Rodgers said he also needed to make some adjustments.
“It wasn’t a one-way street,” Rodgers said. “I knew I had to grow up too. I had to be more comfortable with those conversations, respond to them in a timely manner, try to find kindness in the tough times or the difficult conversations we had. I have the feeling like we all grew up and had a good year of communication, we had some great conversations after the season, I felt really good about how it tied together before I left town.
LaFleur and chairman/CEO Mark Murphy had said after the season that they wanted Rodgers back in 2022. They said it was a unanimous decision among the team’s key decision makers.
