Aaron Rodgers was just kidding about call for Packers to bring back Clay Matthews

Last week, Aaron Rodgers led a social media campaign calling for the Green Bay Packers to sign Clay Matthews.

It turns out he was just kidding.

In an apparent flex after convincing the Packers to trade for Randall Cobb as part of his terms to end his stalemate with the franchise, Rodgers lobbied online for the team to bring back another past-his-prime former Packer. In this case, a 35-year-old former linebacker who hasn't played since 2019.

Rodgers posted "BRING HIM BACK #" on his Instagram page last week, referring to Matthews, who played 10 seasons with the Packers from 2009-18.
