The Green Bay Packers have reportedly made a sizable offer for Aaron Rodgers, ESPN reports.
The terms of the agreement are not cast in stone yet, but they would be spread over three or four years to help Green Bay better manage its payroll, while the 38-year-old quarterback would have peace of mind contractually at over 40 years old.
GB exceeds the salary cap by more than $27 million, just nine days before the start of the new year.
There is one year left in Rodgers’ contract, which counts for $46.1 million on the mass, but an extension would soften its impact.
The Broncos are also reportedly trying to lure the NFL’s MVP to Denver for the past two seasons.
Rodgers is reportedly still considering his options, but is expected to announce his decision soon. He has already hinted at Pat McAfee Show that he would like to be plugged in by Tuesday, the deadline to select who will receive the concession player tag. The Packers must also determine if they will give it to star receiver Davante Adams.
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said last week that Green Bay hasn’t received a trade request for Rodgers, not even one.
Also according to ESPN, the Packers are asking so much in terms of compensation, that is to say high draft picks and young impact players, that a trade risks being too demanding for the team seeking to acquire it.
