Aaron Rodgers once told the world to relax. Cam Heyward is now doing the same thing on Rodgers\u2019 behalf. Hosting a live episode of his Not Just Football podcast<\/a> after Thursday\u2019s schedule release, co-host Hayden Walsh asked Heyward for his thoughts on Rodgers.<\/p>\n \u201cBro, chill out. He\u2019ll get there when he gets there,\u201d Heyward said of Rodgers. \u201cIt\u2019s the middle of summer. If anyone knows the system better than anybody, it\u2019s Aaron. And he\u2019s not a big proponent into having this long training. I think he trains well on his own. He knows what his body needs at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n Rodgers spent more than a decade of his career playing for head coach Mike McCarthy. He would have a seamless transition picking it up again. It\u2019s created less urgency for him to sign early, and frankly, may be the only reason why the door was left open for Rodgers to return. Hiring any other head coach and different system would\u2019ve been incentive for Rodgers to retire \u2013 or for the new coach to want to go in a different direction.<\/p>\n When asked, Heyward said he didn\u2019t think Rodgers was in Pittsburgh last weekend despite a flurry of reports suggesting<\/a> that he would be or was there. While Heyward didn\u2019t present that as fact, he was positive the two weren\u2019t hanging out together after speculation Rodgers was in town to celebrate Heyward\u2019s 37th birthday.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re grown men,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re not celebrating birthdays together. I didn\u2019t even have a birthday party. My agent\u2019s calling me saying there\u2019s multiple reports saying, \u2018Is he hanging out with Cam?’\u201d<\/p>\n
