One of the biggest storylines in the 2020 offseason is the CBA that still hasn’t been sorted out. Nobody on the Green Bay Packers wants another lockout to happen, but Aaron Rodgers pointed out that the way he was involved in the player-initiated CBA was farcical in his eyes.

The seasoned quarterback mentioned how the NFLPA barely used him during the negotiations, mainly using him as an ornament meant to give the proposed CBA the Rodgers Seal of Approval.

As reported by Packers News’ Ryan Wood:

“My involvement was more under the show-pony guy,” Rodgers said. “Bring in the guy with a name who’s going to be in the room. I don’t think they realized maybe my ability to speak in those environments, and what I really was passionate about.”

He also pointed out that the players’ association should not agree to the addition of a 17th game in a bid to add more football in what is already a physically draining season for all of the players involved.

“Every meeting that was had before these negotiations really got amped up,” Rodgers said, “Nobody wanted 17 games. So a lot of us are wondering how the hell that even got into the conversation. Because nobody wanted it.”

The Packers gunslinger also pointed out that a 50-50 split on league earnings is not included in the deal. He reminded players that they should not lose track of the goal in spite of all of the frazzle and dazzle they are offering players.

“I think we should have stood firmer on revenue and player safety,” the Packers superstar said, “instead of trying to get some of these concessions.”

Rodgers said his piece, and it seems he’s vehemently against the currently crafted CBA by the league. If everyone agrees with him, then it’s back to the drawing board for league officials. While they risk running into another lockout, it’s important that players get their fair share of the bargain.
