Following his acceptance for the 2021 season’s Most Valuable Player award, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers stated, “I have not made any decision yet” regarding his potential retirement or return to the Packers for 2022. It’s worth noting that the quarterback did thank team president Mark Murphy, general manager Brian Gutekunst and vice president Russ Ball early on in his acceptance speech, though, following an offseason of rumors that he was unhappy with the front office.
If you’re looking for an indication of if he could return to Green Bay, though, DraftKings recently updated their 2022/23 Super Bowl odds and released their opening odds for the 2022 NFC title race, which have the Packers listed at seventh and third, respectfully. Two weeks ago, we asked the sportsbook about Rodgers’ most-likely landing spots for next season and they told us that the Broncos, Buccaneers and Packers are a tier above their peers with a Rodgers retirement being very unlikely. Somehow, all three of those teams are in the top-10 in the books’ updated Super Bowl odds, despite the fact that the three teams collectively employ one quality quarterback.
The implied probability of DraftKings’ Super Bowl odds have the Packers bringing the Lombardi Trophy home 6 percent of the time and winning the NFC 13 percent of the time. One would assume, considering how high the Broncos and Buccaneers are ranked on these lists, that Green Bay’s chances to win either title would jump up significantly if the team can convince Rodgers to return for the 2022 season.
