NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers was not present on the first day of Green Bay Packers mandatory minicamp on Tuesday.
The 37-year-old quarterback is entangled in a holdout he said is tied to the team's management of the roster and communication with the front office.
Rodgers has told members of the organisation he wants a trade and will not play in Green Bay again.
However, team president Mark Murphy and general manager Brian Gutekunst insist there is no move coming for the reigning MVP, despite inquiries from multiple teams, including the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos.
