Wait a freaking minute here. Put yourself in his shoes. Last year during the draft, the Packers traded up to draft Rodger's potential replacement without telling him. He is the reigning league MVP. What message are they sending him when they have had a full year now to fix this situation but they just didn't. Do you not believe he is due a certain degree of job security? What exactly was it about when they moved up to draft Jordan Love? I'd be pissed off too if I were Aaron Rodgers. That was just straight-up disrespectful for the Packers to do that crap without warning. So, Rodgers is now throwing bombs, tried to blow up the Packer's latest draft, and is now refusing to play for them. They need to fix this by massaging his bruised ego a bit. Special players get special treatment and they didn't do that for him. He deserves a raise and an extension. Maybe he needs to be more hands-off of this and just let his agent handle it but I can't blame a guy for being concerned about his own career.
That was the same way Rodgers got drafted. I don't see the issue. They have no obligation to Aaron Rodgers other than to pay him the contract he's signed. They are still allowed to try to plan for their future beyond a 37-year-old QB.
GB has surrounded him with a top 3 offensive line, a top 3 WR, and a top 5-7 RB. There are not many better situations he's going to leave GB and walk into.
