Now that the 2021 NFL season is over, a team is ready to go after Aaron Rodgers. According to USA Today’s Brendan Sugrue, new Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett “told team members that he’s pushing hard” to trade the quarterback from the Green Bay Packers. Other insiders believe the Broncos will add Rodgers since Hackett was Rodgers’ offensive coordinator for three years, according to Sports Illustrated.

Rodgers had another strong season with the Packers and was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player as a result. While attending the NFL awards ceremony last year, Rodgers was asked about his future. “I have to make some decisions for sure,” Rodgers told NFL Network’s Taylor Bisciotti, via Pro Football Talk. “Yesterday was like the first day that felt like the off-season… I’m going to enjoy the next two weeks. And, you know, I’ve had good conversations with Green Bay and I, you know, give it some thought and then make a decision here pretty quickly.”

In 2021, Rodgers threw for 4,115 yards, 37 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He led the Packers to an NFC-best 13-4 record. The Packers seemed poised to make it to the Super Bowl, but lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs.

“I’m still super competitive, I still know I can play at a high level, so it’s going to be a tough call,” Rodgers said after the match. “I have a lot of things to weigh in the next few weeks. But man, so much gratitude for this city and this organization and such a long career here that I’m proud of and so thankful for all the men and women.” who work here, the men I’ve come across, coaches and players over the years.”

Rodgers, a four-time MVP winner, would give the Broncos a much-needed boost. It would be similar to what the team did in 2012 when they added Peyton Manning to the roster. In Manning’s four seasons with the Broncos, he led the team to two Super Bowl appearances and won one of them. The Super Bowl victory in 2015 is the last time the Broncos made the playoffs.
