I also doubt they could convince him to retire, he'll want his $60M even if it means not starting. Having him play for the Packers?  That would be about as awkward as sleeping with your ex, in front of her/his family.  A LOT would have to be repaired to do that. The only other thing that bails the Packers out of this stare down is another team suddenly decides they want Rodgers.  Either they didn't get the QB they wanted in the draft or their current starter got hurt before the season started. Otherwise, either the Packers or Jets will cave.  My money is on the Jets, the organization, the fans and the media are all counting on having Rodgers, if they fail on getting him, they will be chastised up and down.</blockquote>
