Aaron Rodgers Finally Opens Up About His Situation With The Packers

For a while, we’ve been speculating on if Aaron Rodgers will be back with the Green Bay Packers.

After reports circulated that he was so fed up with the organization that he was willing to retire before putting on a Packers jersey again, we haven’t heard from the reigning MVP. Until Now, that is.

Aaron Rodgers went on Kenny Mayne’s last “Sportscenter” show, and was asked by the decorated anchor point blank if he was demanding to be traded from the Packers. Rodgers didn’t answer the question directly, but he did shed some light on why he’s so upset with the Packers.

“With my situation, look it’s never been about the draft pick, picking Jordan,” Rodgers told Mayne via ESPN. “I love Jordan; he’s a great kid. [We’ve had] a lot of fun to work together. Love the coaching staff, love my teammates, love the fan base in Green Bay. An incredible 16 years. It’s just kind of about a philosophy and maybe forgetting that it is about the people that make the thing go. It’s about character, it’s about culture, it’s about doing things the right way.”

Rodgers would continue his point that somewhere along the way the Packers’ front office forgot who they’re really working for.

“A lot of this was put in motion last year, and the wrench was just kind of thrown into it when I won MVP and played the way I played last year,” Rodgers said during the interview. “This is just kind of, I think, a spill-out of all that. But it is about the people, and that’s the most important thing. Green Bay has always been about the people — from Curly Lambeau being owner and founder to the ’60s with [Vince] Lombardi and Bart Starr and all those incredible names to the ’90s teams with coach [Mike] Holmgren and Favrey [Brett Favre] and the Minister of Defense [Reggie White] to the run that we’ve been on. It’s about the people.”

In Aaron Rodgers’ defense, he had praise for just about every member of the Packers organization, except for GM Brian Gutekunst and the rest of the front office.

“I think sometimes people forget what really makes an organization,” Rodgers said Monday. “History is important, legacy of so many people who’ve come before you. But the people, that’s the most important thing. People make an organization, people make a business and sometimes that gets forgotten. Culture is built brick by brick, the foundation of it by the people, not by the organization, not by the building, not by the corporation. It’s built by the people.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to play a number of amazing, amazing people and got to work for some amazing people as well. It’s those people that build foundation of those entities. I think sometimes we forget that.”

To cap off the interview, Kenny Mayne walked off like only he could, telling the Packers QB, “f**k you”.

Kenny Mayne is the best. 😂😂😂

While Aaron Rodgers is was willing to talk to Kenny Mayne about his current situation, it just sounds like he has no idea how things are going to shake out with the Packers.

For now, we’ll all just have to accept that.
