You know, I’ve been meaning to talk to him for a while and I’m glad to get the opportunity to say some things to him. Because I’ve always respected his game and been a fan of his game, I think he has a really unique skill set.”

“You know, obviously it hasn’t been a great year there in Philly. I think there’s a lot of factors around him that that contribute to that. So I feel like there’s good comfort, good, quick conversation. And definitely wish him the best the rest of the year because I’ve been a fan of his since he got in the league and he’s had some tough circumstances over his few years in the league and I hope things work out for him,” Rodgers said on the show.
