Aaron Rodgers opened up on the recent layoffs
Aaron Rodgers mentioned, “This is livelihood, and as much as there’s criticism from outside the building, and some people probably think that this is warranted, and they’re excited about it. You’re talking about a person’s livelihood, a person’s life, feelings, ego, and memories. So a little sensitivity to that, I think, would go a long way because we’re talking about people. Not just numbers on the Jersey that you watch on Sundays, so definitely a feel for the people because this is something we all love doing and we want to play this for a long time.”

In contrast, here's LaFleur on cutting Amari Rodgers:
"That one hurts a lot … He did everything we asked him to do. He was a great teammate. He works his tail off. You could see him really growing just in terms of overall knowledge, but we are in a production-based business."

LaFleur said it hurt when they let Amari Rodgers go. The WR did everything they asked of him. He was a fantastic team player. Rodgers worked tirelessly. He appears to be advancing in terms of overall competence, but they work in a production-based sector.
