We know now that Aaron Rodgers will definitely play this season with the Green Bay Packers, but the question remains where will the three-time MVP play in 2022?
One former teammate has an educated guess:
The New Orleans Saints.
Former NFL cornerback Will Blackmon, who played four seasons with Rodgers in Green Bay and maintains he has a good relationship with the quarterback, told TMZ Sports he believes Rodgers is headed to the Big Easy next.

“Next year, Aaron Rodgers will be a New Orleans Saint, if Jamies [Winston] doesn’t get it going,” he said.
The Saints are turning to the former No. 1 overall pick Winston to replace future Hall of Famer Drew Brees this year.
Should Winston struggle, though, the Saints could surely be in the market to look for another quarterback and Rodgers could indeed be that guy.
“Jameis is playing for his career this year,” Blackmon said. “He’s shown he is able to throw for 5,000 yards…he just threw too many damn picks. If he can throw 15 picks and still throw for 5,000…he can get it done. But, I can see Aaron Rodgers being a New Orleans Saint next year.”
