Report: Aaron Rodgers blew off calls from Packers!

The Boston Globe

While we await the next step in the ongoing Aaron Rodgers saga, there’s been an incredible new development with the Green Bay Packers telling their side of the story. According to them, Rodgers completely blew them off this offseason! 

According to Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst, his calls to Rodgers went unanswered while saying he attempted to reach out “many times”. 

“Those never transpired,” Gutekunst explained from the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix.

“So we went through his representatives to try to talk to him (about) where were we going with our team,” Gutekunst added. “At that point, they informed us that he would like to be traded to the Jets.”

“Our inability to reach him or for him to respond in any way,” continued. “I think at that point, I had to do my job and kind of reach out (to other teams) and understand that a trade could be possible and see who was interested.”

Rodgers himself has not been shy about stating his desire to suit up for the New York Jets this season, but explained during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” that it was the Packers who were holding things up. 

In the meantime, it certainly appears as though we’ve entered the official start of the Jordan Love era with the Packers.

JUST IN: Aaron Rodgers traded to Detroit Lions!

The Mirror

Aaron Rodgers is going to be staying in the NFC North Division after all! He was traded this afternoon to the rival Detroit Lions, ending speculation about his potentially joining the New York Jets! The move was announced by team management today during a press conference in…..

….okay, we’re just kidding. Happy April Fool’s Day! 

Rodgers is still very much expected to eventually be wearing the green uniform of the Jets, with a deal to New York that “could happen as early as this week” according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer: 

“I think it’ll happen sooner than people think because I don’t think things between the Packers and Jets are in nearly as bad a place as some seem to believe they are,” Breer wrote in his recent mailbag piece for SI. “We mentioned earlier in the week the rapport between GMs Joe Douglas and Brian Gutekunst from their time coming up as young road scouts. The two head coaches, Robert Saleh and Matt LaFleur, are best friends. So any raw feelings between Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, I think, are manageable, because of the relationships in place.”

Aaron Rodgers reveals the secret of his recent dominance

Aaron Rodgers just revealed his secret about his recent dominance in the NFL: he improved his mental health thanks to the ayahuasca plant.

Rodgers said in a podcast that his psychological experience in South America three years ago and the consumption of this plant, which contains dimethyltryptamine (DMT), helped him learn to love himself and made him progress on a human level.

He says it’s no coincidence that he had the best season of his career with the Green Bay Packers, despite being 38 years old, and that he won the league’s MVP award in 2020 and 2021.

Aaron Rodgers’ goal in speaking out in this way about the ayahuasca plant, which is taken in the form of a drink, is to change negative stereotypes about the use of this product.

“I think there are so many myths and rumors about this plant. The fear around it is huge. It’s just a big puke fest…” he said via theAubrey Marcus podcast

In short, Aaron Rodgers is keen to point out that ayahuasca gives the profound possibility of regaining true self-love, while curing several psychological disorders.

Aaron Rodgers will start his 17th season with the Green Bay Packers on September 11th against the Minnesota Vikings.
