GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers was not among the group of players who reported to Lambeau Field on Monday for the start of organized team activities, a source told ESPN.
That came as no surprise to the team given that Rodgers did not participate in Phase One, which the Packers held virtually for the previous four weeks, or Phase Two, which was held in person last week.
Phase Three, which includes 10 total days of work spread out over four weeks, began Monday. The first session open to reporters is Tuesday.
The entire offseason program, excluding the June 8-10 mandatory minicamp, is voluntary. However, Rodgers is one of 19 Packers' players with an offseason workout bonus. He already has missed enough to disqualify him from cashing his $500,000 bonus.
It's another sign that nothing has changed in the standoff between the Packers and Rodgers, who has told some in the organization that he does want to play here again after spending the first 16 years of his NFL career in Green Bay.
The Packers have maintained that they have no desire to trade Rodgers and want him to return for "2021 and beyond," as Packers president Mark Murphy put it.
