Packers puzzled as talks with QB Rodgers 'never transpired'

PHOENIX -- If Aaron Rodgers wanted direct conversations with the Green Bay Packers about their direction and his future, then one high-level team executive believes the quarterback should have responded to their attempts to reach him this offseason.

General manager Brian Gutekunst said Monday at the NFL annual league meeting that he tried unsuccessfully to reach Rodgers "many times" since their final meeting in January shortly after last season.

This after Rodgers said less than two weeks ago on the Pat McAfee Show that the Packers were not direct with him about their intentions and how he fit into their plans for the 2023 season.
