Former Green Bay Packers fullback John Kuhn insisted last week the situation with disgruntled quarterback Aaron Rodgers is fixable. Kuhn reiterated the sentiment in an interview with Andrew Siciliano of NFL Network on Wednesday.
Here's the proof:
“@AaronRodgers12 and I are friends.”

Naturally, the newsy interview was aggregated, with ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio posting a somewhat snarky tweet referring to Kuhn as an “Aaron Rodgers surrogate.”
Kuhn didn't take kindly to that portrayal:
I will remember this Mike Florio, and I will find you! Lets have a chat. Someone please @ him https://t.co/HBcpAofc7F

Florio's response started with an awkward joke and then an explanation about the story:
Hey Twitter if I end up dead search the trunk of Kuhn's car please. https://t.co/7uxJziABI9

This isn't that complicated. Kuhn says he talks to Rodgers. Kuhn publicly says the Rodgers situation is fixable. If Kuhn isn't saying that with Aaron's express or implied blessing, Kuhn risks joining me (and plenty of others) on the Rodgers shit list. https://t.co/7uxJziABI9

We have a beef! Aaron Rodgers' beef with the Packers is now spawning other beefs. Beefs all around!
Kuhn does seem pretty adamant Rodgers will reconcile with Green Bay despite all the rumors suggesting that won't be the case. The quarterback is reportedly unhappy with general manager Brian Gutekunst and his overall situation with the Packers, telling a lot of people he has no plans on returning in 2021.
Green Bay has tried to remedy this debacle, attempting to negotiate a new contract with Rodgers. The Packers even supposedly offered an absolutely massive deal.
But, still, there has been no resolution. All this drama broke on the day of the 2021 NFL Draft, which was two weeks ago now at this point. The standoff continues between Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, and we're all just waiting to see if this gets worked out or if it really blows up.
At the very least, all this drama is certainly providing some great offseason content. So thank you, Aaron Rodgers.
