Aaron Rodgers has been given more input on personnel decisions with the Green Bay Packers since the start of last season.

"Brian and I have a real good relationship," Rodgers said of Packers GM Brian Gutekunst on The Pat McAfree Show. "We communicate often about a number of different things, not just personnel stuff, but also the team and direction, mindset and energy and how everybody's kind of fitting together." 

Rodgers added that he has had conversations with Green Bay front office ahead of the trade deadline. The Packers are a disappointing 3-3 after this past Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. The NFL's trade deadline in Nov. 1. 

"I trust that they'll be in the mix on certain guys that they like," Rodgers said. "As always, it comes down to need price cost of those certain players, but I know Brian's going to do what's best for our football team and if he feels like adding a guy or two to the mix, then I'm sure he's going to try and make that happen."
