“You know, me, you know what I’m all about. I love my teammates, love competing and I do love practice. I love to go out and give it to the young corner when I can. And get after these guys talk a little smack,” said Rodgers with a smile on his face. 

For Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers to mend ways, a lot of work needs to be done. A patch job at best, the current agreement between the two parties will see the QB remain till the end of next season.
