Aaron Rodgers is a polarizing figure—even in Minnesota. He apparently wants out of Green Bay (or so he says) and Purple Nation is hanging on every word. We discussed it this past week on our podcast VikingsTerritory Breakdown, and I came out on the opposite side of the discussion with Breakdown co-host Joe Johnson and our guest, Sally Haag. And, of course, with all things A-Rodge, it requires more discussion and speculation.
Joe Johnson wrote a story on the issue this week and characterized our discussion this way:
“VT Breakdown co-host Joe Oberle disagreed with Haag and I that the team had mishandled things from the jump by not informing Rodgers that they were drafting his replacement as a courtesy the same way the Vikings reportedly gave Kirk “Not Aaron Rodgers” Cousins the same courtesy before drafting Kellen Mond in April.
