PALM BEACH, Fla. – Beyond the competitive ramifications, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst understood what re-signing Aaron Rodgers could mean for the franchise’s legacy with its future Hall of Fame quarterback.
Even if the four-year, $200 million contract Rodgers signed earlier this month is designed on a year-to-year structure, with guaranteed money spread into the future dependent on him playing, the Packers hope their future Hall of Fame quarterback retires playing only for them.
“We’d certainly like to,” Gutekunst said Monday at the NFL owners meetings when asked if he believes Rodgers will retire with the Packers.
