Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo Aaron Rodgers just went in on Sean Payton in a sitdown with @PSchrags on NFL+. It ended with Rodgers saying Payton needs to “keep my coach’s name out of his mouth.”

We'll see how much you like the quiet when you can't find a good QB for a decade or 2 and are constantly fighting to reach . 500

I bet you'll be missing that "chucklehead" before the season is over 😂

Lol. Yeah you could be right.

The thing is, people here have been mentally preparing for life without Rodgers for a long time, football wise. And whatever his stats might say, those of us who have watched every game since he's been in the league have seen the decline. We've seen the unwillingness to adjust his game to accommodate the changes in his body.

What the last 5 years but particularly the least 2 years have made apparent is that Rodgers was never going to win another championship here. And no matter what happens, we were only a couple short years from moving on from him anyway. This just allowed us to have that happen at least somewhat on our own terms.

If he manages to win one with the Jets, more power to him. If he manages to win one I wonder if he'll ponder at all whether showing up for OTAs, working with the front office instead of ignoring them, and taking a gigantic pay cut had a role in the success.

People here don't take what Rodgers gave us for granted. He's one of my favorite players ever. And I don't expect we'll ever know what all happened behind closed doors. But the relationship with the Packers and Rodgers had got to the point that he was only in it for himself and that was never going to result in success. In fact it resulted in one of the worst seasons in recent memory last year. Most of us know that might be coming football wise and we're excited that we at least won't have the drama.
