The Green Bay Packers remain committed to the decision not to trade future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers, while Rodgers is still conflicted with the organization.
Columnist Matt Schneidman of The Athletic points out there are some big money reasons for the team to trade Rodgers if it decides he’s not going to change his mind.
Starting today (June 1st), the Packers could avoid a $38-million cap hit by sending him somewhere else, which could be spread over two years.
Rodgers has already lost hundreds of thousands of dollars by vacationing in Hawaii instead of earning his workout bonus.
At his pay level, that bonus likely isn’t a big consideration.
