NFL Exec: Aaron Rodgers 'Passive Aggressive'; Packers Can 'Get Away' with Trading QB

An anonymous NFL executive weighed in Friday on the drama unfolding between the Green Bay Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

According to Mike Sando of The Athletic, the exec said:

"Taking a flamethrower to an organization that is fairly well run is wholly different than anything we've seen with Deshaun Watson or any other quarterback. Rodgers has always been passive-aggressive. Now, he is just being aggressive. If I'm the Packers, if you want to pay me $31.5 million to retire, be my guest. There are not a lot of franchises that could get away with moving on from Aaron Rodgers.
