I’m with Rodgers and I’m not.
I agree with him that this FO doesn’t get him a lot of help at RB, TE, and WR, whether through the draft or FA. And now to top it all off, he’s grossly underpaid (he was reportedly wanting a new deal back in January).
He’s right about the Packers’ 1st rd drafting habits, so he should be pissed about it:
--From 2006 through 2021, the Pack have had 16 first rd picks
--3 offensive players taken, OT B.Bulaga (2010), OT D.Sherrod (2011), QB J.Love (2020)
--zero offensive skill players (WOW)
--5 DBs, 3 LBs, 3 DTs, and 2 DEs
However, I disagree with how he’s gone about complaining. He was happy when he signed the big new extension in 2018, so it’s disingenuous to now complain about how little he’s being paid in the last 3 years of the deal (and that it’s a year to year deal for the Pack) b/c if he wanted long term security or higher pay in those last years, he could’ve negotiated that at the time. And now, this whole thing is blowing up publicly and he's looking spoiled.
Honestly, I think this whole thing is about Rodgers wanting a new contract.
