Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst says he can’t envision any scenario in which he would deal quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

“We are not going to trade Aaron Rodgers,” Gutekunst said Thursday night after the first round of the NFL draft.

ESPN reported in the hours leading up to the draft that Rodgers doesn’t want to come back to the Packers. The ESPN report, citing unidentified sources, said the Packers have offered to extend the reigning MVP’s contract and that team CEO Mark Murphy, Gutekunst and coach Matt LaFleur each met with Rodgers during the offseason.

Gutekust responded to the report by saying that “we are committed to Aaron in 2021 and beyond.” He expanded on those remarks late Thursday following the Packers’ first-round selection of Georgia cornerback Eric Stokes.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch acknowledged he had checked with the Packers about Rodgers’ potential availability and was quickly rebuffed. The 49ers selected North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance.
