The Green Bay Packers are prepared to go all-in to convince Aaron Rodgers to remain with the franchise next season. The Packers will spend as close to the cap this season spread it into future years, mirror an approach used by the New Orleans Saints before Drew Brees retired.

Rodgers said Thursday that the animosity he felt toward the organization at this time last year is gone.

Rodgers has one year remaining on his contract with the Packers, who are facing significant salary-cap problems this offseason. The Packers are currently $48,910,955 over their projected cap for the 2022 season, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. Nine teams are over the cap, but only the Saints are worse off at $74,174,019 over their cap.
