“Honestly, it’s not even something that we truly talk about like that. It’s just, everybody’s been dialed into what they got to do. There’s enough to worry about with themselves than to be going and worrying about what other guys are doing and what their situation is like, especially when we can’t control any of that,” Adams told Fox News. “I think everybody’s mindset, everybody is going to love Aaron the same way when he returns, and obviously it’s been a little bit of a confusing situation but there hasn’t been any negative talk or anything like that. Everybody’s behind him.”

It would be more than reasonable for the players to discuss the matter. Although it’s not something they will waste their energy on in the locker room. In other words, the players are allowing Rodgers and the front office to sort it out.
Adams’ comments ring clearly that the players are only controlling what they can control, which is preparing for the upcoming season. At the same time, the team has a strong desire for Rodgers to be back, but that is a decision only the three-time league MVP will make.
Time will tell what will unfold in the coming weeks.
