Former NFL general manager Mike Tannenbaum is among those growing impatient with Aaron Rodgers. He’s particularly frustrated with how the quarterback’s lack of a decision on his future is now affecting the Packers and other players.
In an appearance on Get Up Wednesday, Tannenbaum unloaded on Rodgers for keeping Green Bay in the dark about his plans for next year. He called the reigning MVP ”selfish” because he’s holding up general manager Brian Gutekunst from making other roster decisions.
“Aaron Rodgers is being selfish. Let’s make no mistake about it, he is being very selfish. Because he’s known for a while what he’s going to do.” Tannenbaum said. “Specifically, if he’s talking about being a great teammate. ... When we talk about guys like Preston Smith, Billy Turner, Randall Cobb, these guys all have non-guaranteed money next year. If they are going to be released, they’d much rather be released on March 2 than on March 17 or 18 because right now, there is more money available as teams head into free agency than there would be a week or two into free agency.
