Perhaps the Denver Broncos most direct path back to the Super Bowl would be to acquire MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers. However, such an acquisition will not be easy.
Broncos GM George Paton will have to review John Elway’s notes on how he landed Hall-of-Fame quarterback Peyton Manning back in 2012. Paton faces an additional hurdle; the Packers do not want to part with the NFL s reigning MVP. Rodgers will have to compel the Packers to trade him, and so far, that final strong-arm move hasn t been made.
If Rodgers stands his ground and forces his way out of Green Bay, the cost to acquire him will be higher than the Rocky Mountains. Paton will likely have to surrender multiple first and second-round draft picks, as well as at least one high-quality starter.
