However, Packers receiver Davante Adams and others need new contracts. Rodgers is being viewed as selfish by many in the media.
It doesn’t help that the Green Bay Packers are in salary cap turmoil.
Aaron Rodgers’ former teammate, Greg Jennings, appeared on First Things First on Friday. He called his former quarterback a “very selfish guy” and blasted him for not taking care of his contract before this offseason. Jennings said,
Jennings further questioned Aaron Rodgers for taking money from the players he wants the Packers to re-sign to play with. Jennings also questioned Rodgers’ priorities and whether he’s more concerned with winning or making money. Jennings added,
Aaron Rodgers will have to compromise to return to the Packers
Currently, the Packers have negative $37 million in cap space. With superstar wide receiver Davante Adams due for an extension, the Packers are in a tough spot.
For Aaron Rodgers to have interest in returning, the Packers will have to find a way to retain Adams. It’s hard to do when your quarterback wants almost a fourth of the entire team’s salary cap.
The Packers will have to figure out if they can keep Adams shortly, as Rodgers’ decision is likely to come soon, according to Russini.
Only Aaron Rodgers knows where his heart and mind are leaning at this time. But his desires contradict one another, and he’ll have to realize he must sacrifice some money if he wants to return to the Packers and be in Super Bowl contention in 2022.
