All signs are pointing to the Green Bay Packers moving on from one of the best players to ever dawn an NFL jersey. The pending trade between the Packers and New York Jets will eventually send Rodgers out east. There have been many mixed reactions from fans regarding the imminent departure of #12. One person who has clearly developed a strong connection with Aaron Rodgers over the last four years is head coach Matt LaFleur. On Tuesday, Matt LaFleur spoke his mind regarding the quarterback who has led his offense over the last four years.
Matt LaFleur Says Goodbye To Aaron Rodgers
On Tuesday, coach Matt LaFleur delivered a fitting good-bye filled with love and appreciation:
“Listen,” LaFleur told reporters at the NFL owner’s meetings in Phoenix. “I’m just going to throw it out there right away: First of all, I’ve got nothing but love and appreciation for what Aaron has done for so many in our organization. Obviously, have experienced a lot of great times together, and won a lot of football games together. Ultimately, didn’t bring home a Super Bowl, which will always be disappointing.”
“He’s done so much for myself, my family, our coaches’ families, so many people within the organization, other players,” LaFleur continued. “A lot of people have been rewarded, quite frankly, because of his ability to go out there and play and play at such a high level.”
Aaron Rodgers has certainly ruffled feathers over the years with some fans, players, and media outlets. He has certainly been open about his lifestyle that many don’t agree with. However, on the field, Aaron Rodgers has given Packers fans memories that will last forever. The same can be said about head coach Matt LaFleur, who has only worked with Rodgers for four years now. Remembering the good times is as important as being excited about the future. The Green Bay Packers will now look to give Jordan Love the keys to the franchise and hope for another two decades of dominance in the NFL.
