Aaron Rodgers Is Not Changing His Tune, He’s Getting What He Wants
Yesterday, the newest bit of information on Aaron Rodgers came out. Dan Graziano, who is more of an NFC East reporter then a national guy, reported that the Rodgers camp is now feeling like the two sides can mend fences. For those who have been in the weeds here, this isn’t a surprise. Rodgers’ camp never leaked the story. That was the San Francisco 49ers. Was he pissed? Yeah, for sure. But it had everything to do with a new payday and likely trying to work towards trading Jordan Love.
The relationship between Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers doesn't seem to be quite as irreparable as previously thought, per @DanGrazianoESPN:
"There have been conversations between Aaron Rodgers camp and the Packers about a new contract."

On Monday, Phase 3 of the offseason begins which also means Rodgers gets paid for showing up. If Rodgers doesn’t show up, he loses that money. Now, Rodgers can afford to lose a few dimes here and there, but it does start adding up. If he missed the entire offseason, Rodgers is leaving five to six figures on the table. Could this be setting the stage for the contact to get done over the weekend? Then after the contract is done, Rodgers goes on with Kenny Mayne and it’s all hunky dorey? That’s the dream right now. Reality is probably this goes on for a little while longer.
We’ll see what the next phase is in the Rodgers’ saga.
