Packers: 3 reasons why Aaron Rodgers should stay in Green Bay

3. There’s still a chance to finish career in Green Bay

Aaron Rodgers loves Green Bay. He’s made that clear on many occasions over the years and repeated it during his interview with ESPN’s Kenny Mayne earlier this week.

And while he’s understandably questioned whether he’d be able to finish his career with the Packers ever since the team selected Jordan Love in the first round, it’s still very much a possibility. Putting together a third MVP season in 2020 made it difficult for the Packers to move on.

For Rodgers to return, he might want long-term commitment with a new contract.

Well, it sure seems like Green Bay is willing to give him what he wants. According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel at the end of last month, the Packers had offered Rodgers a new deal and more commitment. If they can come to an agreement that gives Rodgers long-term security with the Packers, he’d have the opportunity to play the rest of his career with the team that drafted him.

And as long as Rodgers is playing at an MVP level, how could the Packers ever move on from him? Like last season, the way to ensure he remains QB1 is to simply outplay any other quarterback on the roster.

If Rodgers gets a contract extension, he could get to finish his career in Green Bay.
