[QUOTE="sschind, post: 951021, member: 10247"] I read that earlier today and didn't learn anything new. Its more of the same speculation. Aaron hasn't told us yet so that means he doesn't know. Maybe he does maybe he doesn't. The only thing that would make me think otherwise is if someone said "Aaron Rodgers told me he is completely torn" everything else is a rehash of the same old crap. Sources say... I really don't care what sources say I care what Aaron says. That's why he said soon to be. Guys like Douglas or Campbell who can still negotiate with the Packers (or the players in the same situation with their own teams.) No one is signing their own guys right now. They are waiting. Either until closer to the start of the new year or because the players have said no thanks I'll wait to see what I can get. These team have no one holding them back and yet they are not signing these guys so what makes you think the Packers would be making deals with their guys. I'd be willing to bet that Douglas and Campbell know pretty much exactly where the Packers stand with their interest as do pretty much all the players in the same situation around the league are with their respective teams. A few teams have announced moves but so have the Packers. None of them are really surprises. They could announce them last month or in 2 weeks and the outcomes would be the same. that's the way it done. Most deals don't get done until the last few days. The thing is they do not have to wait until Rodgers lets them know to make all their decisions. They most likely have already made most them they just have to wait and see which ones to implement. You make it sound like when they get the phone call they are going to be "So Aaron has decided, now we can talk about what we are going to do with everyone else. They already know what they are going to do with everyone else no matter what Aaron decides. This is the one thing I would agree with. Had Rodgers let them know a month ago some of those players might know their fates already but its possible they do know their fates and nothing has been said publicly. Or its equally possible the Packers would still not have made any moves until the deadline gets closer. I think what might be our main bone of contention is not that things are on hold but the impact that it is having. There is no doubt that many of the moves the Packers will make are dependent on Rodgers decision. In that respect things are on hold.
