"I don't have any animosity toward the organization. Obviously I wish that things had been better in our last year there, but I have a great relationship with a lot of people still in that organization, and this is not a revenge game for me. I'm just excited to see some of those guys and be on 'Sunday Night Football' again."
"Brett got traded, and then he went to one of the hated rivals."
"I was in New Jersey for a couple years."
Aaron Rodgers said he does not view the upcoming Steelers-Packers game as a revenge matchup and holds no animosity toward the Packers organization. He said he wished the final year in Green Bay had been better but maintains strong relationships with many people there and is excited to see former teammates and appear on Sunday Night Football. Rodgers was drafted No. 24 overall by Green Bay in 2005, became the full-time starter in 2008 replacing Brett Favre, and spent 15 seasons as the team's starter. He was traded to the New York Jets in April 2023, which installed Jordan Love as Green Bay's starter. Rodgers contrasted his situation with Favre's 2009 matchup, noting Favre joined a hated rival while Rodgers spent time in New Jersey, and he called the Week 1 win over the Jets "nice" but suggested the Green Bay game will feel different.
