Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the NFL’s four-time most valuable player, has agreed to stay with the teamconcluding his a year back and forth with the club on its future.
The deal apparently resolves a high-profile rift between Rodgers, 38, and general manager Brian Gutekunst (and the Packers front office), which was rooted in the player’s desire to be more involved in managerial decisions.
As Rodgers contested a second consecutive MVP season, the tension between the men has amplified scrutiny of Rodgers’ off-court missteps last season, including his admission that he misled reporters about his status. vaccination after tested positive for coronavirus in November and its lashing out at “cancel culture” in an interview with McAfee the same month.
His public comments there and on Joe Rogan’s podcast, where he said he asked the NFL to reconsider its vaccination policies, made him a lightning rod for support and derision from politicians, pundits doctors and people on both sides of a debate over inoculation against Covid19.
Rodgers tested positive for coronavirus in November, months after telling reporters he was “immune” to the disease. The NFL fined him $14,650 for breaking protocols for unvaccinated players, including not wearing a mask at its weekly press conferences and attending a Halloween party.
