Despite rumors and reports that Brett Favre never quite treated him like he was a teammate or brother, Aaron Rodgers is all for allowing bygones to be bygones.
The Packers have plans to retire Brett Favre’s jersey this coming year, and reports say Aaron Rodgers was a big reason why. Rodgers said he’s “been on the forefront” of making sure the jersey retirement happens and called Favre being “back in the fold” an”important” thing.
“I’ve kind of been on the forefront of getting this thing done, you know, in my own way,” Rodgers said. “I wanted to make sure my voice was out there and behind Brett coming back. I think it’s important to bring him back into the fold. It was a great thing to be able to announce that and retire his number and put his number in the Packer Hall of Fame, which is obvious – of course it’s going to happen. He’s one of the greatest Packers of all-time and one of the greatest NFL players of all-time.
“It’s good to get him back here and hopefully get him here in the fall, as well.”
