It wasn’t a joke. But it’s still not happening.
Packers G.M. Brian Gutekunst was asked by reporters on Sunday about the recent effort by quarterback Aaron Rodgers and others to urge the team to bring back linebacker Clay Matthews via Instagram. Gutekunst said that there have been no discussions about that.
It doesn’t mean there definitely won’t be. If it was going to happen, there’s a good chance the Packers already would have at least talked about it.
Rodgers, receiver Randall Cobb, and tackle David Bakhtiari made waves on Instagram by starting the effort to “BRING HIM BACK,” in reference to Matthews.
