Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been vocal the last few seasons about how much he should be paid. The Super Bowl winning quarterback seems to be more worried about his salary this season than the team's salary cap issues. This ultimately led to the departure of wide receiver Davante Adams.

On his radio show "The Herd," Colin Cowherd talked about Patrick Mahomes and his recent comments that he would rather have a legacy in the NFL than make a lot of money. Cowherd said that he loved Mahomes' mentality and criticized the Packers quarterback for not being that way. Cowherd said that if a quarterback wants to win, then money shouldn't be the main objective.

He brought up the example of Tom Brady to illustrate his point, stating that the Tampa QB often took reduced wages to allow teams to be built around him. Cowherd then went on to say that he doesn't believe Rodgers will ever win another Super Bowl because of the greed that he has shown.

Aaron Rodgers criticizes young receiving core

It's no secret that when the Green Bay Packers traded wide receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders, it was a turning point in the team's offense. Now, Aaron Rodgers will have to work with young, less experienced wide receivers, something he hasn't done a lot of during his career.

The 38-year-old quarterback has had a list of veteran receivers that have contributed to the Packers' success throughout the years.

As training camp and preseason continue, it seems that the quarterback may already be losing his patience. He recently stated that the young wide receiving core has a lot of work to do before Week 1 arrives.

You don't want the NFL to become the NBA. Where it's all they talk about is glamor, fame and dollars. And it was Kyler Murray. What's he going to get paid? And Lamar Jackson now what's he going to get paid? And I spent two years on Dak. What's he going to get paid? Who cares? Russell Wilson, that contract, what's he going to get paid? How about less?
So you can win more. I mean, the minute Aaron Rodgers said I want $50 million and made sure the media knew he made $50 million, you're not going to the Super Bowl."

The receiving core at his disposal will consist of Allen Lazard, veteran Randall Cobb, second-round pick Christian Watson and free agent signing Sammy Watkins. This season will look a lot different without his star receiver Davante Adamswho was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders. It's going to be a tough year to repeat as NFC North champs, with the Vikings on the rise looking to take control of the division.
