Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers just had his first press conference of training camp and people’s minds are blown.
The daytime soap operas really have no chance competing with the live one going on in Green Bay this week. With the Packers at training camp, that means Aaron Rodgers is back in the building despite all the offseason drama with the front office.
On Wednesday, Rodgers spoke to reporters for the first time and didn’t hold back opening up about his issues with Brian Gutekunst and the rest of the front office. Rodgers was completely open, letting everyone know just how frustrated he was.
Aaron Rodgers has turned Twitter upside down following his presser on Wednesday
A quick look at Twitter lets you know just how taken aback folks are with what Rodgers had to say. He basically called out Gutekunst for not keeping him informed of big-time decisions, while also saying he nearly decided to hang up his cleats and retire.
As you can see from those tweets above, people couldn’t believe how open Rodgers was. While he’s focused on trying to get the Packers back to the Super Bowl, it’s obvious that he wasn’t happy with the team in recent months.
Matter of fact, things have been going south for a while now. With Rodgers coming off an MVP season in 2020, he’ll of course be ready to ball out in 2021. For Gutekunst, however, he must make his superstar signal-caller happy and keep things that way.
