The future Hall Of Fame quarterback made it known that he does not want to return to the team, and as of now remains true to his word.
Rodgers has said he loves his teammates and coaching staff, that despite head coach Matt LeFleur opting to kick a field goal late in the fourth quarter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship game.
Hoping for a field goal and then to get the football back from Tom Brady for a chance to win is just a low percentage decision.
It seemed half of the Detroit Lions fanbase was one hundred percent committed to Matthew Stafford; the other half felt the former first overall pick had plenty of chances to lead this organization on a playoff run.
As Mike Florio points out, perhaps Murphy is trying to stir the pot so Rodgers doesn’t return, which will save the organization $30-million this season.
As stated in the CBA, Rodgers can be fined $50,000 daily for missing the mandatory training camp.
