So you have a bombshell and you sit on it for 2 weeks, playing Russian roulette that someone else could break the story, since so many people supposedly knew? Shefty got caught in a sketchy piece of business. You won't change my mind otherwise. He was operating on the outer boundaries on this one. He was lucky that there was some merit to it because, even by his own words;

"This was an accumulation, all during the offseason, of just listening to people talk and observing,” Schefter said. “And if we go back to the NFC Championship Game that the Green Bay Packers lost at home, did we not hear Aaron Rodgers after that game talk about his level of unhappiness, if you will, uncertainty for the future?

"Just go back and listen to that press conference, and it sounds almost like he’s saying goodbye to Green Bay. And so you’re antennas up, and I’m just telling you throughout the course of the offseason, there was rarely a week that went by that I didn’t hear something about Aaron Rodgers.”

“And then people said that the 49ers called, and I said ‘How long until it comes out that Aaron Rodgers wants out of Green Bay? Is it next week? Is it when he doesn’t show to the OTAs? Is it next month?’… It’s going to come out. What does it matter if it comes out now, or next week, or next month?”

“It was nothing that morning that came in… It was going on all offseason, you just keep hearing it, and there was more and more talk and now there starts to be Aaron Rodgers, and I said ‘You know what, this isn’t going to wait much longer,’ and it just happened to be Draft Day.”

Those were his words. He heard talk and listened to others report on it and observed others on the subject. I just think Schefter is sketchy and he got lucky with this one. I hope people look a little harder at his so called inside info and reporting.

And yes i am also confident that this was corroborated before they ran with it
 
Pack you may be right, and I may just have a poor opinion of the media in general. But, until a media person shows me proof of corraboration, I call Bull.

Well the media is an easy target. And honestly it’s been corroborated. Not just from “the media” but from GB & camp Rodgers.

Sorry old buddy, I wasn't clear. Corroborated before breaking the story. Don't believe that happened.

100% disagree. Not chance that “Disney family of networks” just lets it go un checked

Keg I’m sorry but the Packers confirmed there is a problem. Not every detail maybe but this organization is normally puckered up so tight, half the franchise value is from the diamonds that fall out of their behinds. For all three guys in leadership to address this in public speaks volumes about how real it is.

Waiting to report? They're all trying to show they're first. I have a hard time believing a reporter held a story 2 weeks. You may not.

“Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers is so disgruntled with the Green Bay Packers that he has told some within the organization that he does not want to return to the team, league and team sources told ESPN on Thursday,” Schefter reported. “The Packers are aware of his feelings, concerned about them and have had team president Mark Murphy, general manager Brian Gutekunst and head coach Matt LaFleur each fly out on separate trips to meet with Rodgers at various points this offseason, sources told ESPN.

Anyone else find the bolded odd? So which is it, he held onto it or he found out Thursday. So, even by his own admission on DP show, he didn't have one piece of evidence drop into his lap on Thursday. So now what? Was his writing misreporting or did he just forget? He is sketchy, imo.

This.... this isn't some hack local paper like the GB Press Gazette. Disney isn't going to risk looking amatuer.
