GREEN BAY — Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers does plan to play in Green Bay this season and is close to a new agreement with the team, according to reports on Monday.
Ian Rapoport first reported that sources close to the MVP said he does plan to play for the Packers this season and that many factors are still at play.
According to ESPN senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter, the team is offering concessions to Rodgers, and is "close to an agreement that would bring Aaron Rodgers back to Green Bay for at least this season," citing sources.
Schefter says the new agreement "would help set up Aaron Rodgers’ departure from Green Bay after this season."
The ESPN insider continues that the 2023 year in Rodgers’ contract would be voided in the agreement, "with no tags allowed in the future," according to sources.
According to the Associated Press, Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy said he’s optimistic Rodgers will play for the team this season.
Murphy said Rodgers hasn’t told him about his plans.
The Packers hold their first training camp workout this Wednesday.
Murphy said there is no scenario in which the team would trade Rodgers, according to the AP.
