Rodgers, according to many, is still in the position to win championships. “It was just one of those situations where there were a couple of guys targeted that had just previously been picked… And so, we went with the best player at the time“, explained coach LeFleur while talking to ESPN Radio.

The 34-year-old has just ended his eighth Pro Bowl selection. He is a two-time league MVP and Super Bowl champion. Acknowledging that a change might become inevitable, Rodgers told reporters, “My sincere desire to start and finish with the same organization… may not be a reality at this point“.
