Packers coach Matt LaFleur says he has spoken with Aaron Rodgers since the team selected quarterback Jordan Love in the first round of this weekend's draft, and insists he wants Rodgers to remain the team's starter for as long as possible. (ESPN)
Fantasy Impact:
"Aaron is a pro, and he's the leader of our football team, and I anticipate that for a really long time," LaFleur said Saturday after the draft concluded. "I have so much respect for him not only as a player but the person, and some of the stuff that nobody sees. So I can't tell you how much I like working with him". The Packers are saying all the right things but their actions speak volumes. Rodgers asked for more weapons coming out of this weekend but Green Bay used their first three picks on a quarterback, a two-down running back, and a tight end that the team plans to utilize as a fullback. The Packers are apparently transitioning to more of a run-focused offense in 2020. It will likely be a season filled with drama in Green Bay.
