Aaron Rodgers: Tension with Packers caused by culture, not Jordan Love

Aaron Rodgers appeared on “SportsCenter” Monday night to explain his desire to leave Green Bay, saying that his frustration with the Packers had nothing to do with Jordan Love. 

“With my situation, look it’s never been about the draft pick, picking Jordan,” Rodgers told Kenny Mayne. “I love Jordan; he’s a great kid. [We’ve had] a lot of fun to work together. Love the coaching staff, love my teammates, love the fan base in Green Bay. An incredible 16 years.”

The Packers traded up to draft Love in the first round of the 2020 draft and there has long been speculation that it caused tension between Rodgers and the team. But according to the three-time MVP, the falling out is caused by a change in Green Bay’s culture as a franchise.

“It’s just kind of about a philosophy and maybe forgetting that it is about the people that make the thing go,” Rodgers said. “It’s about character, it’s about culture, it’s about doing things the right way.”

Rodgers’ frustration mainly seems to be towards Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst, as he reportedly said he would not return to Green Bay if Gutekunst was still with the team. For now, the Packers have said they are committed to keeping Rodgers and have not entertained any trade talks.
