Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers still has two years left on his current deal, but he appears to want some sort of long-term commitment from the team.<\/p>\n
Rodgers has seen his close friend and go-to receiver, Jordy Nelson, be released. Not only that, quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt was also fired. So it now appears that he wants some insurance in return.<\/p>\n
He’s due to count for roughly $20.5 million toward the cap in 2018, which is no small number, but Rodgers also knows that the cap will go up soon, and he wants to cash in.<\/p>\n
