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.

One sure fire way to discover if your take on MHM is 100% wrong, is if Tex is here defending him.

I doubt anyone here has given him more shit than Tex.

And this has happened twice now I think and we’ve agreed maybe three other times in the last 10 months. The pandemic has truly f—ed things up.

The trade was never going to happen before the Amazon Prime 2-Day event was over. Everyone knows that. The Denver front office is too busy with low priced Roombas to vacuum up gun wrappers right now. July 1 it’s a done deal as some clown on ESPN with a fading career and the stench of desperation said so. He goes to Denver in return for a 2039 7th round pick.

June 1st was the earliest it could've happened. If it happens, it probably won't be until late July at the earliest. Green Bay isn't going to trade him until they're 100% sure he's not coming back. They'll probably want to wait and see if he shows up to training camp before doing anything.

Reality finally setting in I see :-)

They aren’t going to trade him in the middle of TC :-)

Broncos are almost the favorite to win the West after this most likely to happen trade potentially happens maybe soon after July 1st.

It'd be incredibly stupid to trade him before the season, even if he doesn't play with them this year.

The draft capital would be terrible. They would miss out on a top 10 pick as well as possibly an early second if he plays for LV, Denver, NYG etc.. this year

They have a SB contender caliber roster still too.

All everybody talks about is how Rodgers is “dug in”.

So are the Packers.

According to 610-- Rodgers renewed his private Golf Club membership in Green Bay.

He is locked in.

If Rodgers held out the whole season and Packers did not trade him, I think the Pack could trade him next offseason and carryover all of his unearned salary to next year's cap and zero out his dead cap hit.

Packers are likely to get a better trade package next offseason than this season unless the same thing that happened in 2011 with the Raiders and Bengals and Carson Palmer and Jason Campbell injury. Raiders thought they were a contender, Campbell gets hurt, then Bengals finally get a decent offer for Palmer.

Delusional Bronco Fan (Knowmo) : But...but...but...his fiancé lives in Boulder and Rodgers is RICH, RICH, RICH, so he could easily commute from Denver to Green Bay for a round of golf...:-)
