Aaron Rodgers publicized his retreat with Pittsburgh Steelers teammates via an Instagram post on Sunday night. It’s been the talk of the town — and largely the NFL scene — since.
Mike Florio doesn’t seem to care who was there — DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Roman Wilson, Ben Skowronek, Pat Freiermuth and Mason Rudolph — but rather who wasn’t.
“I wonder how the guest list was determined,” Florio said Monday on “Pro Football Talk.” “Slightly more exclusive than the Travis Kelce/Taylor Swift wedding invitation list. Were there others invited that couldn’t make it? Are there members of the team that are wondering, ‘Where’s mine? Why didn’t I get invited? Why am I not there?’ You wonder. You wonder how many more feel like they should’ve been invited and didn’t get invited.”
The trip, which appeared to be in the Jackson Hole, Wyo., area, didn’t look to have the runway for the receivers to run under deep balls from Rodgers and Rudolph. That didn’t stop Florio from wondering if it was at all a work excursion.
“Were they working out?” Florio said. “It’s pass-catchers and two quarterbacks. Was it primarily a workout thing or was it just a ‘let’s just hang out and spend time together’ thing? The photos all speak to just hanging out and spending time together — riding horses, around the campfire, smoking cigarettes. That sounds like a pretty good party to me.”
Rodgers was locker neighbors with Freiermuth last season. He also seemed to have a good relationship with Skowronek and spoke glowingly of the other teammates, as well.
