Meh at the time I still think then money covered issues for Rodgers. He was highest paid player in the NFL then.Well he signed a new contract and he could have walked then and had afit. GB is not for everyone neither is Wisconsin. As Mark once said it’s an acquired taste. All that matter is what he did on the field

Just like Jordan and Pippen but without the rings. Delusions of grandeur.

If your unhappy money can be found elsewhere. I honestly think he loves the history of the franchise and being part of it. That’s separate from living there.

Does he respect the history? Yes but I think many players who don't even play in GB respect the history that GB holds. Rodgers is a guy who has lost his love of the game and it's nothing but a paycheck to him.

If you play for an organization you will always be connected to it. He’s said as much in interview that he loves the history and the fans, the roll the barrels thing. The “love of the game “ stuff is about as annoying as Packer People

So, if Rodgers has an “inner circle” on the team it seems that Adams and Bakhtiari are part of it, but who else?

Well we can comfortably say it’s not Jordan Love

Russillo on The Herd:
If you had a best friend, right, a guy you grew up with and the families are friends. You’re married, he’s married, everybody gets along, and he said, “Hey, I think I’m gonna leave my wife.”
You’re like “Woah, okay. Well, do you have any specifics?”
“Nah, you know I’m just not feeling it.”
You’d be like, “Okay, if you’re gonna blow up your family here, I need to be convinced a little bit. I’m supporting you, I get it, things change. I just need specifics.”
And this entire Aaron Rodgers saga has been rather vague. I like Aaron Rogers. I clearly like him more than you. But this Packers team is a Super Bowl contender. It’s not like he’s been with a team here for a decade-plus that’s never had any chance.
I get it, Rodgers is really special, and now he wants to move on. But this entire saga, Colin, I feel like, I need … you’re playing the victim? Convince me you’re the victim. Okay? Convince me you’re the victim. Because just drafting Jordan Love and not getting a head’s up is not enough to do this to the franchise that’s supported him. To do this to his teammates who, for the most part really like him.
Okay, cool, you want out. And you do all these vague things. I need something more specific. He can clearly leak it to anybody in the media that he wants to, but this entire timeline, Colin, I’m just not all that convinced that he’s as aggrieved as he portrays to be.
