Packers News: Offseason moves Green Bay should make
A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Thursday, December 20.
Good morning and welcome to the Packers News Report.
Aaron Rodgers has made it clear he intends to play this week in the Green Bay Packers‘ road game against the New York Jets.
Here’s what Rodgers said on Wednesday, according to Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette:
Aaron Rodgers on why he's playing this week: "I think it’s a lot about leadership. If I want to be listened to and followed and looked up to, how could I stand here and say that these games that don’t matter for playoffs, I’m going to cash it in? That’s just not the way I lead."

It’s good to hear Rodgers is determined to play, but it’s now a decision for head coach Joe Philbin and general manager Brian Gutekunst. I understand the reasons for him playing, but would personally not want to risk any long-term injury in two meaningless games.
Here’s a roundup of the latest articles from around the internet.
