What's gone wrong between Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers?
The date was Aug. 30, 2018 one day after Aaron Rodgers signed a record contract extension worth $134 million with the Green Bay Packers that ran through the 2023 season. That day was largely celebratory on the part of the quarterback and the team, except for one ominous remark: "I don't think this guarantees anything other than maybe the first three years of the deal," Rodgers said. Three years later, Rodgers and the Packers have reached that point. And neither side is in a good place. Now, coming off an MVP season, the third of his career. The balance of power has seemingly shifted back to Rodgers, who had this to say on the day his extension was announced: "I want to go out and prove that I'm still an elite player in this league, and if I do that then I'll feel good. I've got the opportunity to finish my career in Green Bay, but I'm definitely not arrogant in the mindset that it would never happen to me. It happened to [Brett Favre], it can happen to any of us." Here's a look at the events, from that point until now, that have brought Rodgers and the Packers to the brink of separation:

Will Aaron Rodgers leave the Green Bay Packers? The latest news and rumors
Aaron Rodgers has had a Hall of Fame career with the Green Bay Packers, but it's possible that his time with one of the NFL's most storied franchises is coming to an end. Sources have told ESPN that Rodgers is so disgruntled with the organization that he's considering the unthinkable, leaving Green Bay. Rodgers, 37, is still under contract with the Packers, so they'd have to agree to trade him, and by the looks of it they don't want to do that. Rodgers remains one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, with three MVP awards, nine Pro Bowl selections, and a Super Bowl title and MVP award under his belt. He'd instantly make any NFL team a contender, but his price would be steep, and that's assuming he doesn't come to some kind of understanding with the Packers in the meantime, or decide to retire and perhaps pursue hosting "Jeopardy!" full time.

With situation unchanging, Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur reiterates desire for Aaron Rodgers to stay
Nothing has changed in Aaron Rodgers standoff with the Packers, and nothing has changed in the way the team feels about its quarterback either. In fact, Matt LaFleur doubled down on his desire to continue coaching the reigning NFL MVP. The Packers have maintained that they have no plans to trade Rodgers. In the meantime, LaFleur and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett have been busy with their other quarterbacks. Rodgers has not been taking part in the Packers' offseason program, which has been virtual, and he is not expected to show up when organized team activities start May 24. LaFleur said he asked his position coaches to poll the veteran players asking who might come to the voluntary workouts, but he did not share the results of the query.

What do some NFL execs think of Aaron Rodgers’ trade value? It's more debatable than you might expect
Since the NFL draft, Aaron Rodgers' has been hypothetically traded hundreds of times. In media dreamcasting, he has been dealt for a mountain of draft assets and a bushel of talented players, all to a litany of teams that need him and even a few that don’t. In a way his future destination has become the new mock draft. And the scenarios are getting cranked out despite Rodgers total silenceand zero indication that the Green Bay Packers are going to budge on Rodgers playing anywhere else next season. That doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of experienced opinions about Rodgers’ trade value across the NFL, coming from people who have worked extensively on their own large-scale trades. With that in mind, we asked six high-level front office executives to offer their analysis of Rodgers’ realistic trade value in the event that the quarterback and the Packers can’t hash out their differences.

As Aaron Rodgers saga drags on, Jordan Love continues on path that Packers admit has ‘a long way to go’
A year removed from selecting Jordan Love and knocking over the first domino that now has the Green Bay Packers wondering if quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be back under center this season. Brian Gutekunst was recalling the night he’d traded up for the former Utah State quarterback. It was the first day of the 2021 NFL draft. Several hours before the Jacksonville Jaguars were going on the clock with the first overall pick, Rodgers’ private displeasure with the Packers had spilled into public view via an ESPN report. As a result, Gutekunst, the Packers fourth-year general manager, wound up fielding more draft-night questions about the situation with the three-time MVP than queries about this year’s first-round pick, Georgia cornerback Eric Stokes. Rodgers has already missed the early portions of the team’s voluntary offseason program, something he’s never skipped in the past and he’s not expected to attend this week’s first organized team activity practices, including Tuesday’s, which will be open to select media but closed to the public.The team’s mandatory full-squad minicamp kicks off on June 8, and Rodgers, who spent the past week vacationing in Hawaii with fiancee Shailene Woodley, isn’t expected to show up for those practices, either even though he would be subject to fines if absent.

Aaron Rodgers: Issue with Green Bay Packers about philosophy, not Jordan Love
Aaron Rodgers' issue with the Green Bay Packers isn't their drafting of quarterback Jordan Love but rather about an organizational philosophy that he believes has gone awry. That's the story Rodgers told Monday night in an appearance on SportsCenter to commemorate Kenny Mayne's final show on ESPN. It was the first public explanation for how the standoff between him and his team reached this point. While Rodgers admitted that things changed significantly last year when general manager Brian Gutekunst traded up to draft Love, Rodgers' potential replacement, he suggested his beef was more with how Gutekunst handled it. "With my situation, look it's never been about the draft pick, picking Jordan," Rodgers told Mayne. "I love Jordan; he's a great kid. [We've had] a lot of fun to work together. Love the coaching staff, love my teammates, love the fan base in Green Bay. An incredible 16 years. It's just kind of about a philosophy and maybe forgetting that it is about the people that make the thing go. It's about character, it's about culture, it's about doing things the right way." Rodgers, 37, is coming off his third MVP award. He believes by playing so well last year when he led the Packers to a 13-3 record and a berth in the NFC Championship Game for the second straight season he altered the Packers' plans to move on from him. Gutekunst has admitted that he should have communicated better with Rodgers before he traded up to take Love at No. 26 in the 2020 draft.

Still optimistic Green Bay Packers can 'get him back in the building,' coach Matt LaFleur unfazed after Aaron Rodgers' ESPN interview
Count Matt LaFleur among the many who watched his quarterback Monday night in Kenny Mayne's final SportsCenter, but it didn't change anything in the mind of the Green Bay Packers' coach. "Aaron definitely knows how we feel about him, how he's such an important part to our football team, such an important part to our organization," LaFleur said Tuesday. "We're just going to continue to try to work through this and hopefully can get him back in the building at some point." Rodgers wasn't in the building or on the practice field for either of the first two OTA sessions that began this week, and LaFleur tried to keep the focus on the players who were. In all, 79 of 89 players on the roster were in attendance Tuesday during the first session that was open to the media. Jones, who re-signed with the Packers for four years and $48 million shortly before free agency began, said Rodgers never gave him any indication that he would not be back this season. Even if he had, Jones said it likely would not have influenced his decision to re-sign.

Green Bay Packers president says Aaron Rodgers situation has divided fan base
The Green Bay Packers still don't have a solution to the Aaron Rodgers situation, but they know what it has done to their fans. "The situation we face with Aaron Rodgers has divided our fan base," Packers president Mark Murphy wrote in his monthely column published Saturday on the team website. "The emails and letters that I've received reflect this fact." It has been more than a month since news of Rodgers' beef with the organization became public in a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Last month, Murphy acknowledged it is an issue the Packers have been working on with Rodgers and his agent, David Dunn, for "several months." Rodgers has skipped the Packers' offseason program, forfeiting a $500,000 workout bonus. If he skips next week's mandatory minicamp, which begins Tuesday, he would be subject to a fine of $93,085. At this point, it has been a mixed reaction in the NFL's smallest city: those who want Rodgers back at any cost and those who are upset with a player who no longer wants to be part of their team.

Packers don't hold back any of offense because it's Jordan Love at QB1
One bad, one good and one somewhere in the middle.Such were Jordan Love's three days as QB1 in the Green Bay Packers ' mandatory minicamp.That much could be seen by anyone inside the gates at Clarke Hinkle Field. But what only those in the huddle knew was how much of coach Matt LaFleur's offense Love actually had to work with.Did LaFleur and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett run a stripped-down version of their scheme and bring only a portion of their playbook with them to practice? “No, we installed our offense and kind of threw everything at him,” LaFleur said Thursday at the conclusion of the three-day camp. If it looked like Love was overwhelmed on Tuesday, when he struggled with accuracy and rarely threw the ball much beyond the line of scrimmage, then Wednesday was a 180. He hit receivers in stride down the field and showed poise during a successful two-minute drill.

Green Bay Packers 'have one plan' regardless of who plays quarterback, Matt LaFleur says
When the Green Bay Packers return for training camp next month, it will be with one approach. It doesn't matter whether it's Aaron Roggers or Jordan Love at quarterback.The Packers don't know if Rodgers will end his holdout and return to the team after an offseason in which he has stayed away from all team activities. Rodgers hasn't denied any of the reports, which began with ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting in April that Rodgers is so disenfranchised that he doesn't want to play for the Packers again. His only public comments indicated his issue is with management. Meanwhile, LaFleur dedicated the offseason to Love, who took the majority of the snaps in OTAs and last week at minicamp.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers 'thankful' for opportunity to work on mental health
Aaron Rodgers took a holistic approach to a very tumultuous offseason. During a news conference Monday, the Green Bay Packers quarterback spoke at length about the steps taken to improve and preserve his mental health amid questions about his long-term future with the NFL franchise. Rodgers, who is approaching his 17th year with the Packers, said he has focused on how to take care of his spiritual and mental states. Rodgers, 37, is in the midst of a very public rift between himself and the organization. The three-time MVP did not participate in the team's mandatory minicamp and missed Green Bay's offseason program. In his limited media comments this offseason, Rodgers has been cryptic regarding the reports that started when ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported on the situation minutes before the start of April's NFL draft.

Green Bay Packers GM Brian Gutekunst 'remains hopeful' for positive resolution with QB Aaron Rodgers
The Green Bay Packers haven't said whether they think Aaron Rodgers will show up Tuesday when veteran players are required to report for training camp, but they talked Monday like they believe there's a chance he will play for them this season. Rodgers has been largely silent since ESPN's Adam Schefter broke the news of the quarterback's state of disgruntlement with the team In the longest interview he's granted since then, Rodgers mentioned several times to Kenny Mayne during his final SportsCenter show in May that he thinks an organization should be about people. Rodgers is under contract through the 2023 season but skipped all offseason activities, including the team's mandatory minicamp in June. That allowed the Packers to get second-year quarterback Jordan Love, the team's first-round pick in 2020, ready in case Rodgers does not play this season.

Green Bay Packers' preseason to be Jordan Love's show as Aaron Rodgers likely to sit out
The Green Bay Packers' 2021 preseason will be the Jordan Love show. Coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that quarterback Aaron Rodgers will "most likely not" play at all in the preseason. That likely has little or nothing to do with Rodgers' offseason, in which he voiced concerns about the organization and skipped the entire spring program. Rodgers simply hasn't played much at all in recent preseasons. For Love, it will be his first game action of any kind since Jan. 25, 2020, in the Senior Bowl. The Packers' 2020 first-round pick did not play at all as a rookie. In fact, he never even suited up. He was inactive for all 16 regular-season games plus both playoff games last season. The closest thing Love has come to playing as a pro to date was Saturday's practice at Lambeau Field in front of 34,835 fans who braved the rain for the annual Family Night. Love mishandled the ball three times, twice on snaps from undrafted rookie center Jacob Capra and another time on a fumble during a scramble. However, Love also flashed some arm strength that hasn't been seen all that often in his two NFL summer camps to date. He pushed the ball deep down the field on a pass that receiver Reggie Begelton couldn't quite bring in, but it was perhaps the best deep ball Love has thrown since he's been here.

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love: Wasn't stunned by Aaron Rodgers' COVID-19 diagnosis
After two of the Green Bay Packers three quarterbacks tested positive for COVID-19 this week, Jordan Love feared he would be next. But Love has tested negative each of the past three days and on Friday said, "I'm confident that I'm good right now." Love is scheduled to make his first NFL start Sunday at the Kansas City Chiefs, while starter Aaron Rodgers and third-stringer Kurt Benkert remain on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Love spoke Friday for the first time since Rodgers' diagnosis, wearing a mask at the Lambeau Field podium as part of what he said were extra precautions this week. Love told reporters that he is fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers says he didn't lie, details decision to not get vaccinated
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he did not lie when discussing his vaccination status, has followed almost all protocols for unvaccinated players and explained his reasoning for not getting one of the traditional COVID-19 vaccines before this season. Rodgers tested positive for COVID on Wednesday, is considered unvaccinated by the NFL and NFL Players Association and is in a 10-day minimum quarantine that will keep him out of the Green Bay Packers game Sunday at the Kansas City Chiefs. When asked in August whether he was vaccinated, Rodgers said, "Yeah, I've been immunized." Rodgers, 37, said that because of his allergy, the only option for one of the approved vaccines was the Johnson & Johnson shot, which he said he was not comfortable taking because of reports of side effects.
