Aaron Rodgers has been keeping fans in the dark for a while now. While the man in question embarked on a ‘darkness retreat’ himself, the NFL world may be feeling like they’ve joined him on one as well. While the Packers QB seems to have the patience of a saint, the same can’t be said for fans. But now, the speculation has reached its all-time high.

Over the last few weeks, Rodgers has been a man in demand. But the New York Jets have been at the front and center of discussion. As Rodgers’ potential top landing spot, the discussions among fans concerning his potential move have been intense. And when one particular question about the Packers squad’s lack of motivation to convince the QB to stay was raised, one player had a fiery comeback. And his response may indicate that Green Bay shouldn’t be discounted from Rodgers’ future just yet.

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are sending out mixed signals

ESPN Milwaukee’s Gary Ellerson posed a question online. He asked, “Just thinking bout all these Jets players asking 12 to come join them in New York on social media. Why aren’t 12 teammates asking him to stay here? “ The Jets have been championing Rodgers and have not been subtle in indicating that the QB’s presence in New York is something they want. However, Packers CB Rasul Douglas defended his teammates and said, “Because we have his number. We can actually text him instead of writing it on social media. As our leader he knows how each person on the roster feels about him.” His response makes sense.

Why would the Packers squad ask Rodgers to stick around through social media when they can approach the man himself? It was a field day on Twitter for Packers Nation after the CB took matters into his hands. Douglas, who may have made fans’ day with his social media responses, claimed to have Rodgers’ phone.

He then proceeded to ask fans what he should tweet out from the QB’s account so that they know it’s true. However, a layer of intrigue was added to the situation when Rodgers’ official handle tweeted out the Packers CB’s nickname with laughing emojis.

Douglas responded by saying “I told y’all I have his phone,” with a string of emojis, alluding to his previous tweet about having the QB’s phone. While the entire situation is quite hilarious, what should the NFL world make of these mixed signals?

Rodgers may have patience, but that is not fans’ forte
