3-time Super Bowl champion on Aaron Rodgers missing mandatory mini-camp
Transcript
00:00You have any issue with Aaron Rodgers booking a trip not really knowing the calendar and missing mandatory minicamp last month
00:08Due to that trip that he had to egypt. Is that an issue for you at all?
00:12it's tough because
00:14You don't want to miss mandatory minicamp, right? It's it's mandatory
00:18But I think when you kind of look and you take a step back
00:22Aaron rogers is a guy who he doesn't have to really be at the off-season training
00:28And you know for 10 years I got to play with Tom Brady and I think eight or nine out of those 10 years
00:34He showed up almost every day for all of the off-season voluntary mandatory
00:39He was always there and then later in his career. He stopped going to all the voluntary
00:45So I look at Aaron Rodgers. He went to everything this off-season otas
00:49Workouts he was involved in everything from a player standpoint
00:54Is it is it is that what you want to see him go to egypt?
00:57No, but I don't think there's difference from a regular ota practice and a minicamp practice
01:02So if he saw and was at all the ota practices and he missed three days in minicamp
01:07I don't think it's a big problem
01:08I think the problem was the team had an issue with it and this became a bigger deal by them saying it's not excused
01:15He's doing this on his own. So now this story takes off when honestly the players might have been okay
01:22Hey, aaron rogers has been here the whole time. We've been here with him
01:25He has something to take care of for these two or three days. He's gone
01:28I might have had something to take care of a month ago
01:31So the dates of mandatory minicamp don't always come out right away. Sometimes they change so him booking something to me
01:38The bigger issue was the way the team felt about it and the communication between the team
01:43And aaron rogers has now created an issue that every single guy will have to answer when they report back to training camp
