“If this year has taught me anything, it’s I still can play. I still have a love for the game. I’m still super competitive and still enjoy the process of the week. I miss practice, and it’s tough to not be out there. I still do love competing and I love being out there.”

After an offseason of reports that he was forcing his way out of Green Bay and his own admitted unhappiness, Rodgers said that he is pleased with the current direction of the team and his role in it. The veteran said he will have a lot of things to “weigh” in the offseason.

“Saying that doesn’t mean I would want to play elsewhere,” Rodgers said. “The things that I’ve said about the team this year, about [GM] Brian [Gutekunst]’s and I’s relationship, has been heartfelt and genuine. I do appreciate a lot of the things I’ve seen from the team that are directly related to conversations we had in the offseason. That was meaningful to me. I’ve enjoyed being part of conversations that directly affect my job.”

Rodgers also said he has a lot of love for head coach Matt LaFleur, as well as his Packers teammates.

“They make it fun every single day,” he said, adding that the return of receiver Randall Cobb’s this season has made him “exponentially” happier.
