[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 911483, member: 7261"] As much as that is a part of this, I think you have to weigh what you gain by forcing the NFL's reining MVP into retirement VS what you gain by saying "We prefer putting the team ahead of one guy, so we are going to do what gets us the most long term value for the organization." So I think we all know the potential "upsides" of trading. What are the upsides of forcing Rodgers to retire? [LIST] [*]Very strong message to players that the team will not capitulate to players’s demands when they are under contract. [*]Very strong message that the Wardens are in charge of the prison. I say that jokingly, but to some extent its true. [*]Packers get the final say in the matter, at least for 3 years. [/LIST] Feel free to add to these, I know I am missing something. Downsides of forcing him to retire: [LIST] [*]No trade value received for him. [*]NFL players perceptions of the Packer organization (+'s and -'s) [*]3 years (or more) of "Rodgers talk". "What are the Packers doing with Aaron Flippin' Rodgers?" [*]Final perception of fans/media forcing one of the best NFL players of all times into retirement several years earlier than he wanted. [/LIST] How often does this happen that its important to make this point of "we make all the decisions here in Green Bay"? Very easy to justify the fact that the policy is flexible, depending on the value of the player. I understand not wanting to give in to what I would call blackmail "trade me or I don't report/play", but I still think the upsides of trading him far outweigh the negative. Trading him ends the situation for the most part. Sitting him just keeps fanning the flames of what is already becoming one of the biggest off field distractions for the Packers since Favre. Take the picks while you can and use them to try and keep the team competitive, while you look for Rodgers heir apparent. [/QUOTE]
