A year removed from Aaron Rodgers' offseason of discontent, he now has a new contract and a renewed commitment to a team that now includes him in key decision-making conversations. After back-to-back MVP seasons, the 38-year-old Rodgers is showing no signs of slowing down, although his recent playoff performance has drawn increased scrutiny.

Especially disappointing was the team's season-ending 13-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, a game that, despite their mistake-prone special teams' game-changing gaffes, the Packers should have won given that the defense didn't allow a touchdown and the Packers had such a big advantage at quarterback.

Instead, after back-to-back-to-back 13-win seasons, the Packers are now a dozen years removed from their last Super Bowl title, and to win another, they'll have to do it without one of the greatest wide receivers in team history — Davante Adams, whom they traded to the Las Vegas Raiders in March, creating the offensive concerns that even LaFleur and Rodgers acknowledged are understandable.
