As the franchise announced its decision to move on from Rodgers, Greenberg expressed his unwillingness to let go of the high hopes they had for him. The mock mourning showcased the stark contrast between expectations and reality.
On Monday's episode of Get Up, Mike Greenberg led a mock mourning ceremony for Aaron Rodgers's jersey, symbolizing the disappointing end to high expectations.
