The NFL Combine isn’t an exact analog to baseball’s winter meetings (hey, remember those), but it’s close enough. With enough decision-makers in one spot, business is bound to get done, and the Packers appear to be no exception. The team reportedly has a short-term deal in the works should Aaron Rodgers decide to return for 2022 and beyond.
Whether or not that’s a good idea is and will be a subject of some debate, but if anything can be said of the Packers, it’s this: they’ve never rested on their laurels. The very earliest reports of Rodgers’ discontent last year included details about Mark Murphy, Brian Gutekunst, and Matt LaFleur courting Rodgers in person, and the team has proactively sought solutions to address his concerns.
