Opinion: Aaron Rodgers' fractured relationship with Packers leaves slimmest of hope for repair

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers shouldn't be here.

The 16-year marriage between one of the most storied franchises and greatest quarterbacks in NFL history shouldn’t have reached the point where it dangles by a thread just months after Rodgers earned MVP honors for a third time.

But here they are: Rodgers unhappy and wanting out, per multiple reports, and the Packers as a result teetering, with general manager Brian Gutekunst in danger of committing one of the most egregious displays of mismanagement in sports since Jerry Krause broke up Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls.

All good things come to an end.
