According to Rapoport, Rodgers has been unhappy at times during this situation.

Rapoport adds that Rodgers had his agent Dave Dunn fly out to Green Bay for several days of meetings to work through the situation. Rodgers refused a structured contract and wants an extension from the team. Green Bay has offered him one, but he turned it down.

Rapoport says that this is all about getting an extension done and if that happens, this should all be taken care of.
