In case you didn’t know, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is “disgruntled” with the Packers and has told people in the organization he wants out of Green Bay, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter,
That has led to plenty asking questions about the MVP to different team representatives around the league. One of the latest team representatives to field a question on this topic is Vikings GM Rick Spielman, here’s what he said on PFT PM:
“You always read things and stuff like that,” Vikings G.M. Rick Spielman told PFT PM earlier this week when asked whether and to what extent he monitors these situations. “Aaron Rodgers is maybe the best quarterback who has ever played this game, and I’m never going to talk about anyone else’s players. One, I’m not allowed to. It’s illegal. But you just always look at different situations. The most important thing is evaluating [us] and our decisions and if we do make mistakes how do we correct them or what will we do differently. If something works out, great. . . . My main focus here is on the Minnesota Vikings.”
Spielman of course values Rodgers quite a bit, as evidenced by these comments. I think if something does work out, it’s fair to say most Vikings fans would rather that mean Rodgers is out of the division.
