The Green Bay Packers are one of the top-notch sports organizations, and the fans will always demand nothing but greatness and championships.
But there haven’t been that many parades or silverware in Wisconsin as of late, unless you’re talking about Aaron Rodgers’ multiple MVPs.
So, as the years go by and the Packers continue to fall short of their aspirations, losing Rodgers seems like less of a nightmare for the fans and the organization alike.
Rodgers is once again hinting at possibly leaving the team, perhaps looking for even more money after signing one of the largest deals in league history.
That has been his MO for the past couple of years, so the organization may not buy his bluff this time around.
But even if he leaves, Rodgers admits there would be no hard feelings or resentment toward the Packers after all they’ve been through.
Rodgers told Pat McAfee that he’s never even thought of himself wearing another uniform, not even when the Packers drafted Jordan Love back in 2020.

“Listen, I have never been a free agent, which is pretty wild,” Rodgers said. “I’ve never gotten to the end of my contract. So, to even think about being in another uniform never really crossed my mind.”
However, the years continue to go by, and the Packers have gotten worse, not better.
They’ve gathered plenty of young talent, and there’s a chance they will go back to their winning ways in the future, but Rodgers may not want to wait for that to happen at this point in his career.
So, all things considered, this might as well be Rodgers’ final chapter in Lambeau Field.
It’s been a great ride, but both parties might want to move on.
