“I would be surprised if he’s a Green Bay Packer… I just think too much has been said,” he said.

“I don’t believe the last two years this contract are guaranteed. Immediately what I would have done with Aaron is given him a raise. Because I think he is undervalued when not not as valued as I believe he would be.
