Green Bay Packers: Aaron Rodgers too sensitive – ex-Pro Bowler takes shot at quarterback

The future of Aaron Rodgers is uncertain. Various franchises are likely to consider him as a trade partner, including the New York Jets. A former Pro Bowler is now railing against the quarterback, saying he is no match for the “Big Apple”

Aaron Rodgers’ future remains a mystery. It is not yet known whether he will stay with the Green Bay Packers or turn his back on the NFL altogether.

Recently, rumours about a trade to the New York Jets, who also showed interest in the quarterback, have been circulating again and again. A former player from the Big Apple doubted that Rodgers would last in New York and called him “too sensitive” for the city.

The 39-year-old could not handle the questions, criticism and general media treatment of athletes in New York, in his opinion, said Tiki Barber, who played running back for the New York Giants for ten years.

Rogers takes on NFL insiders

“If he’s so sensitive that he’s upset that people, reporters, opinion writers, influencers and whoever want to talk about him, he’s going to have a hard time in New York,” the former Pro Bowler said on New York radio station “WFAN. “

Also triggered was Rodgers’ handling of the coverage of his four-day retirement into obscurity. NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter had recently posted the quarterback’s supposed start of isolation was not true. Rodgers then squared off with the duo and the NFL’s beat writing scene.

Rodgers is quite transparent with some info, but that’s exactly why he shouldn’t complain, according to Barber: “If you do something that seems strange to society – which is to sit in a cabin in the woods in complete isolation for four days – people will talk about it. […] If he feels offended by it, he won’t be able to handle the media in New York. “
