“#Packers ‘drove Aaron Rodgers nuts’ by cutting Jake Kumerow<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Maybe it wasn\u2019t all about Love.<\/p>\n

According to NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapaport. the \u201cdeath knell\u201d<\/a> in the relationship between Aaron Rodgers and the Packers was the decision to release receiver Jake Kumerow. <\/p>\n

Rodgers had publicly praised Kumerow, who had been with the team since 2017, before lsat season and then the veteran was promptly cut one day later.<\/p>\n

\u201cRodgers wanted to be more involved in some of the personnel decisions,\u201d Rapaport said Monday. \u201cThis is crazy, but it does seem like it drove Rodgers nuts was when the organization cut Jake Kiumerow just a day after he praised him publicly. <\/p>\n

\u201cDescribed as a little bit of a death knell in the relationship. So much here to fix and I know now the Packers are trying to fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Packers, according to Yahoo<\/a>, opted to keep Malik Taylor over Kumerow in their final cuts. That came several months after they opted to trade up and draft Rodgers\u2019 heir app<\/a>arent, Jordan Love, in the first round of the draft.<\/p>\n

That decision fanned distrust that was seemingly exacerbated by the surprise release of Kumerow.<\/p>\n

\u201cJake Kumerow has been such a solid performer for us for the last couple years,\u201d Rodgers told Sirius XM NFL Radio, according to PackersNews.com.<\/a> \u201cI love his reliability. I think he\u2019s a fantastic, steady player who\u2019s very heady on the field, he makes plays. He plays with a lot of confidence, and he\u2019s a guy you love having on the squad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kumerow appeared in six game<\/a>s for Buffalo and had one catch.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
