The Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers go a long way back. But all things considered, some believe Rodgersâ tenure in charge of the offense hasnât been exactly successful, as he âjustâ has one Super Bowl to show for it.
While winning a Super Bowl is way more than several franchises can brag about, the standard is different when you have a first-ballot Hall of Famer under center. Moreover, it seems like itâs been ages since they made it to the big game.
So, given Rodgersâ demanding and high-maintenance personality and the Packersâ inability to go the distance, beat writer Bob McGinn affirms the organization is ready to move on from the quarterback.
NFL News: Packers Are Done With Aaron Rodgers
(Transcript via ProFootballTalk)
âWhen Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers becomes the Prince of (Four Days of) Darkness, thereâs apparently one less decision for him to make.
Bob McGinn, who has covered the Packers for decades, said in a podcast with Tyler Dunne of GoLongTD.com that the team is ready to move on from Rodgers.
âThey are done with Rodgers,â McGinn said, citing his own instincts, his knowledge of the league, and âdiscussions with someone who [has] first-hand knowledgeâ of the Packers. âHeâs not coming back. I mean, theyâre disgusted with him, and theyâre done with him. And theyâre moving on.ââ
Truth be told, it would be hard to blame them if thatâs actually the case. Aaron Rodgers has given them no clarity about his future, and this game of cat and mouse every offseasonhas grown old already.
They could get some decent value in return for their future Hall of Famer, not to mention taking his huge salary off their books. So, donât be shocked if this is the start of the end of an era at Lambeau Field.
