Aaron Rodgers is officially holding out.

The star quarterback wasn't in attendance when the Green Bay Packers kicked off their mandatory minicamp on Tuesday morning, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Green Bay expected Rodgers' absence as he opted not to attend OTAs amid a dispute with the organization.

The 37-year-old can be fined $93,085 for not attending the mandatory camp and has already forfeited a $500,000 workout bonus for skipping voluntary practices last month, according to Pelissero.

Rodgers reportedly has taken issue with general manager Brian Gutekunst and the Packers' philosophy. Green Bay has held firm on not trading the reigning MVP thus far.

Jordan Love is expected to take the starters' snaps during head coach Matt LaFleur's practices running from June 8-10.
