Rodgers’ wild offseason revisited with Packers-49ers
The NFL‘s biggest storyline this offseason was Aaron Rodgers‘ unhappiness with the Packers’ organization, particularly his interest in playing elsewhere if things didn’t work out in Green Bay. The report that Rodgers’ top desired landing spot in such a scenario would be the San Francisco 49ers — who passed on him at No. 1 overall in the 2005 draft to take Alex Smith — is nothing new, but what will be new is how Rodgers reacts when he takes on those very 49ers on “Sunday Night Football.”
The 49ers, of course, had interest in acquiring Rodgers, who grew up nearby in Chico, California. Earlier this week, Packers coach Matt LaFleur said he isn’t upset with Kyle Shanahan for San Francisco’s pursuit of his starting quarterback.
“Kyle’s a great friend of mine,” said LaFleur, who is 1-2 against Shanahan and the 49ers. “I haven’t talked to him in a while. It’s just part of the business. … I hold no ill will towards him.”
So, what will happen when Rodgers and the Packers take on the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium? That’s just one of a long list of intriguing Week 3 storylines, as Justin Fields gets his first start for the Bears, Sean Payton and Bill Belichick square off in New England, the Raiders shoot for 3-0 and — oh, yeah — Tom Brady and the defending champion Bucs head to L.A. to take on the unbeaten Rams. Keep coming back here for all the latest updates.
