To make matters more interesting, ProFootballTalk reported that Rodgers could be traded by the weekend. Yes, Rodgers’ time with the Packers could be over by the end of the draft.
Source with knowledge of dynamics says Aaron Rodgers could indeed be traded this weekend. The question is where?

Key factors: Rodgers prefers West Coast. Packers will want him out of conference. Packers prefer handing baton to Jordan Love, so they don’t need a QB in return. Top candidates would seem to be Raiders and Broncos, if they’re interested. https://t.co/pJv8klC5m4

Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero pushed back on trade reports and added that the Packers appear to be sticking with Rodgers for the time being.
The #Packers remain committed to Aaron Rodgers. @TomPelissero said there is “zero” chance of trading him. It’s all about getting an extension done… and if that happens, this should take care of the matter (until next time). https://t.co/Lv56tHCC6M

In case you didn’t already expect a ton of chaos tonight during the NFL draft, I think it’s safe to say things just got cranked up to 100 with Rodgers and the Packers.
Just the other day, we had the Packers talking about how Rodgers was sticking around for the foreseeable future.
Now, he might be gone by the weekend. What world are we living in right now? There’s different info all over the place!
Aaron told Packers he doesn’t want to return as @AdamSchefter said and I think it’s more than a contract deal, I think he’s pretty strongly convicted that he doesn’t want to go back to Packers.
