So Aaron Rodgers wants General Manager Brian Gutekunst fired. [View all]

This seems to be his primary beef with the Green Bay Packers.

Tell me, does this ever happen? Do GMs get fired because a star player refuses to work for them?

The Packers did get rid of Mike McCarthy a couple years ago and got a better coach.

Just wondering if it is possible that the Packers could actually do this.

It might be more likely if it were any other team (one with a single majority owner)... RockRaven May 2021 #1

We are from Green Bay. Those are all rumors as far as we can tell. LakeArenal May 2021 #2

Michael Jordan pulled something similar in 1998, and the Bulls called his bluff. Bleacher Creature May 2021 #3

The difference being, Jordan already had his 6 NBA championships milestogo May 2021 #4

Good point, although he is an odd guy, so he could still decide to walk away. Bleacher Creature May 2021 #7

I'm not a football guy so I'm gonna ask this here. Can Rodgers just walk away? mitch96 May 2021 #5

He can refuse to show up but he can't play for another NFL team unless released or traded. Angleae May 2021 #6
