Things can change quickly in a year.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers returned to the team for training camp after an offseason full of speculation about his future and discontent with the franchise that became public. Things were so fractured, that Rodgers was already making plans for a post-Packers future.
“Last year at this time, I was looking at the season as my last year in Green Bay,” Rodgers told NBC Sports.
Rodgers’ has been open about his issues with the Packers front office and has lobbied in recent weeks to have some former players brought back to the organization, such as receiver Randall Cobb, a close friend of Rodgers’ whom the team traded for July 28.
