Aaron Rodgers’ revelation of the news on the first day of the 2021 NFL Draft was an “accumulation of information” that gathered throughout the offseason rather than a breaking report that reigning NFL MVP wanted out of Green Bay, ESPN’s Adam Shekre said on Thursday said.
This was followed by “The Dan Patrick Show” to explain why he sat on the news of the Packers being with the Rockers prior to last week’s NFL Draft. An ESPN insider said that neither Roger nor his camp were the source of his reporting.
“It is absolutely right, right. It was nothing that came in the morning that suddenly said to me, ‘Yes, he wants out, you want this report’ …. It was just an accumulation of information,” Said later, he says he went along with the story once it was told elsewhere Thursday morning that the San Francisco 49ers had inquired about Rodgers’ availability.
“I said, ‘Until it turns out that Aaron Rodgers wants out of Green Bay?” “It’s going to come.” What difference does it make if it comes out now or next week or next month.
However, the original tweet on the morning of the draft suggested a different timeline: “The reign of MVP Aaron Rodgers is so dissatisfied with the Green Bay Packers that he has revealed something within the organization that he does not want to return to the team, the league and the team Sources told ESPN on Thursday. “
That tweet sparked a frenzy of reports from various outlets about Rodgers’ position and his relationship with the Green Bay front office for the remainder of the draft weekend.
“The weird thing about it is that I’ve heard people say that Aaron Rodgers wanted that before the draft and I can assure you that Aaron Rodgers didn’t want that before the draft,” he said after this. “I have said that people have planted the Green Bay Packers. It was a very pro-Packers story. I can assure you that the Green Bay Packers have not planted the plant.
“It was an accumulation, which was only during the crime of listening and observing people. … So your antenna is up and I’m telling you during the entire offseason, there was rarely a week that I had not heard anything about Aaron Rodgers. “
