Aaron Rodgers appears disappointed the Packers no longer have Jordy Nelson at wide receiver and Alex Van Pelt as his quarterbacks coach.

"I think it's pretty clear that players play and coaches coach and personnel people make their decisions," Rodgers said in an interview with a Milwaukee radio station late last week. "That's the way they want it."

The Packers cut Nelson on March 9 with one year remaining on the four-year, $39 million extension he signed in 2014.

"It's the tough part of the business; when you get close to guys and spend a lot of time with them and play with them a long time and [you're] not able to finish up with them," Rodgers said. "Jordy and I had a really good feel for each other and obviously made a lot of plays over the years."

The Packers would like to sign Rodgers to an extension this offseason.
