The Green Bay Packers have made a significant long-term contract offer to Aaron Rodgers that would alter the quarterback market, according to ESPN.
Terms of a potential new contract could always change, but a three- or four-year deal would help Green Bay's salary-cap situation while giving Rodgers, 38, contractual clarity well into his 40s.
BetOnline has been offering odds on where Rodgers would be playing in Week 1 of the 2022 season since early January with Denver the favorite at +250 odds followed by the Steelers at +350 and Dolphins at +450. The odds are for teams other than Green Bay.
The Broncos are reportedly willing to compete to acquire him either through a new contract or draft-pick compensation.
Rodgers had previously hinted on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he would like to make his decision by the franchise tender deadline Tuesday, when the Packers need to decide whether to use the tag on star wide receiver Davante Adams.
One source stressed to ESPN that the Packers would want so much in compensation -- top draft picks and key young players -- that a trade could be difficult for the team acquiring Rodgers to execute.
