Aaron Rodgers’ issues with Packers trace back in part to communication breakdowns

GREEN BAY — Brett Favre might have misinterpreted the question a bit.

The former Green Bay Packers quarterback and Pro Football Hall of Famer has been following the Aaron Rodgers saga since he entered the public consciousness — after months of Rodgers’ disillusionment being known only behind the green-and-gold scenes — and like many Packers fans, Favre has wondered to himself how relations between his former team and his quarterbacking successor have deteriorated to this.

And so, during an interview with ESPN Wisconsin last week, Favre was told that, according to multiple sources, among Rodgers’ frustrations with the club was the way general manager Brian Gutekunst failed to communicate with him — particularly on personnel matters that affected him.
