Denver Broncos: The Aaron Rodgers speculation will continue even after this season

The Denver Broncos were unable to swing a trade for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, likely because the Packers just weren’t willing to trade him at all.

Rodgers did report to training camp and will apparently suit up for the team, but if you watched the press conference (video) he had during camp, it’s quite clear that the relationship between he and the organization is quite fractured.

It seems as though Rodgers agreed to give the Packers one more year of himself in an effort to make a run at winning the Super Bowl. After this season, it is likely that Rodgers will be done there and the organization will be happy to move on to Jordan Love, who was taken with a first-round pick last year.

If Rodgers does leave following this season, the Broncos are still seen as the ideal situation for him, at least according to renowned football writer Peter King, who called the Broncos the “perfect” team for Rodgers in his latest column on Football Morning in America.

This has been talked about all offseason, the Broncos are a great fit. There are young weapons all over the place and Rodgers would come in and make each of them better. He would have the Broncos as a Super Bowl contender, even at 38 years old, which he will be in December.

The Packers voided the final year of his contract, so barring a major change in feelings, this will be it for Rodgers in Green Bay. Of course, he could walk away from the game following the season (he hinted in that press conference to have already given that some thought), but if he doesn’t, teams will be lining up to sign him.

Would the Broncos bring in Rodgers if Drew Lock or Teddy Bridgewater has a great year?

Regardless of what happens in Denver this season at the quarterback position, this will be a situation the front office likely keeps very close tabs on. It’s unknown if the Broncos made an offer to trade for Rodgers,  but his name was linked to the Broncos from the moment reports came out that he wanted out of Green Bay.

At 38 years old and with all of the perceived “antics” that Rodgers has pulled in this dramatic situation, there may be many fans that don’t want to see him in orange and blue. But in the NFL, the main thing that matters is wins and losses.

If Rodgers does leave Green Bay, the odds of him finishing his career in Denver are fairly good.
