NFL teams looking for a veteran quarterback this offseason could potentially get closer to the Green Bay Packers, But according to an NFL insider, any deal that includes four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers would come at a steep price.
After failing to make the playoffs, Rogers made it clear that he was undecided about his future with the team.

«Because of the way his contract is structured, a trade is possible. You could do it financially. You could come up with compensation. I think Green Bay likes what they have in Jordan Love. So if they got the right package, I think they could make a deal: it would be $60 million for one season, someone would pay him. That’s what it’s on the books for, cash, next year.»
Rapoport also noted that the deal would likely include a first-round draft pick and «probably more» as well.
