They knew he was unvaccinated.   And apparently let him violate protocal.  League IMO needs to hammer the Packers. 

Yep.

NFL's protocols also specifically prohibit unvaccinated players from gathering with more than three other players outside of the facility,

Rodgers did attend the team's Halloween party last weekend and his John Wick costume did not include a face covering in the photos posted online.

Rogers posted the photos of the Halloween party.  He is so egotistical he thinks he is above and can flaunt the rules.

Rodgers’ attendance at a Halloween party hosted by tight end Marcedes Lewis last weekend also might be of interest to the league. Rodgers widely shared on social media photographs of his John Wick costume, and other photos and videos showed him partying with teammates while unmasked.

The NFL’s protocols state that unvaccinated players cannot gather with more than three teammates away from the team facility (unless while traveling with the team),

Rodgers, though, has not worn a mask during any of his weekly news conferences, which are held indoors in an auditorium-style room at Lambeau Field. He also has not worn a mask at any postgame news conferences,

IIRC, I think the 3rd string QB has also tested positive so far.

 

Rogers should have been run out of GB after his disparaging remarks about the city.

What a cowardly thing to do.  Rodgers tried to have it both way.  At least people like Cole Beasely wear it on their sleeves.  For someone so fond of calling out others despite being a super sensitive snowflake, this should be a much bigger deal.

The vaccine isn't as much the issue as the lying and the cover up.  Rodgers isn't above the rules both the NFL and NFLPA created.

He knew, the team knew, and the league knew. That’s why they started pointing fingers as soon as this surfaced. League said it was the responsibility of each team, Matt LaFleur referred the question of Rodgers vaccination status to Rodgers. He tried to make the case to the league that his homeopathic remedy should qualify him as being “vaccinated.”  He was told, in no uncertain terms, that it didn’t.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
