Aaron Rodgers reportedly doesn’t want to return to Packers in 2021

Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers has told some within the Packers organization he does not want to return to the team next season. That’s according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. 

President Mark Murphy, general manager Brian Gutekunst and coach Matt LaFleur are aware of Rodgers’s sentiment.

“As we’ve stated since the season ended, we are committed to Aaron in 2021 and beyond,” Gutekunst told ESPN on Thursday. “Aaron has been a vital part of our success, and we look forward to competing for another championship with him leading our team.”

On Wednesday, the 49ers reached out to the Packers about acquiring Aaron Rodgers, but no formal offer was made, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. One of Pelissero’s sources says there is a “zero percent chance” Green Bay trades its franchise quarterback.

In last year’s draft, the Packers traded the No. 30 pick and a fourth-round pick to the Dolphins for the 26th pick and selected quarterback Jordan Love. In doing so Love became the first offensive player drafted by Green Bay in the first round since 2005.
