The Aaron Rodgers saga continues.
In the midst of an off-road roller coaster ride, in which speculation about Rodgers’ frustration with the Packers went through various levels of concern, a former teammate now stepped in and threw more gas into the fire.
Former offensive Packers striker TJ Lang, who is close to Rodgers, appeared on the 97.1 FM “The Ticket” program in Detroit on Monday, and said that Rodgers is “determined to take revenge” on the Green Bay property. .
“I think he was furious when they caught [Utah State quarterback] Jordan Love a year ago, ”said Lang. “The only thing I will say about Aaron Rodgers, basically, in the last 10 years of his career, he wanted the team to go all-in for a year. ‘Just give me a few pieces, let’s move all-in, let’s negotiate a future first, if we need some guys. Let’s go all-in and try to win this. ‘
“And then, last year, he suggested that they do this, ‘Hey, I’m excited, let’s see who they can bring’, and they brought a quarterback. I think it was the ultimate slap in the face when you feel like you’re one step closer to winning the whole thing. “
The Packers became famous in the first round of the NFL 2020 Draft to select Love, despite having Rodgers under contract and a notable need for a wide receiver alongside All-Pro Davante Adams. Green Bay still finished 13-3 and managed to return to the NFC Championship Game, but lost to the Buccaneers.
Rodgers said his future at Green Bay may be “uncertain” at a post-game press conference, leading some to think that the Packers could leave Rodgers and become Love in 2021. However, both coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst maintained that they have no interest in negotiating Rodgers. According to reports, they refused to make it available to the Rams, who ended up negotiating with Matthew Stafford.
Still, it is further evidence that all is not well in the Packers’ land.
