Aaron Rodgers didn't take too kindly to the Bleacher Report expose on everything that went wrong with the Green Bay Packers. In the lengthy feature he was criticized by several former Packers, including receiver Greg Jennings.
Jennings, who now works as an analyst for Fox Sports, has been highly critical of Rodgers in the past, and Rodgers was finally fed up. During a recent appearance on ESPN Radio, Rodgers called out Jennings and former Packers tight end Jermichael Finley, saying:
“It bothers me that every time there’s an article, it’s the same two people,” Rodgers said. “And if it’s not an article about me, do you ever hear their names anywhere else? At what point do you move on? You talk about me being sensitive and petty? At what point do you move on or stop telling the same stories?”
The former teammates clearly don't see eye to eye, and now Jennings has responded to Rodgers' comments. Appearing on Colin Cowherd's show on FS1, Jennings didn't throw any haymakers and instead sought to calm tempers.

In the first clip posted by Dov Kleiman, Jennings is relatively deferential, saying that while his “assessment is a little different,” Rodgers is “saying what he feels in his heart is true.”

In the second clip, Jennings pushed back a little harder, saying “quarterbacks tend to be looked at as the ones who are always right.” Jennings has long claimed that Rodgers played a role in his departure from Green Bay, which came after the 2012 season.
Jennings and Rodgers had a great run of success together. Jennings was Rodgers' top receiver for four straight years at one point. Numerous teammates have spoken up in defense of Rodgers, but Jennings and Finley have been very vocal in their dissent.
Jennings struck a measured tone in these new remarks, but it is clear that a disagreement with Rodgers remains very much intact.
