He did, later in his career. Many older vets do. Brandt talked about it recently.
With team approval?
I think if there had not been any media hype from Schefter about this and Rodgers and the team went about this issue quietly (I would argue they seemingly were planning g to), no one would give a second thought to him skipping minicamp. He didnāt have any off-season camp or anything last year and won MVP, does he really need it? No.
Has Rodgers really commented on this since Jan?
It appears he has commented on this to former(Kuhn and Jones?) and current (Adams?) players. Or they are BS ing.
Exactly Pike. Kuhn and Jones said they literally spoke to him directly. I seriously doubt those guys would speak out of line or speak for Rodgers unless he allowed it.
Or unless She allowed it.

What exactly have Kuhn, Jones, and Adams said? I don't recall any actually saying Rodgers said this or that. They all shared their thoughts on how they think this will resolve. None said Rodgers wants a trade, is never playing in GB again, etc... all that BS is coming from ESPN.

I think we can all agree that women cause like 90% of our problems.
Oh, and shhhhhhhhh.

Hawk, Kuhn and Jones said theyāve talked to Rodgers and believe the problem is fixable. Jones even went as far to say Rodgers will be at training camp. They didnāt say āRodgers wants me to tell everyoneā¦ā, but theyāre both essentially speaking for him in this context. Rodgers is so careful with everything he says and does, his friends donāt go rogue with discussing his business.
That's my point. If they are speaking on Rodger's behalf, their message is not the doom and gloom of this is the end, but more this will be resolved. That tells me Rodgers wants and plans to stay in GB, and is not demanding a trade - wanting Gutekunst or whoever fired - may sit the year - and all the other BS nat'l media suppositions that have so many in the fan base losing their shit.
Well.....according to Mike Silver.... 
Pretty sure Aaron Rodgers isn't tripping on the team president calling him a 'complicated fella.'

Pretty sure that the team cutting Jake Kumerow the day after Rodgers publicly proclaimed that the WR made the team bothered him a bit more.

Beyond the noise, the Rodgers-Packers situation is the same as it always has been and will be:

The Packers aren't trading him (at least not in 2021), and he can't trade himself.
So this isn't Madden?

I like his shirt! š¤£
Best shot he has at beating tb12 is back with his team
Iām offended.

Except Goldie. That girl is all right.
And now for something completely different ...
Which playerās performance in 2021 could make the biggest improvement to the teamās performance?
Iām going to say Deguara. A real Swiss Army knife kind of player. Iād like to see both he and Amari Rodgers get some of the plays Tyler Ervin did last year. Discuss amongst yourselves ...

He didnāt look that āNOT happyā to me. And Bradyās delivery was weak and obviously rehearsed. Thatās the best he could come up with?
My sense is they were all working hard to not be very subtle and Rodgers is leaning into the joke instead of being diplomatic.

In order:
1) Tonyan - I think he'll be even better than last year and Rodgers seems to actually trust him. He has a chance to be the best Packers TE in a long time.
2) Dillon - I liked J Will but he's not close to the caliber runner that Dillon is. He's a great compliment to what Jones can do. If the OL can hold it together, this run game could be special. I could see Jones and Dillon combining for 2,500 rushing/receiving yards.
3) Rodgers - he's a rookie so need to be careful with expectations but even 50 catches for 600 yards in the slot would be more slot production than we've had since Cobb. He'll add something to offense they just haven't had.
@RoyalWulff posted:Which playerās performance in 2021 could make the biggest improvement to the teamās performance?
Barnes or Campbell. Keke or Slaton.
Without a doubt, it's MLB first and maybe middle of D-line second.

No OTA's in 2011 either. That really hurt the offense. 
I thought it interesting when the team had Clark line up at DE instead of NT. Like many here have stated, I believe that a true NT would free up Clark to be more disruptive. Also I am hopeful that Keke can continue to improve and the defensive line becomes disruptive.

Vets who are on the bubble this year.
I do think that not showing up for any camps prior to training camp would have happened regardless of hurt feelings or contract status, but I don't agree with Acho that it's only about not showing up. Aaron Rodgers could have easily just gone on Pat McAfee and said "I don't need it, my teammates know that, the coaches know that, we didn't have it last year and I won the MVP" and there would be no drama. No one, besides Greg Jennings or Skip Bayless, would have any issue with that statement.

Acho is just one of many talking heads positing their theories. If itās wrong no one will remember, if itās right they look jeenyus.
Too much content these days.
No different from us talking heads on X4.
