The news of Aaron Rodgers wanting out of Green Bay took the world by storm on draft night. Just hours before the 2021 NFL Draft, news broke out of the 2020 NFL MVP not wishing to remain at Green Bay for much longer.

The quarterback is yet to publicly state that that is indeed the case. But his action are currently speaking louder than his words. Vacationing in Hawaii and not turning up for OTAs or mandatory minicamp, Rodgers is clearly holding out.

Theismann said he was surprised with how the Packers have navigated through the scenario themselves. Not giving Rodgers the assurance he needs was indeed something baffling.

“I just couldn’t understand the organization a couple of months ago with the Packers coming out and saying, ‘Aaron Rodgers is our quarterback for the foreseeable future’. Are you kidding me?”

He then went on state just what he would’ve done had he been in charge of the scenario.

“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. 

I mean, if you look at the numbers that some of the guys are getting that haven’t done near as much as he is. I think he deserves more. No, I know that more than what he’s getting,” he added.
