Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are on the clock when it comes to his status for the upcoming 2021 NFL season. With training camp right around the corner, the two sides have remained silent about their future. The franchise has made it clear that they have no interest in trading Rodgers, but the reigning NFL MVP has not commented directly on the situation yet.
Despite all of the drama going on in Green Bay, the Packers feel confident that they will be just fine. Many seem to believe that Rodgers will end up reporting to begin training camp or at least some point before Week 1.
Last season with the Packers, Rodgers put together arguably the best year of his illustrious NFL career. He completed 70.7 percent of his pass attempts for 4,299 yards, 48 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Rodgers also picked up 149 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.
Fans are hoping to see good news on the Rodgers situation very soon. The star quarterback did renew his membership at a Green Bay country club, which is a good sign that he could return. However, there is nothing concrete about his return to the Packers.
All of that being said, let’s go ahead and take a look at three bold predictions for Aaron Rodgers in 2021.
3. Aaron Rodgers Returns By Week 1 And Plays A Full Season
Let’s get the first bold prediction out of the way. Rodgers is going to come back for another season with the Packers. He may try to get out of town next offseason again, but he will play this year in Green Bay.
Rodgers will return at some point before Week 1 and will play the full season. It just doesn’t make any sense for him to sit out a whole year. Returning to a team that he can compete for a Super Bowl with would be the right move.
The freakout in Green Bay is completely understandable, but there is a very slim chance that Rodgers would be willing to sit out a season of playing the game he loves in his prime.
2. He Will Be In The MVP Conversation Once Again
When Aaron Rodgers is angry, he is nearly unstoppable. That was seen last season with another MVP campaign. This year, he will put up similar numbers and will force his way into the MVP conversation once again.
Rodgers will have a ton of talent to work with during the 2021 season. Davante Adams is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL right now and the Packers also have Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard, Devin Funchess, and Amari Rodgers. Green Bay also has Aaron Jones back and AJ Dillon in the backfield.
Green Bay’s offense will be lethal once again this season and Rodgers will be powering it. He will be at least a top-three quarterback for the Packers in 2021.
1. The Packers Finally Make The Leap Into The Super Bowl
Finally, the elusive win in the NFC Championship Game has frustrated Aaron Rodgers and the Packers over the last two years. They have lost to the San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But, this is a new season and they will finally get over the hump and into the big game.
All of the offseason drama that fans have had to go through will be worth it. This Packers team is good, and they are going to go out and prove it each and every week this season.
Rodgers will once again be the engine behind the Packers’ train. He may have some differences with the front office, but he still loves his teammates and his teammates have been vocal about their support for him. Green Bay will hit the ground running and will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl this season.
