You will be in for a rude awakening once the Packers don't feature a HOF quarterback anymore.



I guarantee that the Packers would prefer to trade Rodgers instead of him retiring as they would receive some compensation for him.



I highly doubt there's any truth to that at all.



Without an elite quarterback the Packers lack a lot of talent to be a competitive team. If Love doesn't perform well in his first season as a starter they will be in the running for the #1 overall pick in 2024.



I'm shocked.
I'll take 3yrs in the wilderness for the Packers rather than have him back!

The FO needs to understand that getting a pittance for Rodgers will help send the team into nuclear winter. If Love is going to have a legitimate shot to show his worth, Gute needs to surround him with more weapons. That will only happen if he can get high draft pick(s). Reports that the Jets and Packers will swap first round picks as part of the deal is a farce. 13 and 15 are so close as to make such a swap negligible in value. If the Jets really want Rodgers, make them pay for him. He won't bring anywhere near what the Lions or Seahawks got, but a first or two seconds needs to be the bottom line.

The 2 biggest changes that have helped the Packers are unrestricted free agency and the salary cap. Without those 2 things, I doubt that even with Favre and Rodgers at QB, the Packers stay competitive in the majority of the seasons that one of them was the Packers QB.

There's no doubt the Packers wouldn't have been able to stay competitive without the salary cap being in place. In my opinion free agency has actually hindered the Packers chances of winning more Super Bowls though.

GB might just be thinking fir a 3rd Rounder we can just eat his contract and keep him aboard. It’s financially Risky but not at all undoable.

How do you all think Rodgers would feel about not getting to leave and being our backup to Jordan Love?? over a 2nd or 3rd Rounder?? It’s insulting to him in particular if the Jets did that. Embarrassing would be more adequate. if Rodgers allows that to happen, he’ll ruin his reputation and trust me the Jets will bend some unless they are complete idiots if they let a couple Day 2’s to ruin a once in a lifetime chance.

I think GB is holding out for a #13 or equivalent and I fully support it. It’s 100% fair compensation. I’d want a #43 + 2024 Day 1 (or equivalent). We’re in complete rebuild and we need equity or if we get weak then prepare for a long rebuild. If I’m going down I’m taking Rodgers down with me. I’ll pay him $60m to have him serving Water and clean the bathrooms if that’s what he desires. Stay tuned! :coffee:

Can we please stop suggesting it's a legit option for the Packers to keep Rodgers around as the backup while paying him $60 million? :rolleyes:

In addition I'm absolutely convinced he's not involved in talks between the team and the Jets about the compensation in a trade for him.

I'll take 3yrs in the wilderness for the Packers rather than have him back!

That's ridiculous.

Kinda torn on that. On one hand he is one of the best players to wear the green and gold. On the other the Packers are in salary cap hell and shouldn't pay a 40 year old qb 60 million for this season..or keep kicking that can down the road. If he decided to come back and say this is my last year..let's get another lombardi..I would be open to that as well.
