All about QBs as camps begin

Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson appeared on the field at their teams’ first training camp practices.

Lamar Jackson was absent from his after testing positive for COVID-19. Zach Wilson is still away and without a contract.

It was all about the quarterbacks in the NFL on Wednesday — those present and the few who weren’t.

In Green Bay, Rodgers worked out with the Packers and then detailed some of the unresolved issues that caused friction between him and the franchise.

The reigning league M V P, who prev iously skipped organized team activities and mandatory minicamp, said during a nearly six-minute long response that he wanted to have a voice in the team’s decision-making process and believed the organization didn’t treat departing high-character veterans with enough respect. He also was hoping for a commitment from Green Bay beyond this year, but didn’t receive that.

“I felt like if you can’t commit to me past 2021 and I’m not part of your recr uit in g proc e ss in free agency, if I’m not a part of the future,” the 37-year-old Rodgers said, “then instead of letting me be a lame-duck quarterback, if you want to make a change and move forward, then go ahead and do it.”

Both the three-time NFL MVP and Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst insisted they’re solely focused on this season.

“I’m just going to enjoy this year,” Rodgers said, “and then revisit that conversation at the end of the season.”

Rodgers will have a familiar face back in the offense as the Packers acquired wide receiver Randall Cobb, who spent his first eight NFL seasons in Green Bay, from the Houston Texans for an undisclosed draft pick.

“I’m really excited Randall’s coming back,” Rodgers said.
