On Draft Day, Aaron Rodgers Reportedly Wants Out of Green Bay

So this just popped up on the Twitter timeline and it might be worth sharing. According to esteemed NFL reporter, Adam Schefter, Aaron Rodgers wants out of Green Bay and as far away from the Packers organization as possible. Uh oh…

Schefter is reporting that the Packers have had three representatives go out to try and visit with Rodgers (Mike Murphy, Brian Gutekunst and Matt Lefleur) on three separate occasions and he wouldn’t meet with any of them. Teams, including the 49ers and Rams are even calling the Packers to inquire about Aaron’s availability.

Not only is Rodgers mad about the drafting of his replacement last offseason but he’s apparently wanting to spread his wings beyond the limits of Green Bay now that he has an actress wife. You hate love to see it.

Rodgers is unhappy for a variety of reasons, with some of it dating back to last year’s draft when the Packers didn’t inform him before trading up to draft a quarterback with their first-round pick. Some took this as a sign that his days in Green Bay could he numbered.

He also is at a different point in his personal life, having recently gotten engaged to actress Shailene Woodley. Rodgers also has hosted “Jeopardy!” and said it would be a dream to become the full-time host. He could play football and also host “Jeopardy!”

Aaron told Packers he doesn’t want to return as @AdamSchefter said and I think it’s more than a contract deal, I think he’s pretty strongly convicted that he doesn’t want to go back to Packers.
