That discussion between 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan and LaFleur was recently the subject of its own drama and gossip, which fellow NFL reporter Mike Silver retold in a Twitter thread.
It seems like an eternity ago now, but before the NFL Draft, Rodgers had reportedly signaled his displeasure with the Green Bay franchise in private. Other teams caught wind — including San Francisco — and of course reached out to the Packers, since Rodgers is the reigning MVP and a future hall of famer. But it sounds like Green Bay was never seriously considering any Rodgers-related deals, and shut Shanahan down almost immediately.
