Report: Rodgers not in attendance for Packers OTAs

Aaron Rodgers didn't show up to Lambeau Field on Monday for the start of the Green Bay Packers' organized team activities, a source told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.

The Packers weren't surprised by Rodgers' absence for the start of Phase Three of the offseason program as the quarterback didn't report for Phase One or Phase Two either, Demovsky adds.

While Packers players are not required to show up until June 8 for mandatory minicamp, Rodgers has a $500,000 workout bonus in his contract. However, his previous absences already disqualify him from earning the bonus.

Rodgers has been a regular participant in the Packers' offseason program and OTAs throughout his career, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The 37-year-old is in a standoff with the Packers organization and reportedly told some people within it that he does not want to return. The club reportedly offered to make him the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL, but Rodgers is apparently set on staying away unless general manager Brian Gutekunst is fired.

Meanwhile, Green Bay has been adamant about not trading its longtime quarterback. Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters earlier in May that he wants Rodgers back "in the worst way."

Rodgers was named league MVP in 2020 after throwing for 48 touchdowns against five interceptions.
