The Green Bay Packers are working on a restructured contract with Aaron Rodgers, according to a report today from NFL Network’s Mike Silver. In an appearance today, Silver said the Packers and Rodgers have been working on a deal, “but it’s a tricky situation because it will also reveal what they think about the future.”
The “tricky” part no doubt refers to the Packers’ exit plans from the Aaron Rodgers era, such as they are. Brian Gutekunst and the team made it clear they’re thinking about post-Rodgers life last spring when they selected Jordan Love in the first round, though Gutekunst has repeatedly been hesitant to put a timeline on things — and rightly so.
