Schefter added on ESPN that Packers officials have been trying to meet with Rodgers to convince him to change his mind.
"To date, Aaron Rodgers has not budged," Schefter said. "And so we have standoff here that nobody knows exactly where it's going. And thus, the 49ers called the Green Bay Packers last night, and the Packers said, 'We're not trading him.'
"And the Los Angeles Rams called in January, before they traded for Matthew Stafford, to see if they would trade him, and they were told, 'No.'"
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst issued a statement saying that the team remains committed to Rodgers in 2021 and beyond. However, some within the organization aren't sure if Rodgers will ever return.
