Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers shouldn't be here.<\/p>\n
The 16-year marriage between one of the most storied franchises and greatest quarterbacks in NFL history shouldn’t have reached the point where it dangles by a thread just months after Rodgers earned MVP honors for a third time.<\/p>\n
But here they are: Rodgers unhappy and wanting out, per multiple reports, and the Packers as a result teetering, with general manager Brian Gutekunst in danger of committing one of the most egregious displays of mismanagement in sports since Jerry Krause broke up Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls. <\/p>\n
