Last season’s MVP had a fallout with the team’s front office which prompted them to rework the QBs contract and pay heed to multiple other demands.

One of these included a trade involving former Packers receiver Randall Cobb. Cobb, who was on the Houston Texans’ roster was brought in by the franchise upon Rodgers’ request.
