GREEN BAY, Wis. -- If Aaron Rodgers is frustrated over a lack of a input into the moves the Green Bay Packers make -- and there have been multiple events that suggest he is -- the two-time NFL MVP wouldn't come right out and say it.

Instead, he said he understands his job description.

"Well, I think I know my role, and that's to play as well as I possibly can at quarterback," Rodgers said Tuesday on the first day of the Packers' offseason workouts.

"There are decisions that are going to be made from a personal standpoint. That's the toughest part. You're in this business for a long time, and you start relationships with your coaches and players. As you get older -- and I knew this as a young player -- if I had the possibility and success to play a long time, I'd probably outlive a lot of close friends in this business. Because the longevity offered to a quarterback is obviously greater than a guy who's banging heads all the time, or running all over the field. So that's the toughest part about the whole thing, is losing guys over the years."
