Matt LaFleur wasn't happy with 49ers going after Aaron Rodgers
When Aaron Rodgers came out and said that he wasn't sure if he'd return to the Packers or not in 2021, trade rumors started swirling. Among the teams interested were the San Francisco 49ers.

It's easy to understand why LaFleur was annoyed over this. Rodger is a future Hall of Famer and loved by Packers fans everywhere. He wasn't a fan of Kyle Shanahan calling, even if he was just doing his due-diligience on the matter.
