The players’ intentions remain unknown, but the word from the top is in, and the Green Bay Packers won’t be bringing back veteran outside linebacker Clay Matthews.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, receiver Randall Cobb and left tackle David Bakhtiari all took to Instagram recently to implore – or so we think – the Packers to bring back Matthews. Rodgers’ caption read “BRING HIM HOME” over top of a photo of Matthews in a Packers uniform.
General manager Brian Gutekunst shot down the idea on Sunday.
“We’ve had no discussions about that,” Gutekunst said when asked about the Instagram posts.
