I’ve seen the word “literally” misused often and that’s why I put it in quotes when I responded to your post. But you appear to have meant it correctly so IMO that post and your most recent displays a fundamental misunderstanding of NFL contracts. If any player could opt out of his contract and sign with another team in “20 minutes”, chaos would reign in the NFL. Think about all the players unhappy with their current deals – why don’t they just “opt out”? The answer is they can’t. For example, Rodgers is signed through the 2014 season. If he decides to literally walk - to not to show up for work - he could be fined daily by the Packers for his absence and his contract would be “frozen” such that the Packers would retain his rights for 2 seasons plus the 2 games remaining in this regular season. Unless the Packers trade him or waive him, Rodgers has to play for them through 2014 or he can’t play in the NFL. So your suggestion would be the most idiotic action Rodgers could take in objecting to the acquisition of a player the Packers may view as a TE (or ILB for all I know). </blockquote>
