2/ and those close to him that he wasn't coming back to GB.

At this moment I believe that Rodgers won't play for the Packers in 2021 based on conversations I've had.
Rodgers does NOT have a no-trade clause and the deal would have to be executed post

10/ June 1st to mitigate cap issues with GB should any hypothetical deal be agreed to.
