Aaron Rodgers on Sunday night spoke like a man who may have played his last snap for the Packers, but at least one future Hall of Famer does not think fans in Green Bay have anything to worry about.
Former Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Joe Thomas isn’t buying that Rodgers would actually force his way out of Green Bay. The way Thomas sees it, Rodgers was simply taking a shot at the Packers’ brass for trading up to draft a quarterback in the first round last year.
That certainly seems like the most likely outcome. While the Packers came up short with a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, both they and Rodgers still had an excellent season. The situation isn’t like when Tom Brady had no weapons around him in New England last year and the Patriots sputtered out in the first round of the playoffs.
Rodgers did not commit to returning to Green Bay in 2021, but he is under contract for three more seasons. There’s still a way he could force the Packers to part ways with him, but it seems unlikely that he will go that route.
