He's a team player and he knows the value others have had on his career, and he paid homage to a lot of former teammates that he toe'd the line with. Respect!"

Another fan wrote: "Let's be honest. Jeopardy told Aaron he wouldn't be offered the job so he came back for a year. At the end of the season he will be a FA and work a deal for a team in CA or closer to CA. GB will regret not trading him."

One person noted: He's not 'just a player' he should have a say in who he is throwing to. They don't go out of the way to give him weapons as it is, then they reduce his arsenal already on the roster? As if they want him to struggle further."

Reporter challenged Aaron Rodgers: Why do you want to be involved? Many of the players you wanted back ended up not having great years once they left. If the Packers didn't decide to move on from Favre, you wouldn't be here.

And this fan wrote: "About time, actually. I agree with much of what he's said about his team, the state they play in, and the culture this region represents. It's not all good. And that's fine; being honest and showing support for mental health being prioritized in sports and society is key here.."
