The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... CEO Mark Murphy, appearing Monday on The 5th Quarter Show on WNFL in Green Bay, addressed quarterback Aaron Rodgers‘ recent comments suggesting uncertainty regarding his future with the team. “We’re not idiots,” Murphy said. “Aaron Rodgers will be back, he’s our leader.”
Diehards Line:
Of course, as PFT noted, Rodgers is a leader that they undermined and confused by adding his apparent eventual replacement last year, using a first-round pick and a fourth-round pick to acquire quarterback Jordan Love. At a minimum, Rodgers would like clarity as to whether the team plans to flip the switch from Rodgers to Love next year, the year after, or the year after that. ... That's something we're likely to hear more about -- perhaps on a daily basis -- until that clarity comes.
