Rodgers’ future raises stakes for GB

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — There’s no sense downplaying how important this season is for the Green Bay Packers.

“Look, I think we all know what’s at stake,” said quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the reigning league MVP.

Rodgers’ uncertain future with the franchise puts more pressure on the Packers as they pursue their first Super Bowl berth since their 2010 championship season. The Packers have lost in the NFC championship game four of the last seven years, including each of the last two seasons.

After putting together his third MVP season, Rodgers skipped the Packers’ organized team activities and mandatory minicamp as part of a standoff with team officials before arriving for training camp.
