If Aaron Rodgers does decide to return to the Green Bay Packers next season, his offensive coaching staff will have a much different look to it.

While the news of Packers' Offensive Coordinator Nathaniel Hacket heading to Denver (first reported by Vic Chokshi) has now been confirmed and announced by the Broncos, there's new reports indicating another offensive coach close to Rodgers could be joining forces with a division rival.

Via Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Packers quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Luke Getsy has an offer to join new Bears head coach Matt Eberflus to be his offensive coordinator.

Will Aaron Rodgers Still Consider Returning to Green Bay?

With the Broncos consistently at the top of the rumor mill for Aaron Rodgers' likely next destination, is it still conceivable that he could still return, let alone want to?

Following the debacle of taking Rodgers off the field in the 2021 NFC Championship down eight points and settling for a field goal against the Buccaneers, Rodgers and his head coach appear to be back on solid ground.

There's also the issue of personnel. Rodgers told the Pat McAfee Show that a large portion of his decision would come down to what happens with fellow receiver Davante Adams who's set to become a free agent. Green Bay is also almost $45 million over the cap.

Getsy and Hackett (along with head coach Matt LaFleur) were the key coaches behind Aaron Rodgers' likely back-to-back MVP season in Green Bay. The 37-year old quarterback finished tied for fourth with 37 touchdowns, but had the league's best touchdown to interception ratio with just four picks. The Packers finished at 13-4 with the league's best record and a first round bye, but fell to the No. 6 seeded San Francisco 49ers in the postseason.

While it's impossible to rule out a return, Denver Broncos' futures bets at WynnBET will likely be very much in demand once the offseason kicks off.
