Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers<\/a> had a long, drawn-out divorce with the Packers. But the drama between the quarterback and the team may have been worse than it seemed.<\/p>\n

The Packers<\/a> selected quarterback Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 draft.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At some point before the 2021 draft, Rogers’ agent, David Dunn, contacted the Packers to request that his client be traded or the team fire general manager Brian Gutekunst, according to a report from The Athletic.<\/p>\n

Dunn could not be reached for comment, and Rodgers declined to speak about the situation during his conversation with The Athletic.<\/p>\n

Last month, Green Bay traded Rodgers to the Jets<\/a> in exchange for multiple draft picks.<\/p>\n

AARON RODGERS EMBRACING NEW HOME, SAYS MTV’S ‘JERSEY SHORE’ WAS ‘ONE OF THE GREATEST SHOWS’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The tension between Rodgers and the Packers was palpable in 2021, and the quarterback publicly put pressure on the front office to change the team’s overall culture.<\/p>\n

Rodgers was named the league’s most valuable player in 2021 and was later rewarded with a massive three-year, $150 million contract extension. But the contract was not enough to get Rodgers to attend the team’s voluntary OTAs.<\/p>\n

The Packers’ decision-makers were not “satisfied with Rodgers\u2019 commitment and effort” after he signed the extension, according to The Athletic report.<\/p>\n

“When I\u2019m in, I\u2019m all-in, and you wanna ride with offseason workouts?” Rodgers told The Athletic. “I won MVP without doing offseason workouts. Like, was my commitment any less then? I\u2019d say not at all. The way that I come back to work, not just physically in good shape but mentally refreshed, is the best thing for me to have the season I wanted to have during those in Green Bay.<\/p>\n

“I think that\u2019s just a cop-out written to try and find something to disparage me about that, honestly. When you know what offseason workouts are really about, it\u2019s completely ridiculous.”<\/p>\n

Several months ago, Rodgers was reportedly supposed to have a face-to-face meeting with Gutekunst in California<\/a>. Rodgers claims a date or time was never established for a meeting.<\/p>\n

Rodgers again cited the limited cellular coverage<\/a> at his Southern California home in response to Gutekunst’s statement that he attempted to contact the quarterback “many times” during the offseason.<\/p>\n

“I have zero or one bar at the house, so you call me \u2014 sometimes it goes through, most of the time it drops and doesn\u2019t go through,” Rodgers told The Athletic. “Everybody who knows me, when I\u2019m out west, they know that\u2019s how to get a hold of me.”<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old signal-caller added that he tried to get in touch with Gutekunst before he entered his darkness retreat. He also acknowledged Gutekunst would sometimes text him, and he would return those messages.<\/p>\n

“Did Brian text me more than I texted him? Yeah, but did I ghost him? No,” Rodgers said. “I texted him back. There was back-and-forths that we had, and so this is the story you wanna go with? You\u2019re gonna stand on this hill of austerity and say that arguably in the conversation of the best player in your franchise history, you\u2019re gonna say I couldn\u2019t get a hold of him and that\u2019s why we had to move on?”<\/p>\n

So far this offseason, Rodgers has been present for all of the Jets’<\/a> practices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
