Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has yet to agree to the massive new extension he’s expected to get this offseason. Perhaps the delay is due to some brewing unhappiness with his situation in Green Bay.

According to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports, Rodgers has been growing “frustrated” and “emotional” due to the Packers management’s lack of communication with him over two important decisions that were made this offseason: the departures of wide receiver Jordy Nelson and quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt.

“Both of those decisions [with Nelson and Van Pelt] were made without him,” one league source close to Rodgers said. “In both situations, he had no influence with [the front office] before anything went down.”

Rodgers believes that his status as an elite quarterback has earned him the right to be involved in those major decisions and has now begun factoring that into his thinking regarding his looming contract.

“I know he’s thinking about that stuff when it comes to the next contract because he should have earned a voice by now,” the source continued. “In other places with [elite] quarterbacks, consideration is given to those guys. I think Aaron wants to be engaged in some decisions. But that’s just not the way it works [in Green Bay]. I think that’s obviously frustrating and it’s going to keep coming out.”

Rodgers is one of, if not the best quarterback in the league and remains a huge part of the Packers’ long-term plans. The team obviously want to do everything they can to keep him happy in Green Bay.

However, the fact of the matter is that quarterbacks – not even Tom Brady – don’t really have that much say in personnel decisions. Moreover, Rodgers remains under contract with the team until 2019, and the Packers can also tag him to get him to stay for a couple more years after. That means he doesn't have much leverage when it comes to this issue and his upcoming deal.

Perhaps the simple solution to this problem is for the Packers to just do a better job of keeping Rodgers in the loop with big decisions – especially those that affect him directly – while not necessarily giving him much power in terms of what they ultimately do.
