Ex-NFLPA Chief Criticizes Aaron Rodgers as Isolated, Dismissive in Memoir
In his forthcoming book 'Turf Wars,' former NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith criticizes Aaron Rodgers for being 'isolated and dismissive' during union meetings, especially regarding the contentious 2020 collective bargaining agreement and the expansion to a 17-game regular season. Smith describes Rodgers as an impressive antagonist who frequently expressed his displeasure by sighing loudly and making dramatic exits from meetings. The book also touches on Rodgers' recent move to the Pittsburgh Steelers following a turbulent stint with the New York Jets and highlights ongoing scrutiny of his character, including recent criticism from his ex-girlfriend Danica Patrick. Smith's candid observations extend beyond Rodgers, as he also calls out other prominent NFL figures such as commissioner Roger Goodell and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Despite his controversies, Rodgers is reportedly bonding with his new Steelers teammates ahead of what is likely to be his final NFL season. Smith’s book is anticipated to provide further behind-the-scenes insights on key NFL personalities and labor disputes during his tenure.
