Packers Coach Matt LaFleur: 'Can't Imagine' Aaron Rodgers In Another Uniform

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur is one man who doesn't want to experience a football team without Aaron Rodgers.

But based on recent reports, that may be what LaFleur has to do. Those reports say Rodgers no longer desires to play for Green Bay.

"Yeah, I know, and I can't even take my brain to that spot right now," LaFleur told reporters after the NFL Draft on Saturday. "So I just want to do everything in my power to ensure that doesn't happen."

Rodgers has become Packers football.

"I can't fathom not being in Green Bay," LaFleur said. "That's where my mind's at. I don't only love the player, but I love the person. I love working with him on a daily basis; I think we all do -- from the players in that locker room to the coaching staff. Again, I don't even want to let my mind go there."

LaFleur indicated he has spoken with Rodgers recently -- but did not offer any details into that conversation. All he said was he and the Packers want Rodgers to return.

On the other hand, Rodgers reportedly is dead set against it, especially if general manager Brian Gutekunst is back, as OutKick's Bobby Burack relayed.

Either way, all LaFleur seems to know at this point is he wants Rodgers in Green Bay.

"I'll always remain hopeful and optimistic, and certainly, we'll always welcome him back with open arms," LaFleur said. "He knows exactly how not only myself but our staff and our players feel about him. Like I said before, I just can't imagine him not being in a Green Bay Packer uniform."
