Woodley, a Hollywood actress and Rodgers’ fiancée retweeted a clipping of Stephen A. Smith’s video where he states that the quarterback wishes to leave because of the disrespectful attitude of the Packers front office towards Rodgers. Woodley’s mother, Lori Woodley too quoted the video and tweeted, “Spoken truth.” 

What happens next remains to be seen. The Green Bay Packers are adamant about holding on to Aaron Rodgers after his stellar 2020 campaign. But it seems that despite their best efforts, convincing him to come back might no longer be in their hands.
