It's been a hectic few days in the NFL, which will heavily impact Week 9's matchups. ✍️: MikeyJ_MMA
In a week that has seen the NFL’s trade deadline pass and its rushing leader Derrick Henry get placed on injured reserve, no story has received more attention than Green Bay Packers franchise quarterbackThe reigning MVP is unavailable for his team’s Sunday matchup with Kansas City, but it was the future Hall of Famer’s vaccination status and comments regarding the global pandemic and NFL COVID policies that caused quite the stir heading into the weekend.
The 37-year-old prefaced many of his comments by clarifying that he is not a COVID denier, anti-vaxxer or flat-earther, insisting he “just wanted to make the decision that was best for my body” but he didn’t shy away from asking specific questions and touching on certain COVID-related topics oft considered taboo by some media outlets and individuals.
He added: “I understand that the league is able to put into place its own policies. I didn’t agree to any of them, though. I didn’t sign a piece of paper that gave away my rights to live a normal season of life.”Following an off-season rift and contract restructuring, Rodgers’s long-term future with Green Bay is not entirely clear.
The team reportedly didn’t appreciate the video and Beckham apparently never reached out to his quarterback and the team made the decision to cut ties.
