Green Bay Packers optimistic Aaron Rodgers will return in 2021

Green Bay Packers president/CEO Mark Murphy remains hopeful quarterback Aaron Rodgers will play for them this season, but says he doesn’t know whether the three-time MVP will arrive for the start of training camp.

“We’ve been in constant communication,” Murphy said Monday after the NFL’s only publicly owned team held its annual shareholders meeting. “It’s been obviously months. I’m hopeful that we can have it all resolved.”

Murphy’s comments followed an NFL Network report that Rodgers has indicated to people close to him he does plan to play for the Packers this season. ESPN later reported that Rodgers and the Packers were close to an agreement that would include voiding the 2023 season from his contract.
