Will Aaron Rodgers' 'Last Dance' season start tomorrow?
With veteran players reporting to training camp tomorrow, the biggest question of the offseason may finally be answered.
#Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has indicated to people close to him that he does plan to play for GB this season, sources say. That is the expectation. Many factors at play, but with GM Brian Gutekunst saying he is “hopeful” for a positive outcome, there is a glimmer of optimism.

Aaron Rodgers will play for the Packers this year unless something crazy happens. It was something we all knew. The way the Packers front office talked about the whole situation, we knew they weren't trading him. Since Rodgers couldn't force his way out of Green Bay this year, it seems like he's approaching this upcoming season like it's his "Last Dance".

It seems like Rodgers and his teammates know this is it. One last season with Green Bay. After that, Rodgers will choose his destination by going into free agency. That seems like the logical decision for both sides. Try to win a Super Bowl with this roster one last time.
It looks like Davante Adams is taking the same approach as Rodgers after it was reported he and the Packers are far away from an extension.
It’s not just Aaron Rodgers: The #Packers and star WR Davante Adams have broken off long-term extension talks. There are no current plans to resume them. The two sides have been negotiating for months, but they are now in a bad place, sources say. First the QB, now the No. 1 WR.

So one last ride for Rodgers in Green Bay. Will it end in a championship like it did with Jordan and the Bulls?
