The NFL world is hanging on Aaron Rodgers’ every word as the four-time MVP contemplates his football future. 

Rodgers has made it clear he is undecided on what comes next, whether he will return to the Green Bay Packers for his 19th season, ask for a trade, or retire as one of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game.

Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst spoke to reporters on Tuesday at the NFL Combine, saying he’s hopeful the two sides are able to come to a decision on Rodgers’ future before the start of free agency, which will kick off on March 15.
