Clay Matthews being signed by the Green Bay packers has been lobbied by the likes of Aaron Rodgers. And Randall Cobb. And David Bakhtiari and other members of the Green Bay Packers. All three posted to social media that they want Matthews back in the fold.

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst had a blunt response to the request on Sunday.
“We’ve had no discussions about that,” the Packers GM told reporters on Sunday.

Matthews played for the Packers from 2009-18, turning into one of the most productive outside linebackers in team history. He made six pro bowls (2009-12, 2014, 2015) while with Green Bay. Also, he is a fan favorite.
He last appeared in the NFL in 2019 with the Los Angeles Rams, playing 13 games and recording eight sacks and 10 solo tackles.
Despite not playing in the NFL in 2020, Matthews has not retired.
