What a freaking draft day.
Hours before the 2021 NFL Draft, ESPN’s Adam Schefter dropped major news that Aaron Rodgers was disgruntled with the Green Bay Packers and did not want to return to play for the team.
The team even offered him a contract extension to get him to stay:
Just before that news were reports of Tim Tebow wanting back into the league, but as a tight end this time around.
The news has gotten so crazy that even Patrick Mahomes had to comment on it.

We can also mention that the 49ers tried to trade for him as well, which elads you to believe that they knew what was going on before it made it to social media.
According to Schefter, the Packers are aware of his feelings and were concerned enough that president Mark Murphy, general manager Brian Gutekunst and head coach Matt LaFleur have each flew out on separate trips to meet with Rodgers at various points this offseason.
“As we’ve stated since the season ended, we are committed to Aaron in 2021 and beyond,” Gutekunst told ESPN. “Aaron has been a vital part of our success and we look forward to competing for another championship with him leading our team.”
