The Aaron Rodgers saga continues.
Amid a start to the roller coaster season in which speculation about Rodgers ’frustration with the Packers has gone through several levels of concern, a former teammate has come in and thrown more gas into the fire.
Former Packers offensive line player TJ Lang, who is close to Rodgers, appeared Monday on 97.1 FM “The Ticket” in Detroit, saying Rodgers is “determined to take revenge” on the Green Bay property .
“I think he was quietly angry when they took it [Utah State quarterback] Jordan Love a year ago, “Lang said.” The only thing I will say about Aaron Rodgers, almost the last ten years of his career, was that he wanted this team to finish all-in for a year. “Give me some pieces, let’s do all-in, let’s change a future first if we have to get a couple of guys. We just go all-inclusive and try to win that thing.”
“And last year he let them glimpse that they were doing this, ‘I’m excited, let’s see who they can bring in,’ and they bring in a quarterback. I think that was the last buffet when it feels like a one-piece win. all “.
The Packers famously switched to the first round of the 2020 NFL draft to select Love, despite having Rodgers under contract and having a notable need for wide receiver alongside All-Pro Davante Adams. Green Bay still finished 13-3 and returned to the NFC championship game, but lost to the Buccaneers.
Rodgers said his future at Green Bay could be “uncertain” at a post-game press conference, suggesting that the Packers could move from Rodgers and move to Love in 2021. However, both the Head coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst have 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 for Matthew Stafford.
Still, there is more evidence that not everything is fine in Packer Land.
