Aaron Rodgers has been very cryptic about his future with Green Bay, especially with his recent story referencing Michael Jordan and ‘The Last Dance.’

Rodgers and Davante Adams have been facing problems with the Packers front office with both of them suggesting strongly that they’d like to leave Green Bay.
Rodgers’ situation has been known all along as he’s been rumored to have been traded since near the start of the NFL offseason. Adams’ unhappiness is more recent as he and the Packers have been unable to work out a long term extension.

With all this keeping Packers fans down, they finally have something to be somewhat happy about. Rodgers has confirmed he’ll be back for at least next season, with Green Bay reworking a deal to keep him for the 2021-22 NFL season.

Packers President Mark Murphy Remains Optimistic Amidst Aaron Rodgers And Davante Adams’ Michael Jordan ‘The Last Dance’ Instagram Stories
Rodgers and Adams had never explicitly stated which they were leaning towards when it came to staying in Green Bay. Of course, there were comments that definitely more than hinted they were unhappy with the Packers, but there was never any ‘shots fired’ so as to speak.
That changed very quickly when just a few days ago the Packers duo posted something very cryptic on their Instagrams:

That had many fans questioning whether the duo had already decided that their time was up, or if (like ‘The Last Dance’), they’d gear up for one final run together before calling it quits on the Packers. Well, the latter seems to be the case, but it doesn’t seem like President Mark Murphy is too worried about the situation.
Of course, it’d be great for Rodgers if he could win five more Super Bowls to equal Jordan’s total, but firstly, that seems highly unlikely at this stage in his career, and secondly, even if he does, will all those rings be with the Packers?
The answer to the second question is looking like a definitive no. Rodgers apparently had the chance to become the highest paid player in the NFL, but he chose to reject that deal from Green Bay, instead focusing on a potential scenario where he leaves the team.
It definitely isn’t about the money, something Packers fans are surely heartbroken to find out. Rodgers has been the face of the franchise for the longest time, but it looks like it’s all coming to an end sooner rather than later.
