The Brett Favre situation is the elephant in the room here. No matter what Gut might want to do with Rodgers, nobody in the Packer organization wants a repeat of the ugly Favre drama, and we're halfway down that road already. Rodgers will retire a Packer, will be an ambassador for the Packers, and will have a life long association with the Packers. At least that's what the team hopes. Murphy's job is to play diplomat here and try to smooth things out so people move forward on good terms. In other words, I think this is going to be a long drawn out process with a lot going on behind closed doors. In the end, Rodgers may decide that he simply wants to finish his career somewhere else. The Packers will try to make that process happen as cleanly as possible, which might be difficult with Rodgers. But at least he isn't airing all his dirty laundry in front of the media the way Favre did.
