As a guess - I think Aaron is pulling some of these strings - Bennet, Van Pelt, keeping M3 for now.
From what I understand Aaron has become very close to Van Pelt so I doubt Rodgers is pulling any strings here. But he did do one thing - by being unavailable he truly exposed how dependent we are to his considerable skills camouflaging the shortcomings on the rest of the roster. After crashing and burning this year and missing the playoffs they all had to finally realize they weren't doing everything they could to win championships. IMO having a season like we just had was a blessing in disguise. Maybe now all of these changes will help us get at least one more ring before #12 retires.
