Communication breakdown. It's always the same.It had been clear for some time that a parting of ways would be happening between the Packers and their long-time franchise quarterback. Communication i sues following the 2022 season appear to be the catalyst behind the eventual split.In , Aaron Rodgers explained the multiple efforts to communicate with Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst during the offseason despite the GM insisting at the league meetings in March that the team had been unable to reach Rodgers. The 39-year-old quarterback said that while Gutekunst texted him more than he texted the GM, there was no truth to the idea he was ignoring him."Like, c'mon man. Just tell the truth, you wanted to move on," Rodgers told The Athletic. "You didn't like the fact that we didn't communicate all the time. Like, listen, I talk to the people that I like."MORE: The Athletic's report on the breakup between the Packers and Rodgers detailed communication woes that dated back to the team's decision to draft Jordan Love in 2020. The night Green Bay traded up to select Love 26th overall, Rodgers said he poured himself a gla s of tequila and waited for a call. In an effort to preserve the relationship between Rodgers and coach Matt LaFleur, the team told the QB Gutekunst made the decision to take Love."I had friends who said, 'Hey, Matt looked super excited when they made the draft pick,'" Rodgers said. "And I said, 'I don't care, honestly

They all signed off on it."During the 2021 offseason, David Dunn, Rodgers' agent, reportedly requested to the Packers president Mark Murphy that the team either trade Rodgers or fire Gutekunst though neither Dunn nor Rodgers confirmed reports of the request.As the season neared its beginning, Rodgers said he wanted changes made about the communication within the organization. Rodgers said he believed communication with Gutekunst improved, but that executive VP and director of football operations Ru s Ball was the one who made the most improvements with communication.MORE:Following the end of the 2022 season, Rodgers said he was given time by the team to evaluate what his next steps were. He was told by the team they wanted him to retire as a Packer.There had been discu sions for Rodgers and Gutekunst to meet in California, where Rodgers lives. Rodgers said they hadn't made any official plans, but rather that Gutekunst had said he would be in the area for the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl and would be interested in meeting with the team's QB. Rodgers said he would "like to make it work." It never happened, however."Life happens," Rodgers said. "When I hit him back, he was already out of town, but it wasn't like I hit him back like five days later. He hit me up, like, in the morning of one day. I hit him up either the night or the next morning or the next day and then he was gone.", he reached out to the Packers to say he wanted to get together with Gutekunst and LaFleur. But in March, Gutekunst made his comments saying it had been difficult to reach Rodgers. The quarterback, however, said the disconnect was because of a lack of cell service in the house and the team's refusal to use FaceTime to call him."I have zero or one bar at the house, so you call me sometimes it goes through, most of the time it drops and doesn't go through," Rodgers said. "Everybody who knows me, when I'm out west, they know that's how to get a hold of me. So you can say whatever you want about that, but that's the f truth."MORE:When Rodgers came back from the retreat, he was told by his agent that the team had been looking to trade Rodgers, prompting the quarterback to officially request a move to the Jets.Did Brian text me more than I texted him? Yeah, but did I ghost him? No, Rodgers said. I texted him back. There was back-and-forths that we had and so this is the story you wanna go with? Youre gonna stand on this hill of austerity and say that arguably in the conversation of the best player in your franchise history, youre gonna say I couldnt get a hold of him and thats why we had to move on?"The persistent offseason drama over whether Rodgers would remain a Packer or move on came to an end this offseason, with the future . Already, he's praised the communication he's received from the team since joining.The Packers, meanwhile, will get to see what the taking over as the starting quarterback.
