The Facts: Rodgers would like more inclusion when the Packers are making major personnel decisions that impact him. Whether he speaks those words directly or publicly remains to be seen, but it’s a reality weighing on the quarterback as he moves forward in contract extension negotiations, according to multiple league sources who spoke with Yahoo Sports.

Diehards Line:While the relationship between Rodgers and the Packers isn’t in total disrepair, two league sources familiar with the quarterback’s mindset described him as both “frustrated” and “emotional” over a lack of communication from the front office prior to some significant decisions this offseason. Specifically, the sources said Rodgers has lingering discontent being completely cut out of discussions that resulted in the departures of wideout Jordy Nelson and QBs coach Alex Van Pelt. And it apparently is entering his thought process when it comes to his next contract extension. “Both of those decisions [with Nelson and Van Pelt] were made without him,” one league source close to Rodgers told Yahoo's Charles Robinson. “In both situations, he had no influence with [the front office] before anything went down.” With extension progress still apparently slow, any friction between Rodgers and the franchise could become accentuated in the coming months. Particularly with Rodgers entering the sixth year of a seven-year contract that has him vastly underpaid at his position. ... It's worth watching.
