One NFL executive fully understands why the Green Bay Packers are more open to trading Aaron Rodgers than ever before. The anonymous exec says Rodgers held the team “hostage” for a massive contract extension in 2022 and didn’t deliver on the historic deal this season.
The Athletic NFL writer Mike Sando spoke to several NFL executives to get their opinion on the Rodgers-Packers situation, and one exec explained why they believe the team missed a big opportunity last year and why now Green Bay is definitely “done with” Rodgers.
“The time to jump off was last year. They missed the ability to maximize their compensation. And they missed the playoffs. When they moved Davante [Adams], they should have moved Aaron and said, ‘We are starting over and we have all these picks.’”
