Aaron Rodgers on tumultuous offseason: ‘Typically there’s a variety of knowledge in silence’

All through this offseason, nothing has generated extra dialog than the continued Aaron Rodgers saga. Rodgers’ obvious unhappiness in Inexperienced Bay simmered for almost a yr, and for the reason that information of his lack of curiosity in returning to the fold broke, it has been the most-discussed subject in and across the NFL.

Rodgers has even contributed to that dialog, whether or not by taking curiously timed holidays or giving interviews on tv, radio, or podcasts. Apparently he is had sufficient of the discuss, although, as a result of in an interview forward of his look in “The Match 4” on Tuesday night time with Tom Brady, Brooks Koepka, and Bryson DeChambeau, Rodgers famous that the individual doing essentially the most speaking just isn’t at all times the one that is in the correct. 

“Typically the loudest individual within the room just isn’t the one that has all of the information on their aspect or the reality on their aspect,” Rodgers mentioned, per ESPN’s Ben Child. “Typically there’s a variety of knowledge in silence.”

It is fascinating that Rodgers would take that place, provided that the Packers have largely been those not speaking on this state of affairs. Inexperienced Bay has merely maintained that Rodgers is the workforce’s quarterback and isn’t prepared to commerce him in the mean time. Maybe Rodgers can converse louder together with his actions, as he did by not exhibiting as much as minicamp. If he skips coaching camp — and even some regular-season video games — that might ship a louder message than something he might say.
