“Inappropriate Tabloid Coverage: NFL Star Aaron Rodgers Deserves Better”

Aaron Rodgers’ ego trip has become increasingly bizarre.

In the Pat McAfee show, the quarterback finally spoke plainly and revealed that he wants to go to the New York Jets after months of unspeakable fooling around – but this appearance is just the next chapter in an undignified gossip theatre.

For a few years now, the NFL superstar has been increasingly dismantling himself. What Rodgers has been doing since the end of the season and his Green Bay Packers is demanding is the crowning glory.

Since January 9, when the ex-MVP and his team blew their last chance at the playoffs, his future has been a constant topic – fueled by Rodgers’ non-statements!

end of career? Packers sequel? Or switch to another team? Speculations have been rampant for months. (SERVICE: The NFL’s biggest trades and hottest rumours SPORTS1-Transferticker)

Because Rodgers took his time leaving the Packers in the dark.

That was granted to him. But: First of all, it’s not the first time that the quarterback has done this egg dance in the offseason. And secondly, one fact clearly shows how absurd this whole discussion is: Just a year ago, the 39-year-old signed a new contract in Green Bay for a period of three years and a salary of $150 million.

If the Packers thought that would have him safe and sound for three years, they were completely mistaken. Because Rodgers is doing theater again despite the mega salary – that’s outrageous and selfish.

Me, me, me – obviously Rodgers is only about himself. Apart from his immense salaries, which have made it difficult for the Packers to get top-class help for him for years, this was most clearly shown when he fabulated that he could do it become MVP again instead of perhaps aiming for a team success like the Super Bowl.

In addition, he has been torpedoing the future plans of his Packers for months. While Rodgers pondered his future and raised eyebrows with his four-day retreat into complete darkness after corona vaccinations and questionable drug statements, his team was completely in limbo.

But Rodgers now wants to pass the buck to the team: After his darkroom stunt, the Packers decided to go into the future without him.

The fact that he then told Green Bay last Friday – just two days before the start of the all-important free agency – that he should be traded to the Jets (one year after the 150 million contract!) is still above all one: outrageous.

Especially since Rodgers is still subliminally complaining that Green Bay is playing too hard with the Jets. Clarification: With the quarterback’s public statement, the Packers now have an incredibly bad negotiating position because the Jets already know that the superstar only wants to play for them. So they don’t need to offer much in return.

In addition, Rodgers pushes the team, in which he became a legend and Super Bowl winner, in front of the bus in another respect: Due to the current Giga contract, the Packers are staying on a trade sea Over The Cap on a 40 million hole in the salary cap sit.

They are not allowed to spend this money on salaries in the next one to two years. Means: Rodgers also torpedoed the future of the team with his ego loss and slowed down the restart with successor Jordan Love.
