[QUOTE="sschind, post: 950931, member: 10247"] you said the Packers cant do anything. I said they can do a lot of stuff. that's not the same thing. You and I must have a language barrier because this is the second time we have had this happen. You make a comment, someone posts an argument and you come back with that's literally what I said when IMO what you said was the exact opposite. I'd like to know what they could have or would have done if they had his decision 4 weeks ago that they will not be able to do when they get his decision either this weekend or next week or pretty much any time before the start of the league year. They know they have to clear a ton of cap space no matter what and they have already started to do that. Obviously the decision or lack of, had no impact on the restructure of Clark, Jones or Bakhtiari. They did that to clear up space they needed anyway. The only thing I can think that they could have possibly done is to sign a guy like Douglas or Campbell rather than waiting until FA starts but that doesn't mean they couldn't talk to those guys and told them what they were thinking. Its possible they did and those guys said they are going to test the market anyway. Its also possible that they told them "we will give you this much for this long but we can't do anything until we get Aarons decision because we have to figure out exactly what we need to do" and both have said "sounds good to us just let us know when we can sign" The Packers have a plan in place no matter what the decision is. They know exactly what they are going to do and as soon as they get Aarons decision they will proceed with whatever plan they have in place for that decision. Rodgers calls and says "I'm coming back" A deal is most likely worked out because I'm sure it would be important in the decision so they sign the deal and Gute says OK, now that we know what Aaron is going to do we have to do this, this and this. This might be to cut Z and Crosby. It might be to extend Alexander. It might be lots of things that they have already determined they would do if Rodgers comes back. OR Aarron says "I'm retiring" so Gute says Ok now we have to do this this and this and again, whatever this this and this are those decisions have already been made. Or Aaron says I want to be traded to which Gute says ok, now we have to do this this and this and in this case, as with the others, this this and this have already been planned for. The only difference in this scenario is they have to decide if they are going to trade him and if so work out a deal with someone. They already know how much they will save if they trade him so they know who they plan on keeping or cutting or whatever else moves they need to make. If they have no plans on trading him they have to do whatever they have decided they were going to do if that is the case. They know what they will do in with any scenario. They just need to wait until they can do it or need to do it and its not really holding them back to wait as 1) they have already been making moves which they couldn't do if the decision was holding them back and 2) its a time when few teams are making moves anyway. Everything is in the discussion stages and they can still discuss all the same things they could with or without the decision. They can even discuss amounts because they know how much they will need and will have with any given scenario. Now if they don't get Aaron's decision by the end of next weekend (the 13th) then things might get a little dicey simply because of the time left and the number of things they have to do but the decisions on what they are going to do are most likely already decided upon.
