The meditation was incredible because there were no distractions for me.”

Aaron Rodgers blames Packers and Jordan Love for his decision to play with the Jets
After his darkness retreat, Aaron Rodgerswas convinced to come back and play football for the Green Bay Packers. However, the quarterback found out strange operational movements by the organization which were crucial for him to go and play for the New York Jets.
“In 2020, they (Packers) took Jordan (Love) to replace me. You drafted Jordan. If I didn’t have won two MVPs, we could have had this conversation. They (Packers) get rid of players a year early rather than a year later. They drafted a guy toreplace me, maybe not right away. A lot of people who were at the beginning, they’re not there anymore (Green Bay) as decision makers.”
Aaron Rodgersblamed directly the Packers’front office for his final decision. “When I came out of darkness, something changed. I realized there’s been a bit of a shift. There was some shopping going on. They wanted to move me. For me, the Packers were ready to move on. There are no victims here. I love Green Bay. I love the fans.”
