There’s still no movement on the situation between Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. He didn’t report for the team’s mandatory minicamp earlier in the week, and the Packers haven’t given any clues about what they have done or plan to do to get him back on the field.  So in the absence of any new information (or any information he wanted to share), Packers president Mark Murphy broke out an old quote from the late, legendary Packers GM Ted Thompson to describe Rodgers at a Lambeau… Source link
