Packers president: Critical report has 'a lot of stuff just made up'

Aaron Rodgers has denounced an article detailing the Green Bay Packers' alleged inner turmoil and now team president Mark Murphy has joined him.

After Rodgers called a Bleacher Report story a "smear attack" earlier this week, Murphy seconded his quarterback's assessment.

"It's a lot of half-truths and a lot of stuff just made up," Murphy told Scott Emerich of WXOW 19 on Wednesday.

A source told Bleacher Report's Tyler Dunne that before announcing Matt LaFleur as the Packers' new head coach, Murphy called Rodgers and said, "don't be the problem." Murphy denies that.

"That conversation that allegedly took place between Aaron and I was completely false. We had a great conversation. It was very positive," Murphy said. "We talked about Matt LaFleur and I said, 'Aaron, I think this change is going to be great for you and the organization' and he was very positive."

Murphy also refuted the level of organizational infighting suggested in the article.

"If things were as bad as that article implied, we never would've won a Super Bowl," he said. "We never would've gone to eight straight playoffs. It was certainly exaggerated."
