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
