After Aaron Rodgers’ interesting press conference, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur talked about wanting him back. ‘Hell yeah, I want him back, he’s our leader.’ That was a great quote from LaFleur expressing his excitement with the Packers’ geat despite knowing there could be some frustration between the two. Then on Monday night, Packers president Mark Murphy said the ‘Packers would be idiots’ to get rid of Rodgers, and that he is ‘our leader.’ That is important. Words matter. The fact both Murphy and LaFleur used the phrase ‘Our leader’ says a lot to me. He will be back with Green Bay no matter what’s being said today.

"We're not idiots. Aaron Rodgers will be back, he's our leader."

ESPN’s Adam Schefter ran with a made-up story about Rodgers retiring to force his way out. It is beyond what Rodgers would ever do. Yes, the Packers want Rodgers back. There are 0.0 signs of Rodgers wanting to force his way out and start looking for a new home. If you actually listen to the fucking guy every now and again, he talks about how much he loves Green Bay regularly. This isn’t some disgruntled superstar where things have went wrong on every turn. Rodgers will hopefully put this to bed with Pat McAfee today. And if he doesn’t, well, we will attack that when it comes in.
