Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers caused quite a stir when he spoke of an uncertain future following Sunday's NFC Championship loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

However, Rodgers cleared the air a bit Tuesday on the “Pat McAfee Show.”

The presumptive NFL MVP said he expects to be back in Green Bay next season, though he did acknowledge just about anything can happen in the business of sports:

“I don't think there is any reason why I wouldn't be back,” Rodgers said, via ESPN's Adam Schefter. “But look, there's not many absolutes, as you guys know, in this business.”

A longer clip can be seen below, in which Rodgers iterates he did not really say anything out of the ordinary.

If Rodgers says he expects to be back next season, he is almost certainly going to be welcomed back into the fold.

For starters, the two-time MVP is coming off one of the best seasons of his career, having led the NFL in passing touchdowns (48), completion percentage (70.7) and total QBR (84.3). Perhaps more consequently, the Packers have almost no path to moving him without incurring massive dead-cap penalties.

Green Bay would have to pay over $31 million against the dead cap if it chose to trade Rodgers before June 1, per Over The Cap. Considering the Packers would barely save $5 million in a normal cap, it is hardly worth it to move A-Rod his offseason.

The best solution might be to restructure Rodgers' contract, which would also likely allow the Packers more immediate flexibility to improve upon this year's roster.
