All the ups and downs, he considered retirement, was anxious about post 2021... and nothing has really changed, but he does have Cobb back.

6 months, and the Packers remain with total control of where Rodgers plays in 2022.

He gained nothing through all this.

He did say he really enjoyed this offseason. So he's got that going for him, which is nice.

In fairness, he made some succinct points from a veteran player's perspective. If we go by his word, certain things he said are admirable in that employees are underappreciated and many times coldly dismissed. It IS about people, and that far too often gets buried or omitted from the story. So in terms of his vote on the players' contract, I believe he has the health of the players union in mind when he speaks. He's bright enough and has been around long enough that nothing he said today was surprising. It's a player's perspective from a guy that's been around.

I think the fact that he knows mgmt really won't say any more worked to his advantage in the points he chose to make today. I think he's probably a bit disingenuous in what he said regarding leaks. He says there's wisdom in silence, which is true. But he said nothing about watching storylines run amok and silently being ok that it worked in his favor. Whether that makes him somehow complicit is debatable. He's not obligated to correct any record, but he sure didn't shy away from the subtle jabs on social media.

I see value in his effort. I think his head and his heart are probably in the right place. I hope both sides heed this stupid drama and make corrections accordingly. But I also can't help but wonder why he couldn't publicly say.."hey, guarantee more of my remaining years or let's cut this short." It was amid all the drama and unknowns and confusion and speculation that the dirtiness was able to rear it's head, and he should understand his own culpability in that way. He may not be a diva, but he sure didn't avoid using that card at times to his advantage.
