The Green Bay Packers could be getting an answer to their biggest offseason question — Aaron Rodgers — in the next few days.
According to NFL insider Mike Silver, Rodgers is “likely” to inform the Packers whether he wants to return for next season by the afternoon of Tuesday, March 8, which is also when the league’s deadline is set for teams to place franchise tags on eligible players.
While Rodgers doesn’t fall into that category, the tag deadline could play an important role in his decision-making process. The Packers are currently weighing whether to use the tag on All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams, who is a close friend of Rodgers and has been his top passing target for years. Adams staying in Green Bay could help incentivize Rodgers, but his departure might also add another reason to leave.
