The glacial freeze between Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers appears to be thawing.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler appeared Monday on Get Up, saying the Packers are “hopeful” the reigning MVP reports to the team and have no plans to trade him.
“The Packers are hopeful. After asking around, I sense some encouragement out there from the Packers. I asked a source whether Rodgers’ comments breed optimism. They said, ‘I really hope so,'” Fowler said.
“So, this is a team that is waiting this out. There’s no clear-cut clarity here. They are just simply hoping for the best. They are not going to trade him. Now, I did ask around to some execs around the league asking if this situation has lost the locker room with his teammates. They said, ‘no.’ They believe it has not because they understand his business, they’re keeping it separate.”
Rodgers requested a trade earlier this offseason, citing a falling out with management. The issue has been simmering for more than a year, dating back to the Packers’ decision to use a first-round pick on Jordan Love in 2020.
