for the , or for anyone, in 2021. But another all-time great quarterback can't envision a scenario where the reigning MVP isn't on the field this fall. Appearing on Cincinnati Reds Jersey Network ahead of Monday night's Home Run Derby, impending Hall of Fame inductee said he " " Rodgers not playing this season, even though he doesn't nece sarily foresee one of his own former teams, the , acquiring the Packers star."Obviously it's the question of the summer here in Denver," Manning said from Coors Field, via NFL Network. "Obviously, I hope he plays somewhere this year. The fact that Aaron Rodgers might not play this year, I can't fathom it. He's too good of a player, too fun to watch for the fans. I personally hope it's Homer Bailey Jersey in Green Bay. That's what I see him as (and) I hope they can kinda make amends and work (it) out. That is team is so close, if he were to leave there it'd be a major change, obviously, for them."

My gut is Denver's gonna have or be their quarterback. At this point, you gotta kinda know what your plan is. You can't be having a new quarterback three Adam Duvall Jersey weeks before the season."Recent history has proven that teams are, in fact, willing to welcome a new quarterback right before, or even during, the season under unique circumstances. Think of the , who in 2011 acquired -- then coming off a third Pro Bowl -- in October; or the , who in 2016 traded a first- and fourth-round pick for le s than a week before their opening game. All it takes is the right offer for the right player, and the Broncos -- long established as a reported suitor for Rodgers -- a suredly wouldn't balk at the po sibility of adding No. 12 even if it means waiting until August or September. The bigger holdup, of course, remains Green Bay: Will the Packers ever listen to offers for their star QB, and if not, will Rodgers actually sit out (which Manning and plenty of others "can't fathom")? For now, only Rodgers knows what lies ahead, and he seems to Joe Morgan Jersey be keeping everyone on pins and needles.
