The Packers are reportedly working on a deal to keep Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. According to Ian Rapoport, the team is working on a short-term deal for Rodgers, should he decide to stay with the team.
Per Rapoport’s report, the deal would make Rodgers the highest-paid player in the NFL, on a per-year basis. Of course, Rodgers could still decide to retire, or request a trade. Rodgers hasn’t made his intentions known yet, but last week Dianna Russini reported that a decision is coming soon.
As things currently stand, the Packers are nearly $29 million over the cap, according to Spotrac.
