It’s hard not to have a guilty conscience for Matt LaFleur, the somewhat forgotten third character in the Aaron Rodgers vs. Packers front office star down. The third-year head coach is faced with the daunting task of running Green Bay’s offseason program and steering the ship forward despite the apparently dark cloud hanging over the organization.
When asked about the mandatory minicamp of the team starting next week, LaFleur tried to appear optimistic about Rodgers’ situation, but it’s easy to see through the sad facade of his words.
« It’s important that we all have our boys, and we do would definitely like to have him here and hopefully we’ll see him on Tuesday, ”LaFleur said, according to Packers News.
Anyone who’s watched the Packers offseason saga knows that the chances of Rodgers showing up are somewhere lie between low and zero. The star quarterback skipped the team’s OTAs last week to vacation with his fiancée Shailene Woodley and actor Miles Teller in Hawaii.
According to reports, Rodgers is unlikely to be returning to the team anytime soon, and his absence could extend to training camp and beyond if he is not acted – which General Manager Brian Gutekunst has insisted he be won’t do this. The Packers can fine him nearly $ 100,000 for missing minicamp, but the reigning MVP is unlikely to matter much.
LaFleur will instead go to minicamp with Jordan Love as quarterback, who According to Packers reporter Andy Herman so far hesitated to push the ball down in OTAs.
