After the Green Bay playoff run ended with a one-and-out home loss to the 49ers, quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he’d make a decision before free agency. Twenty-six days ago, Rodgers said plans to “enjoy the next couple weeks and, you know, I’ve had good conversations with Green Bay and I’ll, you know, do some contemplating and then make a decision here pretty quick.”
“Pretty quick” should have been here by now. Officially, free agency starts in only 10 days. Unofficially, it starts in eight days. Even more unofficially, it’s already happening with the usual conversations that constitute tampering, but that the league office routinely ignores.
