Packer. Initial reading of the terms of the quarterback’s situation, a voiding of the final year of his contract in 2023 and a “review” of the circumstances after this year, indicate a separation may be coming next year.
It might seem obvious, but not so fast. A lot can change in the course of a year and indeed in a single football season.
