Packers Huddle

So he didn't show up for workouts. Anyone else think he is a hypocrite lecturing people about "unity" when he can't get along with the employer who has paid him, what, $250 million?

I mean, I don't think it's news that he's not at OTAs... other reporters have literally mentioned that Jordan was "the only guy in the room," though I know they just entered some new phase. But no one expected him there for anything voluntary, right?

What are these unity lectures?

players understand why Rodgers is pissed off, if you where a player you would to, but your not and like most fans don't give a hoot, all we care about is winning, in that sense you should be begging Rodgers to come back just as Lafluer his coach is, cause with out Rodgers winning will be much harder.

and he's not the only QB to pocket 250 mil. FFS Cousins just got a 4 year contract will all the money guaranteed.

plus Rodgers is just as united to other players aqs anyone else on the team.

Aaron can play the guitar

Am I crazy or is he playing both right and left handed?

It's due to the phone's front vs. rear camera settings. Look at the guitar's cutaway; if he was playing both ways, the cutout would be on the "wrong" side half the time.

Sounds like other players are skipping OTA's too.

Anyone know why this is? I would think it would be beneficial for these players to practice together right? And yet literally every veteran complains about them. I don't understand why they hate OTA's so much. They must feel they can train better on their own I guess.

I think the first shoe to drop will be the mandatory mini-camp for the Rodgers story.

The NFLPA encouraged players to boycott voluntary offseason programs and some full teams wrote letters saying they would do as such; but most who have started indicated high attendance. The James injury in Denver happening away from the team facilities and thus voiding his guarantees was a wake-up call to many that the risk isn't worth sending a message. The boycott, I think, is to complain about the 17-week season change, but I actually haven't really followed it.

There is a sense that veteran players don't like OTAs because it gives younger players more of an opportunity to develop more quickly and force older players out of the league and off of rosters. This was the same mentality that caused veteran minimum contracts to be counted less against the salary cap than they are actually paid, in order to level the playing field for cheap roster spots in a hard-capped world.

for the vets, OTAs are football 101. And after a few years of it, they'd rather be with their families & friends vs what gets accomplished at those sessions. Maybe there should be (2) offseason schedules - one for the guys in year 1-3 (plus any new FAs) and then another schedule for the guys with 4+ years.

It's just getting really hard for me to support these players and all their demands.

Like I'm all for labor rights but good lord.

True. The NFL players in the 1940's didn't have the mini camps.and OTA's like they do now (which the off season has already been pulled back ridiculously) but those guys also were paid like part-time EE's.

I mean there is. The vets get a lot of days off on these offseason training programs by the coaches. But it's also nice to have the vets around at least somewhat to start team building and chemistry building.

I don't understand how these guys can gel as a unit only with the limited practice time during August.

Is it so much to ask these players and their families to actually live where they work like every other human being basically has to do? (well before and hopefully after Covid at least)

Like i am temporarily working remote still for my Minneapolis firm in Cincy and honestly I can see the struggles I am going to have as we start opening up here and I am still on an island fully remote.

OTA's are when new plays are installed, that way players have video of the walk throughs with these installs and can visualize and work on them and be more prepared when training camp starts, missing the installs puts a player behind, true they are more important for younger players and UFA, but all players would benefit and help the team if present.

Well today is just another indicator that the Rodgers saga is still in “toss up” territory. All outcomes are all viable.

The limits of "anything is possible" vaguery has yet to be observed

That’d be a lot of douchiness for one relationship.

Who's waiting up to watch a taped interview with Rodgers that will reveal nothing? Yep, me neither. Night.
