One of the most surprising details to surface from the Aaron Rodgers saga is the quarterback’s displeasure with how the team parted ways with an otherwise unremarkable player. Of course, we are referring to former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jake Kumerow.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the release of Kumerow prior to the start of the 2020 season did not sit well with Rodgers.
“This seems crazy, but one of the things that drove Rodgers nuts was when the organization released Jake Kumerow just a day after (Rodgers) praised him publicly,” reported Rapoport.
Kumerow was released during the final cut down following last year’s training camp.
