‘Been a bleep show.’ Reaction to Aaron Rodgers wanting to leave Green Bay Packers
The news that Aaron Rodgers might refuse to play for the Green Bay Packers this season shook up the NFL and blew up social media.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that multiple sources said Rodgers “is so disgruntled with the Green Bay Packers that he has told some within the organization that he does not want to return to the team.”
Fans and media members have reacted with a torrent of speculation on Rodgers’ final destination, if not back for a 17th season with the Packers.
Pro Football Talk reported Rodgers’ top three landing spots are the Broncos, Raiders or 49ers.
Rodgers’ recent hosting duties on the television game show “Jeopardy,” and his pending marriage to Hollywood actress Shailene Woodley have also been ripe for social media rumors, memes and absurdity.
Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers is so disgruntled with the Green Bay Packers that he has told some within the organization that he does not want to return to the team, league and team sources told ESPN on Thursday.

Sources: The Packers reportedly told Aaron Rodgers they were going to trade him in the off season, then backed off. It’s been a bleep show between them ever since. And within the last week Rodgers told the team.. trade or no trade I’m not coming back. Buckle up folks

From unimpeachable source: As of last night, Aaron Rodgers’ wish list was 49ers, Broncos, Raiders (not necessarily in that order). He wanted Packers to take the 49ers’ offer. Next move by Rodgers is TBD.

I asked an #NFL GM how he would expect the #Packers to respond to Aaron Rodgers’ discontent: “They dig their feet in and make him play or be a game-show host.”

Nothing Aaron Rodgers does is an accident. Saying what he said the day the season ended wasn't an accident. And this happening on draft day wasn't an accident either.

The 49ers passing on Aaron Rodgers in 2005 kicked off the longest smokescreen of all-time.

If Aaron Rodgers is going to host Jeopardy!, then LeVar Burton should get to be the Packers quarterback. Fair is fair.

Twitter would break down if Aaron Rodgers were to be traded tonight

There may be some impressive Michael Corleone stuff going on in this Aaron Rodgers saga. Last year, on the first night of the draft the Packers took Jordan Love. Then Rodgers waits for the first night of the next draft to exact his revenge. pic.twitter.com/9lsFCYdp8U

The Aaron Rodgers story is an absolutely viewership gift to ESPN/ABC and the NFL Network tonight. They should send Rodgers some wine from Sonoma.
