Now that his 2022-2023 NFL season is over for the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers has once again decided to play games with the only franchise he’s ever played for.

Last year, he basically threatened to walk or retire from the game if he didn’t get his way. This year, Rodgers is threatening once again to walk away from the Packers, even after they paid him a huge contract to stay.

This Rodgers thing is starting to turn into Brett Favre 2.0. You know, before he started stealing from poor people in Mississippi (allegedly).

This back-and-forth is exactly what Favre did when seemingly wanted to retire or be traded at the end of every season towards the end of his time with the Packers. He took the team and fanbase hostage with his decision and Rodgers is about to do the same.

Rodgers said recently, yet again, that he doesn’t know if he plans to stay in Green Bay.

“I think I can win MVP again in the right situation,” Rodgers said. “Right situation, is that Green Bay or is that somewhere else? I’m not sure. But I don’t think you should shut down any opportunity. Like I said during the season, that’s got to be both sides actually wanting to work together moving forward, and I think there’s more conversations to be had.”

Dude, come on. Make up your mind. You basically cost your team a chance to make the playoffs because of your selfishness.  You lost your best wide receiver during the offseason, and your wide receivers were sub-par in part because you didn’t practice with them much during the offseason.

The Packers should have just dumped Rodgers last year when they had the chance. Sure, he was the reigning NFL MVP, but he is also a royal pain in the you-know-what. And this season was a huge drop-off for him, perhaps a sign of things to come.

Say what you want about Tom Brady, and there is a lot to say, but he put his teammates first. He took lesser money so he could surround himself with good players. That’s called sacrifice, something Rodgers has yet to learn.

But if Rodgers wants to leave, I say let him go. Trade him to a team like Indianapolis for their No. 1 draft pick and then draft either Bryce Young or C.J. Stroud. Because Rodgers’s diva-like behavior along with his game is getting old.
