Packers GM Reveals Potential Decision Timeline For Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers, you’re on the clock.

During his NFL Scouting Combine press conference, Green Bay Packers GM Brian Gutekunst told reporters he thinks he’ll get an answer from Aaron Rodgers before free agency opens on Mar. 16th.

That’s about two weeks away.

“I would hope so, yeah,” Gutekunst said, via ESPN.com. “That’s obviously the start of the new league year. There’s a lot of decisions that have to be made before that. So that would be helpful. I would think we would know something before then.”

Aaron Rodgers is expected to return to the Packers.

Jeff Darlington appeared on SportsCenter earlier in the week and said Rodgers is leaning towards returning.

“Based on all of my conversations over the last several weeks, whether it’s close to the Packers organization or people close to Rodgers, this still feel like the momentum is decisively leaning toward Aaron Rodgers returning to Green Bay,” Darlington said.

“This goes back to the day that they hired Tom Clements as the quarterbacks coach. That was the big one here. That was the first shoe to drop, essentially saying the Packers are going to do the things that Aaron Rodgers wants to happen.”

Hopefully Rodgers will put an end to this soon.

In the meantime we can all continue to speculate. Two weeks can’t come soon enough.
