Rodgers reportedly disgruntled, does not want to return to the Packers

[Sunshinepacker]

If you read between the lines this has been Aaron's M.O. since at least college...middle child B.S. and all

Translation: Rodgers is far better at his job than the guys who have been running the team and is upset about that. Yeah, I'm sure nobody else can relate.

 

[Sunshinepacker]

Plenty here have criticized Gute, and even some others have said he miscalculated the decline many suspected was happening with Rodgers.

Really, can you point me to the Gute criticism in this thread? It's there, but you gotta weed through a LOT of "send Rodgers packing" bs.

 

[Mondio]

equally weird is thinking one man is bigger than the team. Gute drove him away with 100 million dollars LOL. "I hate you Aaron, here's 100 million"

if he doesn't want to play here, fine. I don't believe it, but if true, why do I want to cheer for someone that doesn't want to be here? likewise, if Gute wanted to leave, see ya. has nothing to do with hating anyone.

 

[Ceodore]

Of course I'd love for him to stay but there's a part of me that would like to see how he does with another team. AR is smart and terrific but there are times when it goes to his head. He was obviously outstanding last year but he's getting older and we can't expect that performance in the long term. If he's not willing to restructure to make the team better, we're not superbowl bound anyway imo so sayonara.

Translation: "I had JerMichael Finley Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams, the best RB combo in the league in 2020, the best O-Line in the league through various points in my career, and one of the best secondaries in the league in 2020 and you didn't give me enough at any point in my career, so that I could win a 2nd championship with my limited ability to win a game from behind" THAT is the real correct translation.

If reports are true Gute isnt the one throwing a fit now. The love pick has been criticized a ton but pretty much everyone. Right now the news is about our star qb saying he wants out with no real reason than a draft pick last year

Oh I meant on the forum, sorry. Wasn't meaning this thread specifically.

It's hilarious irony watching you criticize Rodgers for acting childish..... lmao

not saying the reports aren't true- i have no idea- but that is the definition of clout chasing

What is the cap hit if the Packer trade Rodgers

 

[tynimiller]

The Jets have 21 draft picks the next two drafts.

They need a QB.

If this is not solveable Gute, call the Jets up and make something happen for Rodgers.

Then move the 2nd pick this year to another QB hungry team. LOAD the freaking roster up and let's see if Love is the future.

IF this is true. BIG IF.

 

[tynimiller]

The grudge in Rodgers is planted so deep he is done with Green Bay I fear....

The ONLY thing Gute I think does to not have this explode is to eat your mistake of Love and trade him for what you can get and commit to Rodgers ASAP

@Pkrjones disagree with what? LOL

First part is a fear, if this has any legs to truth that fear is completely real and merely an opinion.

The second part would be the only way Gute could move forward with Rodgers as part of the team, IF that is his desire.

 

[Firethorn1001]

Maybe they also drafted Love because they are tired of the passive aggressive/hidden meaning drama that Rodger's relishes.

 

[tynimiller]

Honestly IF a move is going to occur I sense he would have to restructure his contract, but not a finance guru to whether there is much ground to make.

 

[Pkrjones]

That NYJ move could turn AR into at least 5 #1's - create a 10 yr dynasty even if Love is slightly above average.

Any possibility this was intentionally leaked by gb to drum up trade interest going into draft night?

 

[red4tribe]

This source indicates that management was going to trade Rodgers but then backed off. Not sure if I believe that, but I am puzzled why this is coming to a head now. And if there is truth to it, how could Gute have seriously considered trading Rodgers after last season? Love has literally never seen the field in the NFL. Not even in the preseason. The chances of us having three HOF QBs in a row is slim, so you don't move on from Rodgers for at least a couple more seasons, in my mind. We drafted a QB 1-2 years too early.

I doubt it. But if Rodgers has truly decided not to return, and there is no changing his mind, Gute needs to deal him now.

 

[tynimiller]

Gute needs to release a statement if this is all true...that

"the organization does not want to disrespect a man and player which has done so much for Green Bay over his playing career. It is with this, we unfortunately are taking calls on Aaron and will do all we can to respect him and this franchise as we both enter a new era."

I think Rodgers will be able to dictate this thing a lot more than what some realize. If he were to put it out there that he would retire if sent to the Jets, they wouldn't make the trade.

IF it comes down to a trade situation, I think it could be a rare case of Rodgers having enough leverage to have a list of teams he would be willing to go to.

Doesn't happen like this often in the NFL. But Rodgers has a rare amount of leverage in my opinion.

Because if I were Rodgers, I would rather retire and (perhaps) become the new host of Jeopardy than get my teeth kicked in for 17 weeks playing for the Jets.

 

[sjb12681]

Know who could put this to rest right now, but won't?

Aaron Rodgers. The team has spoken, the media insiders have spoken. No aaron. If he wanted to settle this "nonsense" he could do it in a moment.

But he won't because this isn't smoke.

It's a fire. Even if we don't trade him, he is looking to hold the team to the fire, for either help tonight in the draft or to send his backup away for a show of "dedication".

I've said it before, I root for the Packers, not the qb of the team. If we get an offer that makes sense, make it happen. No sense in keeping a player who wants to force his way out.

 

[Mondio]

IF GB wanted to trade him they wouldn't have to drum up interest. They'd just call teams and say, "hey, you interested" they wouldn't have to leak anything.
