Aaron Rodgers ruins Packers fans’ night for no good reason
By Scott Rogust
There is a new update regarding where quarterback Aaron Rodgers will play in 2022. Well, it’s more of a non-update, if we are being completely honest.
The NFL world is waiting patiently for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to make his decision on where to play in 2022. The real question is if he will return to Green Bay for another season or decide a trade to another team would be in his best interest.
On Friday night, there was an update. And by update, we mean more of a non-update.
NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, Rodgers is “truly torn” on where he wants to play in 2022. Rapoport notes that while many believe that he will return to the Packers, Rodgers is going back and forth with his decision.
With all eyes on #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and his future, here is the latest: Sources say Rodgers is truly torn on where he wants to play in 2022. While many in the NFL expect him to return — there's lots of positivity in Green Bay — he is going back and forth on what he wants.

Packers: Aaron Rodgers reportedly ‘truly torn’ on where to play in 2022
Seeing the notification pop up, fans had to believe that Rapoport was breaking news that Rodgers finally made his decision. With the update that Rodgers is still making up his mind, some thought it was convenient timing that it took place during the NFL Combine.
Oh Rodgers "news" drops in the middle of the combine when no one is discussing him. Weird. https://t.co/e4KVD9K8tp

Speaking of the NFL Combine, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst revealed during his meeting with the media that there was no new update on Rodgers’ status for the 2022 season. Additionally, Gutekunst said that he has not received any new trade offers from teams.
Rodgers is coming off his second consecutive season holding the NFL MVP award after completing 68.9-percent of his passes for 4,115 yards, 37 touchdowns and four interceptions in 16 regular-season games in 2021.
For those of you expecting a decision from Rodgers, it has not happened yet. Nothing to see here, please disperse and enjoy your Friday night.
Update: During the NFL Combine on Friday night, Rapoport spoke further on his report, saying that Rodgers is going “back and forth.” Rich Eisen asked Rapoport where was the forth, to which he replied “it has always been the Denver Broncos.”
Re: Aaron Rodgers going “back and forth” …@richeisen: “The question is where’s the ‘forth’? We know where the ‘back’ would be, where would the ‘forth’ be?”

And just like that, Broncos fans are going to be up all night thinking about Rodgers potentially asking for a trade to Denver. Best thing to do is just wait for Rodgers to announce his decision himself. It will happen…eventually.
Next. Kirk Cousins basically just told the Vikings where to stick it ahead of free agency. dark
