“He’s not going back there. Unless they make serious changes to the front office, I doubt he’s going back…That dude is not going back. I’m telling you,” the unnamed former Packers executive told Tyler Dunne about the situation.

This seems about par for the course for what we’ve seen over the past six weeks or so. Rodgers seems to have no interest in showing up, the Packers don’t appear to want to budge and the team is also trying to convince everyone that everything is just fine.
Of course, not a single soul believes that, but welcome to life in the NFL.
Spent more time catching up with sources around the #Packers/Rodgers stalemate. The theme? Nobody in Green Bay should be holding their breath for a t-camp return.
So, the clock is ticking.
Here’s why the players need direction from the team ASAP:https://t.co/cIMDKBaJ5F

Add in the fact that Jordan Love reportedly struggled in a big way during the first day of minicamp, and it’s not hard to see how fans might be very upset and frustrated right now.
Hell, I’d be shocked if they weren’t upset and frustrated.
Notes from Minicamp practice No. 1
* Jordan Love struggled with accuracy. 12-23 passing in team, including failed 2-minute drill.
* Davante Adams was present but did very little.
* Devin Funchess looks the part.
* Jaire Alexander with a big PBU (what else is new).

We’ll see how it all shakes out, but things are looking really bad in Green Bay at the moment.
