Good news: The Green Bay Packers after very much still the favorite in terms of where quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be playing football in 2021.
But unfortunately an outside chance that he moves on from Green Bay is located in the AFC East… with perhaps the toughest team to consider him playing for: The New England Patriots.
According to Odds Shark, the Patriots have a +950 look at landing Rodgers before next season. As mentioned, the Pack are still the frontrunner, but for reference, here’s a full breakdown of odds in regard to where Rodgers plays in 2021:
- Packers: -550
- 49ers: +800
- Saints: +850
- Patriots: +950
- Colts: +1000
- Steelers: +1200
- Raiders: +1200
Rodgers recently said on the Pat McAfee Show: “I don’t think that there’s any reason why I wouldn’t be back.”
But who really knows?
Originally Rodgers called his future “uncertain” immediately following his team’s loss to the Bucs in the NFC title game, but at this time, that seems like a comment made out of frustration of losing.
The Patriots being the only AFC East team to make a list of odds to land Rodgers is interesting in itself as well. The Miami Dolphins and New York Jets were the top-two teams in terms of odds for landing Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson when those were initially handed out.
But Rodgers? Not so fast.
With Bill Belichick likely looking for one last run to the Super Bowl without Tom Brady in town, that could be the idea behind the Pats potentially making a run at Rodgers.
The preferred option for the Bills would be not having to face Rodgers in their division… ever.
