Aaron Rodgers has finally publicly addressed his issues with the Green Bay Packers. Nearly one month after it was first reported that the quarterback no longer wants to play for the team, Rodgers doesn’t appear to have changed his mind.
Speaking with Kenny Mayne during the anchor’s final “SportsCenter” appearance, Rodgers didn’t directly say that he wanted to be traded. Rodgers denied having an issue with backup Jordan Love, though he might not have appreciated the way the draft pick was made.
“With my situation, look it’s never been about the draft pick, picking Jordan,” Rodgers said Monday night. “I love Jordan; he's a great kid. [We’ve had] a lot of fun to work together. Love the coaching staff, love my teammates, love the fan base in Green Bay. An incredible 16 years. It's just kind of about a philosophy and maybe forgetting that it is about the people that make the thing go. Its about character, it's about culture, it’s about doing things the right way.”
