Aaron Rodgers Rumors: Packers 'Encouraged' by Comments from QB's Former Teammates

The Green Bay Packers are reportedly "encouraged" by recent comments made by some of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' former teammates.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on SportsCenter, the Packers are hopeful that former fullback John Kuhn and wide receiver James Jones, who both keep in touch with Rodgers, are right about the situation between the quarterback and Green Bay being fixable.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported last month that Rodgers told some within the organization that he no longer wanted to play for the Packers. Among the reported reasons for his unhappiness was the fact that Green Bay selected quarterback Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft without consulting him first.
