Rich Eisen just returned from the 2023 NFL Combine and he had a lot of rumors and bits of information that he heard while there.
Naturally, a lot of people were talking about Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. All signs seem to point to the former NFL MVP taking his talents elsewhere, though there have been conflicting reports about where, when, and why.
According to Eisen, he heard that whatever Rodgers might decide he wants, they already know for sure they’re done with him.
“The Packers sure hope Aaron Rodgers doesn’t want to come back,” said Eisen when running down a list of rumors he heard at the combine,” said Eisen. “They sure hope that when he comes up with his decision, it is ‘I wish to retire’ or ‘I wish to be traded elsewhere.’ They do not want his response to be ‘Let’s run it back.’
“When I say I heard that over and over and over again, it’s just like ‘You have no idea what’s going on over there.’
“I cannot sit here and say I have facts from ground zero in Wisconsin and, clearly, Rodgers has told you through his many appearances on McAfee’s show that nobody, like a very, very small subset of people know what he’s thinking. I’m saying, hot rumor at the combine is the Packers want an answer from Rodgers to be ‘No more.’ Cause I don’t think want to be the ones to end the relationship.”
Who knows what will happen with Rodgers and his next steps? All we do know is he’ll be sure to make a big deal out of it and then chastise everyone for caring so much about it.
