Packers GM Gutekunst: ‘Goals don’t change’ without Rodgers

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 01:22:48 GMT

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst disputes the idea that trading four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers means starting a rebuilding project.“The goals don’t change around here,” Gutekunst said Monday while confirming a trade sending Rodgers to the New York Jets should be finalized this week. “It’s going to be the same goals we’ve always had, right? There’s one goal here every single year, no matter what.”That goal has been a realistic one for the Packers for the past three decades because they had Hall of Fame-caliber quarterback production most of those seasons, first with Brett Favre and later with Rodgers.Favre and Rodgers combined to win seven MVP awards. Each brought a Super Bowl title to Green Bay. Now their Packers tenures end the same way, with a trade to the Jets.Although Gutekunst said Monday that the trade hasn’t been finalized, he expects it to be done in the next couple of days. A person familiar with the situation said the Jets w...
