In early 2008, the Packers told quarterback Brett Favre that they needed to know ASAP whether he’d be returning for another season. Favre chose to retire.
In early 2023, will the Packers send a similar message to Aaron Rodgers?
And it could be more than simply asking Rodgers if he’s willing to play. To get the most out of another season from Rodgers, the Packers need to know that he’s all in. That he’s willing to, for example, show up for the offseason program, in order to help the team’s receivers get more comfortable, more quickly.
