Aaron Rodgers and Bobby Wagner Were Reportedly 'Vocal' in Latest NFL CBA Discussions
By Karl Rasmussen
The NFL and NFLPA are at odds as they work towards a new collective bargaining agreement, with one of the main sticking points being the idea of a 17-game season being implemented.
Well, many players have spoken out against the idea of an additional game, and according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky, two of the more vocal participants in the latest round of discussions were Aaron Rodgers and Bobby Wagner.

Wagner in particular reportedly sought explanation from those who voted "yes" to the inclusion of a 17th game.
Overall talks were said to be contentious, though Packers president Mark Murphy claimed to be optimistic about reaching an agreement. There's still some time, as the current agreement won't expire until March of 2021.
Rodgers and Wagner play an important role in looking after the best interest, so their participation in the talks is of the utmost importance.
