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.

I do find it interesting that the Rodgers news broke when the draft started...was a nice attention deflection from the Watson story.

Much nicer PR story dominating the off-season media lull than fixating on a sex scandal involving one of it's younger stars.

Rodgers and the Packers FO will kiss and make-up...they arent shipping off their MVP/face-of-the-franchise and going with a QB that has never taken a snap.

Yeah, I have to agree... he's not young and the team has very talented guys depending on him. It would just be a total dick move that none would forgive him for holding out.

Very true... had not considered the distraction from Watson side of it. Maybe Adam got a nice check for floating that out there.

Good point. Rodgers is pretty close to Adams. How do you think Adams would feel about Rodgers completely sabotaging their season in his contract year?

There’s no way Rodgers can pull it off without looking like a complete asshole IMO.

Yeah, he would not be happy... granted, they each have to look out for themselves. And, lots of people hate their bosses, but still go to work esp when they're getting paid his money. If he holds out because he's really pissy about the GM --- that's just poor form.

This simply isn’t true.

Schefter chose to release it on draft day. He said so himself.

They knew about this for months but nothing ever got reported until draft day huh? Schefter talks to players. I bet he was asked to do that but won’t ever confess that.

Rodgers is just the type of petty prick to set that up.

Schefter is just falling on the sword so he keeps getting information from players and agents.

Anyone who doesn't think Rodgers and his minions weren't 100% behind that info leaking on draft day is a very naïve person.

And, now... those very same forces are conjuring up the Watson to Denver talk in an effort to prompt the Packers to act before they lose out on a haul. It's like they're trying to get the Packers and Texans into a bidding war to see who can give their QB to Denver for the most appealing price to Denver. Maybe that's where QJ takes the narrative. :-)

Rodger is an arrogant douche bag.

He got his offensive system changed and the Head Coach fired. Now he's going for his GM for shits and giggles.

This isn't about not telling Roger they were going to draft a QB. This is about is arrogance and money. He likes to make Green Bay the NFL media dance, and he wants a new deal before he gets too old to demand one.

He likes to date starlets and get as much media attention as he can.

What a stretch for Jordan Love:

* Wheel route to AJ Dillon right sideline for 30 yards.

* Free play deep to Lazard for 45.

* Deep corner route to Juwann Winfee for 30.

* Deep sideline to Aaron Jones for 30.

He was so 🔥 that TE coach Justin Outten started fanning him.

That's odd, heard mention today on FS1 that Jordan Love has been inaccurate with his throws
