Aaron Rodgers is once again the biggest story of the NFL offseason.
-
Former Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett is the new head coach of the Broncos.

Rodgers joked in 2020 that he could see a future where he and Hackett team up outside of Green Bay.
Aaron Rodgers could be on the move After 17 seasons spent with the Green Bay Packers.
Rodgers teased a departure last offseason before eventually returning to the Packers and putting up another MVP season. However, after Green Bay came up short in the playoffs, the NFL world is once again wondering if Rodgers might finally be ready to try something new.
After Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett was named the next head coach of the Broncos this week, speculation swirled that Rodgers could soon follow him to Denver.
A 2020 quote from Rodgers makes his potential jump to the Broncos even more enticing.
While Rodgers’ words were a bit light-hearted, now that a jump to team up with Hackett in a new city is actually on the table, it’s hard to ignore.
Rodgers has a good relationship with Hackett. If he left Green Bay to join the Broncos, he’d have the security of a familiar face running the show.
Further, the Broncos offer an ideal destination for Rodgers even beyond hiring their new head coach. Denver sports one of the best defenses in the league and a roster of young, talented wide receivers just waiting to have their potential unlocked.
There’s no guarantee that Rodgers will ultimately decide to leave the Packers, and Green Bay would undoubtedly love to have their MVP quarterback on the roster for another year. If Rodgers does choose to leave the Packers, there are other destinations could woo him their way, most notably, the Pittsburgh Steelers, who also have a win-now roster and a head coach Rodgers has said he admires.
Still, Hackett’s move to the Broncos makes Denver quite an appealing landing spot. The rest is up to Rodgers.
