There's been a ton of infighting out in the open between members of the Green Bay Packers, both past and present. At the center of it all has been Aaron Rodgers, but he's had others willing to fight his battles for him.
Rodgers' former teammate in wide receiver Greg Jennings went on the air to deem the Packers quarterback “selfish” amid recent reports that he was looking for a payday in the $50 million range.
“Aaron Rodgers has been a very selfish guy,” said Jennings, when talking about the contract report. “I get it, he’s at the end of his career, and so it’s like, ‘Okay, I’m going to take whatever I can take.’ But you can’t do that and want to win.”
Among those that came to Aaron Rodgers' defense was Green Bay's reserve QBs in Kurt Benkert. Benkert has played in just one game so far in his NFL career, but has obviously spent a of time with Rodgers as part of the Packers' QB room. According to him, the narrative being pushed by Jennings was completely false.
“L take, Lots of salt. Get a new narrative to spread,” said the Packers QB.
12 is the most generous and thoughtful person I’ve met in the league. Not to mention the back to back best player.
This sounds like it comes from a person that wanted to be that guy, but wasn’t.👇🏼”
Jennings responded to Benkert, who was quick to fire right back at the 2-time Pro Bowl receiver.
😂 so generous people can’t display acts of selfishness. News to me. As far as wanting to be that guy. Not sure I understand you there. Are you implying a guy who that plays?

The ole “you don’t play” jab. Tells a lot about your character, Greg. I’m fine with busting my ass behind the scenes day in and day out without publicly being rewarded for it. Can you say the same? Getting your clicks up by trashing other people isn’t a way to build your brand. https://t.co/8IB0XrGCSX

The Green Bay Packers' offseason has been anything but quiet.
