NFL insider notes: Aaron Rodgers content with sitting out for now, big things on horizon for Rams' duo

Aaron Rodgers could change his mind later this summer, but for now he's sticking to his guns

Aaron Rodgers is not in Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers was never going to be in Green Bay this week. I thought that was pretty clear. The idea that "mandatory" minicamp was going to have any bearing on this stalemate between all-time great quarterback and iconic franchise was always laughable. Honestly, I am a bit flabbergasted that Rodgers's attendance was somehow a thing. Like, that there were people who had paid any attention to this showdown at all who thought that maybe he was going interrupt his life to show up for some quasi-practices? Trust me, Mark Murphy and the powers that be in Green Bay aren't surprised in the least. They've known for months. They have been told, by Rodgers and others close to him, that the QB is done with them. That he'll never wear that jersey again. Sorry, there was never a chance that Rodgers was going to let this thing go, arbitrarily, in the middle of June, to accommodate the team's offseason schedule.
