When Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers told the franchise that he wanted out right before the 2021 NFL Draft, it sent shockwaves throughout the league. The superstar quarterback and three-time MVP, who has been with the team since 2005, was apparently so disgruntled with the franchise that he did not even want to speak to anyone in the team. For a while, the general opinion around the league was that he would be traded.

However, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the relationship is much better now as the season begins. Rodgers appreciated the trade to bring back Randall Cobb, and the focus now is on winning the Super Bowl.

Regardless of this breakthrough, this could still be Rodgers' last season with Green Bay. Rodgers agreed that he'll play for the Packers this season, but then they'll see where things stand afterward, with a possible trade still on the table. It seems as if the Denver Broncos are still interested in trading for Rodgers, so they remain a top option for the future Hall of Famer if there's a deal.
