Recently, two former players for the Green Bay Packers—the front office—made their reasons for leaving the team known.Davante Adams left the Packers during the previous summer for personal reasons. In the same offseason when his pal Aaron Rodgers was dealt to the New York Jets, he seems to have altered that narrative.
One of the reasons Rodgers wanted to be traded from Green Bay was because he felt he was not getting along with the executive office of the Packers. When Rodgers declared on the Pat McAfee Show that he intended to play for the Jets, he made sure to criticize the front office’s handling of older players. According to Rodgers, athletes were not given “dignity” by the front office as they became older..

Rodgers remarked, “Listen to their words and look at the track record.” “Whatever happened to Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers, Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson, and so forth? There’s just one way to do things. It’s a business; if you don’t want to bring people back, that’s okay. However, there are steps that can be taken to preserve the man’s honor. Let’s live up to the words we say. I value it, and I am the one who is doing it now.
Rodgers has already sent advisories to Packers supporters regarding the operations of the front office. During his tenure in Green Bay, Rodgers provided a list of guys he believed the Packers didn’t respect.
