Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers is so disgruntled with the Green Bay Packers that he has told some within the organization that he does not want to return to the team, league and team sources told ESPN on Thursday.

The Packers are aware of his feelings, concerned about them and have had team president Mark Murphy, general manager Brian Gutekunst and head coach Matt LaFleur each fly out on separate trips to meet with Rodgers at various points this offseason, sources told ESPN.

"As we've stated since the season ended, we are committed to Aaron in 2021 and beyond," Gutekunst told ESPN. "Aaron has been a vital part of our success and we look forward to competing for another championship with him leading our team."

Rodgers has not budged this offseason, but neither have the Packers, who have made it known they are not interested in trading Rodgers anywhere.

The San Francisco 49ers called the Packers on Wednesday night, a source told ESPN, and the Los Angeles Rams inquired about Rodgers in January before they traded for Matthew Stafford.

The Packers quickly dismissed the Rams' overtures, the source said.

The Packers have offered to extend Rodgers' contract, sources told ESPN.

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 host Jeopardy! together.

Rodgers has made cryptic comments about his future in Green Bay, but he has told others that he does not want to return.

On draft night, the Packers' biggest issue isn't who they land, but whether they can keep the former NFL MVP.

Rodgers' contract contained a $6.8 million roster bonus due in March. It could have been converted into a signing bonus that would have freed up more than $4.5 million in salary-cap space for this season but instead it "vested as scheduled," a source told ESPN at the time. It's listed as an automatic conversion in Rodgers' contract but even that has to be signed off on by both parties. It's not known if the Packers tried to convert and Rodgers refused to sign off on it, or if they did not attempt a conversion.

Pretty bogus thing to do imo. A A ron didn't say anything so everyone was left to speculations and drama drama drama.
Agreed, but given EXACTLY what he stated, nobody should have really blinked an eye. He literally stated over and over that this was something that these were things that had happened since the end of the season or so. I wouldn't have given him airtime for it, but I don't find fault with anything he said.

So this Rodgers' saga was leaked during the draft...and came from a source that really didn't know shit about the situation.

Now it's been a headline generator for over a week....rinse/repeat.

Normally I'd be put-off by this level of media manipulation...except it really got Donk fans hopes up...only to crush them back into a Lock/Bridgewater reality...

I'll never not enjoy a quality dose of schadenfreude when it comes to Horseface's cheating-ass franchise...

“Sorry, coach. I tweaked a hammy walking out of the tunnel. I’m probably just going to pedal this bike on the sidelines for a few weeks. Love is ready, right?”

if the rumors are true that rodgers was telling pending free agents he won't return, could the league get him for tampering? :-)

Rodgers has every right to be fucking pissed off.

He took the team to the NFC Championship two years in a row and the front office rewarded him by drafting a QB in the first round.

I hope Rodgers leaves and the Packers suck for eternity, like the Raiders.

The Chiefs have an issue with offensive line and what does Veach do? Sign three Pro Bowlers and draft a potential Pro Bowler center.

The Packers fall short of the Super Bowl and what does their GM do? Draft a QB.
I am stumped. I cannot decide who gets butthurt more easily, you or Rodgers :-)

That's happening no matter what they do. They're in a jam either way.

On Inside the NBA last night Charles Barkley said, oh let's not start false rumors, we are not that other network that just creates fake stories.

based on the amount of money rodgers will have to repay to greenbay if he doesn't play I'll be surprised if he doesn't fold like the bitch he is and go back to greenbay


Oh Aaron, you don't wanna play in Green Bay anymore

He's made over 200 mill, and im sure invested much of it. If he is as stubborn as they would have us believe I can see him repaying.

Green Bay is that dude that’s luckily fallen into 2 gorgeous women over the years, treated them like shit and drove them away. He will expect another one to just fall into his lap, when in reality is going to discover they don’t grow on trees, and that he’s a loser that’s squandered several chances at an amazing thing.

They can't trade Rodgers without destroying themselves for the next several years. Trading him means "We are starting over." No division title, no playoffs and far less relevance in the media and league. They have been in the last 4 Champ games. Lost them all but still the team is not complete shit.

They have no idea if Love is any good but they certainly know the chances he just lights it up is slim. They will make Rodgers quit before they trade him just to save face with the fan base.

Now Watson is a little different even with the outside legal shit. Houston is shit and has a crap roster. Their fanbase may be ready to just cut cut bait and start over.

Holy shit. Almost 30 years of transcendent talent at QB and they managed to win just 2 Super Bowls.
