Aaron Rodgers has told people close to him that he plans on playing in Green Bay this upcoming season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Packers general manager Gutekunst is "hopeful" for a positive outcome, per the report.
This is just the latest development in a standoff between Rodgers and team management. But this is the first positive development that has been reported during the offseason.
Rodgers turned down a contract extension that would have made him the highest-paid player in the NFL earlier this offseason, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
