While some Packers fans are rallying behind Rodgers, some believe that no one is above the team. While everyone would want Rodgers to be back, his decision to hold out has garnered mixed reactions.
Murphy also said that the team is trying its best to ensure that Aaron Rodgers returns for 2021. But his latest comments might not spark much enthusiasm in Rodgers to return.

“I’m often reminded though of Ted Thompson, as most of you know, just a great general manager, passed away… earlier this year. (He) often talked about Aaron, that he’s a comp — and it wasn’t just Aaron, a lot of different players,” Murphy said.
“He would say ‘He’s a complicated fella.’ So, I’ll just say that,” he added as reported by NBC 26.
