Are you under the impression that Rodgers is a FA next year? It doesn't look like he is. Check this out: [

From that link:
Rodgers restructured his contract in 2021 converting $14.46 million of his salary into a signing bonus. In addition the Packers voided the 2023 year of the contract. The move creates about $10 million in 2021 cap space. Rodgers contract will now void seven days prior to the start of the 2023 league year.My understanding - and I could be wrong - is that the Packers agreed to move Rodgers next year in exchange for voiding the 2023 year and then moving him net season. But I always though 'moving him' meant trading him, not releasing him. Maybe i got that all wrong, though ...

The way things are currently set up, Aaron Rodgers would have full control over where he plays…in 2023. That would be his age 40 season. As Tom Brady has shown us, it’s not impossible to think that Rodgers could still play at an MVP level for another three or four years at that point.
Rodgers remains under contract in 2022 and the Packers will obviously have no obligation to trade him, regardless of his demands. As we found out in the 2021 offseason, the threat of retirement and skipping OTAs didn’t exactly cause the front office to budge.
...
If Aaron Rodgers is traded, it will undoubtedly be a historic move for the Packers in terms of what they would acquire. If the Packers do not trade Rodgers in 2022, they risk the same fate as the New England Patriots after the 2019 season when they let Tom Brady walk in free agency for absolutely nothing.
