Aaron Rodgers implies split is Packers fault

The Green Bay Packers finally moved on from quarterback Aaron Rodgers late last month, dealing him to the New York Jets and bringing an end to an era that saw him not only deliver a Super Bowl championship but multiple division titles as well as personal accolades that included being named the NFL's Most Valuable Player on more than one occasion. 

It was an extremely public and sometimes bitter divorce between the two sides, and as Rodgers would explain, it was partially because the Packers wouldn't communicate with him via his preferred method.

"I will say, people that know me, I'm fortunate to live in a beautiful house. The only downside is I have very limited cell service," Rodgers said earlier Wednesday. "So if you want to get ahold of me, I have to see your face. You have to FaceTime me. So, the only response to the communication thing is, there's records in your phone about who called you, when, FaceTime, and there wasn't any specific FaceTimes from any of those numbers that I was looking at. That's neither here nor there because now we're in this position."

"Obviously, that's the direction they wanted to go as far as the story they couldn't get ahold of me, which led for this to be the case. My point was, if there was a change that wanted to be made, why wasn't that told to me early in the offseason. Now, obviously, my future was undecided at that time. I didn't know if I wanted to keep playing. I wanted to go into my darkness retreat and sit with it and contemplate. But when I came out, it was evident that it was retire or move on to a new team."

Rodgers didn't exactly have blame for himself, which is pretty par for the course with how he operates.
