Draft Day Drama: Aaron Rodgers reportedly wants out of Green Bay
Published:
Some major news from the NFL has come out just a few hours before the first round of Thursday night’s draft. MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers is reportedly unhappy in Green Bay.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that Rodgers, who has spent his entire NFL career with the franchise, 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.” That would have huge implications for the organization, as well as for the draft.
No specifics were provided in Schefter’s initial report on Twitter.
