Aaron Rodgers’ ‘uncertain’ future hangs over Green Bay

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers said he’s not sure what his future holds in Green Bay. After the Packers’ fourth NFC title game loss in seven seasons, Rodgers said “a lot of guys’ futures are uncertain, myself included.” Rodgers has three years remaining on the four-year, $118 million extension he signed in August 2018, but the two-time MVP has acknowledged on multiple occasions that his hopes of finishing his career in Green Bay were complicated by the Packers’ decision to select Utah State quarterback Jordan Love in the 2020 draft. “That’s obviously not to say something couldn’t happen, but up to this point it’s kind of been complimentary but nothing of substance.” MISSING BAKHTIARI The Packers boasted one of the league’s top offensive lines this season thanks in part to All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari, who suffered a season-ending knee injury on Dec. 31. NO GOLD RUSH THIS TIME Green Bay had the NFL’s best red-zone offense this season, though the Packers referred to it as the “gold zone” due to offensive coordinator Nathanial Hackett’s love of the movie “Austin Powers in Goldmember.” That magic was missing Sunday as the Packers twice settled for field goals after having first-and-goal. So we’ve got to be able to bottle that up and keep moving forward.” STAFF DECISIONS Packers coach Matt LaFleur is 26-6 in his two seasons, and despite questions about his late-game decisions against Tampa Bay, he remains one of the bright young minds in the NFL and isn’t going anywhere.
