The Green Bay Packers were unable to restructure quarterback Aaron Rodgers' contract before his roster bonus vested earlier this month.

Considering Green Bay could still use additional cap space and has made limited external moves, might a Rodgers restructure still be in order? Packers president Mark Murphy dodged multiple questions on that front Tuesday.

Murphy would not comment on why the Packers have yet to restructure or extend Rodgers' deal with the team despite creating cap room by altering other deals:

“I can’t really get into specific players,” Murphy said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN. “We’ve been able to create room with others.”

Murphy also avoided the subject of Rodgers' future in Green Bay when asked why the Packers would not want to do a restructure to secure that future:

“Yeah, I’m not going to get [into] the specifics again,” Murphy said, via Demovsky. “Good try, though.”

These words offer a stark contrast from what Murphy had to say about Rodgers earlier this offseason. Demovsky notes a radio interview Murphy did earlier this season in which he stated there was “no way in heck” Rodgers would not be in Green Bay for the foreseeable future.

However, Packers fans suddenly have reason to be far more skeptical.

Demovsky previously reported league sources have indicated Rodgers wants “assurances” he will not be a “lame-duck” quarterback in 2021. Green Bay does not appear willing to provide said assurances, at least not at this juncture.

It is pretty puzzling as to why the Packers would not spread out Rodgers' money and tack on the years considering he is coming off an MVP season. Then again, Green Bay's surprising first-round selection of Jordan Love last April could loom large.
