SNOWBOUND33 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 23 hours ago, purplemonster said: The Vikings gave up two good players three first-round draft picks 3 seconds and something else. I mean maybe Rodgers could get four first round draft picks? But I doubt it and even then it still wouldn't probably equal the deal. The Vikings basically made the Cowboys dynasty of the 90s, granted they did draft well. Only way to so 4 1st rnd. is on draft day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The salary cap hit goes down >$10 million if he's traded after June 1. So everyone just R-E-L-A-X and let this play out. Where's the fun in that Rodgers won't be traded, he won't hold out, he won't retire, he will be the Packers starting QB in week 1 of the 2021 season.

I tend to agree but what makes you so sure? He's 37 years old, if he doesn't want to be there, he won't be there. At this point I'm 60/40 he's back. The riff is real.

It is just my opinion, I know its boring and doesn't generate a lot of discussion but that's not my angle. I think they work things out, and I don't think he's ready to retire of have a messy holdout situation. Yes the rift (not riff, that's a musical term) is real, but it doesn't mean the relationship is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think he leaks this crap? Because he's too afraid to go to management or ownership? He's always pulling this crap. Him or his people leak shizz so he doesn't have to deal with it. And meanwhile he babyfaces and Shakespeares off the deal like he has no idea what is going on. Edited May 4, 2021 by League_Champion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Just now, LordOpie said: actually, I think the team leaked it. On the radio, just before the draft, Mark Schelereth read the text exchange between him and Aaron. Aaron specifically asked Mark who leaked it. It was pretty clear that Aaron didn't leak it, was surprised it was leaked and wanted to know who was responsible. In addition, the info that's come out was that GB and DEN had a confirmed deal in place and the GB GM got cold feet and pulled the offer. I seriously doubt that. There's nothing in it for GB to leak it. They know they'll never get equal value. So give the guy what he wants and keep it hush hush.

It's a business, they don't care about making statements. They need to do what's best for the franchise. Letting Rogers walk or sit does nothing for anyone, especially at his age. Do you really believe they'd slit their own throat just to "make a statement"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) Rodgers will definitely be traded, or retire, or hold out....unless he remains the Packers starting QB and takes the field..... And round goes the drama.....NFL style And it is Rodgers with a D, amazing people could learn how to spell Favre (which sounds like Farv) but can't get this one straight. And since we're talking Favre, here is what he thinks https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31394130/brett-favre-says-not-optimistic-aaron-rodgers-play-green-bay-packers-again Edited May 5, 2021 by stevegrab 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 AJ Hawk, who is one of Rodger's best friends, says there's no way he retires. And he said there's very little chance that he's calling for the GM's firing. So it looks like he'll either be traded or the fences will somehow be mended.
