Report: Teams 'Outraged' by NFL's Handling of Aaron Rodgers' COVID-19 Violations

Some NFL teams are "outraged" over the league's punishment decisions regarding Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' COVID-19 violations, per Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.

Rodgers, who is unvaccinated, was fined $14,650 for attending a Halloween party outside the team facility. The same went for unvaccinated teammate and wideout Allen Lazard.

Per Grant Gordon of NFL.com, the Packers were fined $300,000 for failing to penalize both players for attending the party.

"As both are unvaccinated, they are prohibited from attending gatherings outside team facilities," Gordon wrote.

"Per the NFL/NFLPA protocol guidelines, gathering outside of the club facility in a group of more than three players is subject to a $14,650 fine.
