Aaron Rodgers ranks as the NFL player with the most expensive home, costing $28 million.
Maybe it was the cell service.
Former Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers said the reason he didn’t return calls this past offseason from Packers’ general manager Brian Gutekunst was spotty cell service.
“People who know me, I’m fortunate to live in a beautiful house,” Rodgers said after being traded to the New York Jets. “The only downside is I have very limited cell service. If you want to get ahold of me, I need to see your face. You have to FaceTime me.”
