Are we saying he should have just lied?
"Obviously without Aaron, I don't think we would probably be pursuing that, but he's still a really good player," Gutekunst told reporters at Packers training camp Thursday. "Seeing him last night just kind of reminded me of what kind of impact he'll have in our locker room for our football team. This is a very important thing for Aaron, and that's why we did it."
"Having Randall Cobb in our building is a positive, there's no doubt about that," Gutekunst said, via NFL.com. "Not only as a player, but a person to our locker room, he's a positive, specifically to our quarterback, which is a very important piece of what we're trying to accomplish in 2021."
I have zero problems with this answer. It's the truth. Anyone muckraking to spin this into a negative didn't get the entire context. And this is going to be a problem all year... the media is going to love trying to pit them against each other every time either party opens their mouths.
