THE BAD NEWS
Right now, the Packers have $16.4 million in cap space. In the event of a trade, Green Bay would lose $8.7 million in space in 2023, because Rodgers’ dead money if traded is higher than his cap hit if he stays in Wisconsin.
That happens because, when a player is traded, everything that has already been paid and has yet to be accounted for cap purposes accelerates into the current year’s cap. If the Packers execute this trade after June 1, which won’t happen in this case, the acceleration kicks in the following season. So, the Packers will have $40.3 million in dead money, which is past signing bonuses already paid to Rodgers that are still prorated until 2026.
That’s the bad part. The Packers will lose cap space this year, and there isn’t much room to recoup it. Because Green Bay started the season over the cap, moves were necessary regardless for them to be under the cap. According to cap specialist Ken Ingalls, the Packers have $2 million in effective cap space, after considering draft signings and Yosh Nijman’s restricted free-agent tender. If they trade Rodgers, they must open more space to sign free agents and operate during the season.

Why can't they agree to the terms of a trade and make it official after June 1?

We should know something soon. Packers won't get much for Rodgers since no one else is in the running, also he is 40, his numbers were down, and he isn't long term solution.
This is going to be more of a give away to move on. There will be no trove of picks.
The other possibility is Rodgers retires.
