I am truly sorry Green Bay Packers fans.
After all, you just spent a long five months or so wondering if Aaron Rodgers was going to report to training camp, force a trade out of Green Bay or even retire altogether. But with the veteran quarterback reporting to the start of training camp — confirmed in incredible fashion by the mother of Mike Renner of Pro Football Focus — that nightmare has drawn to an end.
But another one is beginning.

Meaning in all likelihood, the saga over where the QB will play next fall is just getting started. So what better time than the present to start the breathless speculation? What teams could be potential homes for Rodgers in 2022?
