“The situation we face with Aaron Rodgers has divided our fan base”: Packers CEO Mark Murphy opens up about Aaron Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers’ situation with the Packers has dominated most of the NFL headlines this past month. The Packers have had to face the brunt of the bad press after the 37-year-old expressed his discontent with the organisation. But Mark Murphy seems committed to resolving things with Rodgers

The Aaron Rodgers debacle became public on draft day, and since then Rodgers has taken multiple subtle digs at the Packers front office. After failing to come to an agreement about a long-term deal for Rodgers in Green Bay, many have speculated that Rodgers will never play for Green Bay again.

But Mark Murphy and the Packers seem committed to resolving the situation with Rodgers.

Mark Murphy believes the situation with Rodgers is dividing the fan base.

Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy shared on Saturday that the ongoing saga has taken a toll on the Green Bay faithful.

“The situation we face with Aaron Rodgers has divided our fan base,” Murphy wrote in his monthly column for Packers.com. “The emails and letters that I’ve received reflect this fact. As I wrote here last month, we remain committed to resolving things with Aaron and want him to be our quarterback in 2021 and beyond. We are working to resolve the situation and realize that the less both sides say publicly, the better.”

Rodgers’ public display of displeasure was centered majorly around GM Brian Gutekunst. But Mark Murphy still has confidence in his General Manager.

“I have tremendous confidence in Brian Gutekunst,” he stated. “In his relatively short tenure as our GM, he has completely turned around the fortunes of our team. He has put together a talented team (last year we had the most players voted to the Pro Bowl) that has a 28-8 record over the last two years.

After consecutive losing seasons in 2017 and 2018, we have played in back-to-back NFC Championship games. Moreover, he has a great working relationship with Head Coach Matt LaFleur. He and EVP/director of football operations Russ Ball have managed our salary cap smartly and have us well-positioned for the future.”

The situation in Green Bay will dominate the offseason. Who starts for the Packers come week 1 will very interesting to see.
