Aaron Rodgers has specific destinations in place, if he chooses to leave the Packers
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Rodgers has specific deals lined up with other teams — and those teams have trade compensation lined up with the Packers. The potential moves have been arranged, essentially, with the permission of the Packers.
The destinations are believed to be exclusively in the AFC. To little surprise, the Broncos are one of them. Other viable possibilities are, we’re told, the Titans and Steelers.
To be clear, if Rodgers chooses Denver or Tennesseee or Pittsburgh, the deals will fall into place quickly, both as to the trade terms and as to the contract Rodgers would sign.
Thus, as we understand it, the current question isn’t simply Packers vs. Not the Packers. It’s Green Bay or Denver or Tennessee or Pittsburgh, with the final move hinging on whatever Rodgers decides to do.
Three weeks and one day ago, Rodgers said that he’d take a couple of weeks to contemplate his future, and that his decision would come pretty quickly. He’s now at the point where a decision soon needs to be made. He’s the first domino for the quarterback movement that will occur in the 2022 offseason. And he needs to decide whether he wants to stay with Green Bay in a division that, with him, the Packers can easily control, or whether he wants to jump to the AFC West with the Broncos, the AFC North with the Steelers, or the AFC South with the Titans.
The clock continues to tick. Rodgers continues to mull over his choices. Time (but not much) will tell what he decides.

“easily control”?
Does the author even know anything about football?
Division games are anything but “easy”

Of course not, it’s Florio… B)
Does rogers decision affect what the Vikings do with Kirk? If he stays in gbay, that likely puts them in the driver's seat for the north crown and makes the Vikings path to any success much more difficult ( easier to say see ya to kirk) how ever if rogers leaves, the north becomes free for the taking and a chance to claim a division crown in their first year may be to tempting to pass up. ( even if it would be in a much weakened division)

So what the green cheese idiots do is irrelevant.
HOWEVER...it sure would sting to find out Rodgers is going to Denver, the division is ours for the taking, and we find ourselves without a QB.

I agree - Division games are tough. Throw the records out the window type stuff. Its all the other games that Chi, Min, Det mess-up that makes these franchises pretty irrelevant from a national perspective.
I dont think Mr Rogers is going anywhere. GB will tag Adams too and thats pretty much that.
Aaron....buddy. On last year's US News & World Report on the Top 150 places to live, 4 of the top 5 were in Colorado. You like beer? Dump out the Schlitz, Denver is the craft brew capital of the world. Getting tired of the sub-zero temps and grey skies? Colorado gets 300 days of sunshine a year. Sure, we get our snow, but it's only to give us something to play on. Because in our back yard are dozens of the best ski mountains in the world. You like Mexican? Oh my, don't eat Mexican in the Midwest. In this part of the world, green chili is its own food group. You like skylines? Check out our skyline.....

You forgot about the legal weed. I'm thinking that might nudge things along.
If I were him, I’d go Denver or Titans. Denver has a great defense while the Titans are a good all around team. I wouldn’t go anywhere near that Steelers defense. They aren’t Vikings bad, but they’re not good.
He really can’t go back to GB and still have his buddy at WR. There’s no way they can do both without decimating they team.
I guess he and most people have a different opinion of whats considered a quick decision. Have buddies that are packers fans and when he said that I told them no way does he decide before the combine is up. Dude loves people talking about him…so predictable

Can't complain about the Packers' FO refusing to add help for Adams if he doesn't even have Adams anymore.He really can’t go back to GB and still have his buddy at WR.

Its a beautiful area, especially closer to the Rockies. My son adores it there. They just moved into a house they built and their upstairs master bedroom window has a few of the Flatirons as it faces west toward Boulder from Westminster (moved from Arvada). People don't realize how much sunshine they get in that state.
Aaron Rodgers gets Packers offer that would alter quarterback market: ESPNThe outlet cited an unnamed source.GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers have offered quarterback Aaron Rodgers a "significant long-term contact" that they hope will keep the MVP in Wisconsin, ESPN reports, citing a source.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes Monday that such an offer could alter the quarterback market. The offer could be a three to four year deal that would help the team's salary cap situation while also giving Rodgers "contractual clarity well into his 40s."

We still have not heard directly from Rodgers or the team whether or not he will stay with the Packers after more than 17 years, or move on to a new team. The Broncos are a potential contender, ESPN reports.
The Packers are more than $27 million over the salary cap just nine days before the start of the league year. ESPN notes the team was expected to offer Rodgers a deal during the off-season, aiming to get below that salary cap.
Rodgers previously said during his regular stop on the "Pac McAfee Show" that he would like to make the decision by the franchise tender deadline on Tuesday. That's when the team will need to decide whether or not to use the tag on star wide receiver Davante Adams, according to ESPN.
