Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are choosing “click bait” over “fake news,” appearing to deny the team’s disharmony in degree rather than substance.

Green Bay first responded directly to a Yahoo Sports report that quoted anonymous sources who stated a frustrated Rodgers wants more input into the team’s personnel decisions. A story on the Packers website combated the alleged power struggle, quoting Rodgers as wanting a contract extension but not campaigning for greater say in the team’s formation.

“Aaron Rodgers talks offseason changes,” was the headline, which is decidedly not juicy.

So Rodgers next responded, with sarcasm.

“I feel like the title of this article needs more click bait,” Rodgers wrote. “Come on GBP, make something up, or talk to some unnamed sources close to me or something to beef up the clicks.”

The beefy clicks were had in an offseason in which Rodgers has made it known he is displeased with the team’s power structure either not alerting him to moves it was making or not listening to him about those moves. He left hints after the Packers canned quarterback coach Alex Van Pelt and let Jordy Nelson go that he was bothered, notably telling ESPN of Van Pelt, “I thought that was an interesting change, really without consulting me.”

On Tuesday, Yahoo quoted sources who took the veil off those thinly veiled jabs at the team and his role on it.

The Packers appeared to answer the story by running their own version, running Rodgers quotes that affirm he would like to “lock something in” with a long-term contract, and allowing that he was “not happy” about Van Pelt and Nelson, but dismissing the notion he wants a say on the team’s roster.

“I know my role and that’s to play quarterback the best that I can, and the team is going to try to put the right guys in place, the right coaches in place, the right players in place, and you just have to trust the process,” Rodgers said to the site.
