Rodgers is simply saying FU to the team that has already invested over $120 million dollars into his bank account. He's aiming for another payday. And if not, he's going to blame the team as much as possible and then get a large 1 or 2 year contract elsewhere. Contracts and loyalty mean absolutely nothing anymore in the NFL.
Bradshaw certainly had many times in the spotlight when he downright sucked!! But the TEAM grew as a whole and they eventually were the best. Terry was tough as hell underneath and could take the beatings he received. But the teams were different back then. And even with 4 bowls over a 10 year period, you didn't see guys bailing after a SB win for a payday elsewhere. Contracts were honored and loyalty existed. Guys were known to rework and take less money if they had to, but wanted to remain, wanted the "team" together & were family oriented. Why I always loved the Steelers.
But Rodgers is being a dick IMO. And he's far from the first pulling this BS. Le'veon Bell sat out an entire year on purpose with the Steelers and ended up elsewhere for more money - and hasn't ever been the same since, not nearly as many yards and carries. Haha for him. It's ALL about money money money and making as much as possible.
