This move signaled the beginning of the end of Rodgers in Green Bay with the writing now on the wall. It’s apparent that the team is thinking about going in a different direction sooner rather than later. There are parallels with 2005 with when the team took Rodgers with Brett Favre still playing at a high level. Now Rodgers admits that he doesn’t know how much longer he’ll be with the Packers, even though LaFleur sees a long road ahead of the one-time Super Bowl champion with the team, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.
Yesterday Matt LaFleur said he sees Aaron Rodgers being with the Packers for “a really long time.” When asked how he would define a “long time,” Rodgers said: “I savor every moment, every season. … I don’t know what the future holds. I know I can control this year and my play and my approach and my attitude.”
