“They don’t draft any weapons that can help immediately, to my knowledge. That sends a disrespect message to Aaron Rodgers. He has every right to be disappointed, if he is.”

“Let me tell y’all something right now: Look out! Aaron is about to be on fire.”

“Many believe that, because of his contract and cap charges, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will spend at least two more years in Green Bay. As recently explained, however, the Packers would save nearly $4.8 million in cap space and $22 million in cash by trading Rodgers after the 2020 season.”

“(Speculating about Dallas trading for Rodgers if Dak Prescott leaves in free agency) Just a year removed from Aaron Rodgers’ exultation after Mike McCarthy was fired as the head coach of the Green Bay Packers, the future Hall of Fame QB could end up playing for him once again after the Packers made some puzzling moves in the 2020 NFL Draft.”

“I think the frustrating part for [Rodgers], and for the organization, will be this story will not go away after the first press conference for Aaron when the team finally is back together. It’ll keep coming up—not just this year. It probably doesn’t help that [Rodgers and LaFleur] probably won’t be in the same room for a while.”

“When Aaron Rodgers was drafted to Green Bay, obviously they didn’t trade up, but they took a quarterback in the first round when Favre was still playing well and had years left of playing. I’m sure Brett wasn’t real fond of that happening and I’m sure Aaron wasn’t real fond of it happening today, especially after going 13-3 and playing good football.”

Per a recent report from Mike Sando of The Athletic, there is at least one NFL executive out there who sees the Raiders targeting Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers next offseason. Sando iterated that the (unnamed) executive listed Las Vegas as a “prime destination” for Rodgers given the state of their roster and the bright lights of the city.
“I will not be surprised if Aaron Rodgers wins MVP this year. He is that type of player, that when he’s motivated and has something to prove he is a very scary dude. I’ve been around him and he is a perfectionist, and now you draft a guy who you say is going to be his successor? He’s going to go out there and show the world that he’s still the best to do it.”
– James Jones
“Public niceties aside, my sense is LaFleur, fresh from a terrific 13-3 baptismal season, simply had enough of Rodgers’ act and wanted to change the narrative. With a first-round talent on the roster, the Packers would gain leverage with their imperial quarterback and his passive-aggressive style.”

In response to Rob Demovsky tweeting ‘Will Aaron Rodgers’ Packers tenure end similarly to Brett Favre’s?’:
“This is a bunch of BS, Rob, for you to pretend to be @AaronRodgers12 spokesperson is a joke! Aaron is a big boy. He isn’t losing sleep over this. He is chilling, training and enjoying his off-season. He can handle the business of the @nfl. If anything, he has mastered it.”
– Brady Poppinga
“(When asked if Rodgers’ response to drafting Love would be a problem) I don’t think so. He’s always been a true pro, a pro’s pro, and a really, really good teammate. I know what his goals are, so I don’t (anticipate it being an issue).”
