Greg Jennings clearly still salty towards Aaron Rodgers, and it needs to stop
By John Buhler
Greg Jennings cannot seem to let the Aaron Rodgers beef go years after he last played for the Green Bay Packers.
It has been nearly a decade since Greg Jennings was Aaron Rodgers’ teammate on the Green Bay Packers, but apparently, time does not heal all wounds.
While Jennings has embarked on a media career, mostly built on him being one of the few former Packers players who will push back on his former quarterback, Rodgers enters the 2022 NFL offseason as a four-time MVP. Jennings went viral for his comments on First Things First over Rodgers reportedly wanting $50 million a year. Clearly, this relationship is never going to be fixed.
Franky, it really is not all that surprising the former Pro Bowl wide receiver has a “non-existent” relationship with the best quarterback he ever played with.
Greg Jennings clearly cannot get over his feelings about Aaron Rodgers
Rodgers would go on to deny the claim that he seeks $50 million annually. Though he could conceivably force a trade out of town, Rodgers would be worth that money. Regardless, he is not getting to and winning another Super Bowl if the Packers do not spread some of that wealth around the roster. This might be where the fracture is in Rodgers and Jennings’ relationship.
Jennings was Rodgers’ teammate in Green Bay from 2006 to 2012. After an injury-riddled season, Jennings signed with his home state’s Minnesota Vikings, a massive rival of the Packers. He spent two years in the Twin Cities before getting the bag one last time with the 2015 Miami Dolphins before retiring. Jennings never came close to achieving a 1,000-yard season outside of Green Bay.
What this all comes down to is Rodgers putting Jennings “on blast” once he left town. Once Rodgers does this to someone, there is not much that person can do. While most would try to get back into his good graces, Jennings turned heel and has been one of his biggest critics in the NFL media. They do not have to be best buds, or even friendly, but this level of pettiness is getting old.
If you make a career criticizing someone, do not be shocked if he wants nothing to do with you.
