The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/green-bay-packers-t97065" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Bay Packers</a> were on everybody’s mouths during the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> offseason. Insiders and fans discussed <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/aaron-rodgers-t119902" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Rodgers’</a> situation on a daily basis, and no one knew for sure what was going to happen with that.
Rodgers and the teams eventually make amends to run it back for at least another season. Needless to say, that once again made them one of the clear-cut favorites to make it to the Super Bowl.
Instead, the Packers were completely humbled in Week 1, losing 38-3 to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/new-orleans-saints-t97758" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Orleans Saints</a> in one of Rodgers’ all-time worst performances. And even though it’s just Week 1, some are worried about how his situation might be a distraction for the team.

<h2>Packers News: Matt LaFleur Says Aaron Rodgers’ Offseason Drama Didn’t Affect The Team</h2>
Nonetheless, Packers coach Matt LaFleur doesn’t think that Rodgers’ offseason drama will take a toll on the team, claiming that they were beaten fair and square by the Saints and that there wasn’t anything else to read into it:
(Transcript via Mike Florio of NBC Sports’ ProFootballTalk)
“There’s a national media site that just before you got in her published a story saying that Rodgers’s uncertain status might have impacted things yesterday,” the reporter said, before asking LaFleur whether there’s anything to that.
“No, I think this team’s focused on now,” LaFleur replied. “And unfortunately, sometimes in this league you get humbled. And certainly we got humbled. Like I said, it’s about how we respond to that. How we come back to work. How we stay together. And get ready to play against a team I know is gonna be really hungry coming in here.”
That’s just classic coach talk right there. Even if Rodgers’ situation did affect the team, he’s not going to stir the pot by admitting it. Hopefully, they’ll be able to turn the page quickly and this doesn’t become a season-long story.

Matt LaFleur speaks up on Aaron Rodgers' drama after humiliating loss to Saints

Matt LaFleur speaks up on Aaron Rodgers' drama after humiliating loss to Saints - Bolavip US

What has been a strong rumor for a couple of seasons now could become a reality rather sooner than later. Apparently, reigning MVP <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/aaron-rodgers-t119902" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> wants nothing to do with the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/green-bay-packers-t97065" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Bay Packers</a> anymore, a piece of news that’s shaking the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> world right now.
The talented gunslinger is reportedly livid with the organization and how little they’ve done to give him more weapons over the years, especially since last year’s draft when they used a 1st-round pick on quarterback Jordan Love:
“Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers is so disgruntled with the Green Bay Packers that he has told some within the organization that he<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/packers-shouldnt-trade-aaron-rodgers-vs-june-20210430-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> does not want to return</a> to the team, league and team sources told ESPN on Thursday,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Draft day.

<h2>Matt LaFleur Says He’s Aware Of Aaron Rodgers’ Situation, Wants Him To Come Back</h2>
That’s why head coach Matt LaFleur had no choice but to dig deeper into the matter when doing a draft recap, claiming that he really wants Rodgers to come back and lead the offense for them:
“I’d like to keep every conversation that Aaron and I have had up to this point between us. I know the report’s out there. But this guy’s our quarterback, man. He’s our leader of our team. I want nothing more than to see him back in a Packer uniform. In my eyes, he’s the greatest to ever do it. I don’t care about Super Bowls or whatnot. But we want him back here,” LaFleur said.
The coach also said that he can’t even think of the possibility of Rodgers not coming back to the team, vowing to do whatever it takes to convince him to run it back and make another playoff run:

“I can’t ever take my brain to that spot right now,” LaFleur said. “I just want to do everything in my power to ensure that doesn’t happen.”
The rumors say that Rodgers’ condition to stay with the team is that they fire General Manager Brian Gutekunst, who didn’t even have the common courtesy of calling him to give him a heads up on the Jordan Love pick. If not, he’s even considering retirement, according to multiple reports.
