Not to put words in Demovsky’s mouth, but that is typically the speculative number you see thrown out there when someone wants to leave open the possibility of something happening – because, hey, anything can happen – but is otherwise pretty convicted that it will not happen. ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, who has been covering the story closely since last week from the Green Bay perspective, was on the radio this weekend and again today saying that he believes there’s only a 5% chance Rodgers ultimately returns to the Packers this year. Well, if you ask the plugged-in local media in Green Bay, it doesn’t look good. Maybe so, but if Rodgers just flat out will not return to the organization without massive changes (and a new contract), then what? We want to leave every avenue open for that to happen.” That’s my opinion and that’s the organization’s opinion. This isn't a casting of Pirates of the Caribbean, where Bedard plays a seemingly remorseful Jack Sparrow who has just been taken captive and forces the dreaded "parlay" card onto the crew.At last check, Packers GM Brian Gutekunst is still very much un-booted, and is out there telling the world that things are fine and no trade is coming: “No, I don’t think at all. Whatever happened to accurate and responsible journalism? Then, instead of taking responsibility for allowing insufficiently researched information to be published, he basically pretends it didn't happen.īedard did follow up with that other article, stating that Kennan did have the wrong information and had indeed apologized. Yet he was unable to confirm through a source closer to the Packers that such pay cuts had actually taken place? I realize Bedard was given false information, but he has a long history with the Packers organization and sources close to the team. I find it amusing that Bedard was given a piece of information, and without verifying it through another source, published it as fact. You can read the statement regarding the false information and apology here. Larry Kennan, head of the NFL Coaches Association, who is credited with giving Bedard the false information, has since apologized through Bedard and the Globe. Needless to say, the Packers released a statement claiming that they have not, and do not plan on, cutting any salaries of their assistant coaches in the future. In the aforementioned article, Bedard revealed that Green Bay was one of the few teams in the NFL to effectively cut the salaries of the entire assistant coaching staff, which further cast his departure in an unfavorable light from the perspective of Packers fans.
