GREEN BAY, Wis. (NBC 26) — Packers president Mark Murphy said the team is "working on" resolving its conflict with superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Murphy made the comments in his "Murphy Takes 5" column on Packers.com.

"This is an issue that we have been working on for several months," Murphy said. "Brian Gutekunst, Matt LaFleur and I have flown out on a number of occasions to meet with Aaron. We are very much aware of Aaron's concerns and have been working with him (and his agent Dave Dunn) to resolve them."

Murphy added that the Packers "remain committed" to Rodgers in "2021 and beyond."

"He is not only a tremendously talented player, but has developed into a true leader for us," Murphy said. "The relationship that Aaron has forged with Matt and the other offensive coaches has propelled us to the brink of the Super Bowl in two straight years.

"We look forward to competing for another Super Bowl championship with Aaron as our leader."
