Aaron Rodgers repeated throughout the offseason that his frustration with the Packers, which nearly resulted in a divorce between the two sides, came from feeling left out of team decisions.

According to another legendary Packers quarterback, the power play may have worked.

It remains to be seen whether or not Rodgers remains in Green Bay beyond this season, but Brett Favre thinks the team may now be more willing to make concessions for him.

“If he goes in and says, ‘Look, I really think we need to keep this guy. I really love the rapport I have with him. I trust everything he does on the field and that’s hard to come by. Let’s retain the guy, whatever it takes. Let’s do that.’ I think that’s justifiable, for Aaron to speak up or any guy who’s paid his dues. And I think it would be unwise as an organization to not listen to the guy who’s pulling the trigger,” Favre said on SiriusXM NFL Radio.

“You know, your take from a general manager perspective obviously is different because you’re thinking about the team as a whole, but also the future and the present. So yeah, I certainly think that that’s a tough job, but the guy that’s pulling the trigger for you deserves to be listened to and in some cases, you act on his wishes. So I think that’s what we’re going to see happen from now on.”

A bombshell dropped on the first day of the NFL Draft, when it was reported Rodgers would not report to the Packers in 2021. The frustration was reportedly with the team’s front office and general manager Brian Gutekunst.

The three-time MVP, of course, ended up reporting and will play in the 2021 season. We will see how things shake out.
