Packers GM Makes Clear Statement About Aaron Rodgers’ Future

After losing to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, the Green Bay Packers fell short of the postseason for just the third time since 2008.

As a result of the team’s disappointing, 8-9 campaign, speculation has swirled that star quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ time with the franchise has come to an end. Rodgers himself was noncommittal about the 2023 season when he spoke with reporters after the game, saying “I want to take the emotion out of it and have conversations and see where the organization is, and see how I feel after some time has passed.”

Meeting with the media on Friday to wrap up the season, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst was much more clear about the situation.

While he said the team is going to give Rodgers “some space” to make his decision, he said that as long as Rodgers wants to keep playing, the team wants him back.

“Like I said in the bye, I want all these guys back,” Gutekunst said, according to Matt Scheidman of the Athletic.
