“They’re disgusted” - Packers insider claims team feels a sense of urgency to move on from Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers is taking the scenic route on deciding whether to don shoulder pads and jersey for another year. But the Green Bay Packers may have already decided that No. 12 won't be doing so for them.
At least, that is what veteran beat writer and insider Bob McGinn said on the "Go Long" podcast via CBS Sports. Here's how he put it:
"They are done with Rodgers. He's not coming back. I mean, they're disgusted with him, and they're done with him. And they're moving on... They think [Jordan Love's] the second coming now."
If the team does indeed move on, No. 12's final moving image in pads with the team was with an arm around Randall Cobb through the Lambeau tunnel. It was almost an entirely lost season for the franchise as the quarterback started 3-1 before hitting a wall.
Will the Packers reach the playoffs in 2023?
The team dropped to 4-8 and most had essentially written off the team's chances. However, when Week 18 rolled around, the team was facing a win-and-in scenario against the Detroit Lions. Instead of completing the final lap of the comeback, Green Bay fell short as the quarterback threw a game-ending interception.
What Aaron Rodgers does here should be impossible...

Can Aaron Rodgers' play for Las Vegas Raiders in 2023?
Many blamed the team's newfound struggles as a result of the loss of Davante Adams. The 30-year-old was traded seemingly moments after No.12 revealed he would be returning in 2022. However, beyond that, some further blamed the quarterback's inability to trust his younger receivers, while others blamed the receivers themselves.

Either way, as the 2023 offseason begins to take shape, fans are talking more about the quarterback's future with the New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders. Both teams appear to be looking for their future at the position.
Adams has already declared that he wants No. 12 back on his side in Las Vegas. The question is whether the quarterback, if he is traded, wants to join him in return.
