[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 911104, member: 7261"] Great points and I agree. However, they still call it a team sport and players seem to say that "its not about me, its about the team". If it ever got out that it no longer is about the team, but about the needs of the individual player, it might ruin the game. In Rodgers situation, it might come off to the casual fan as "Jesus Packers, do what is right and give this guy what he wants, we are nothing without him!". While I agree that our wins and losses will take a ding without Rodgers, you still have to view this as a team sport and if you cave to one player, who really does not appear to have what is best for the team at the front of this, then you go down a slippery path. I also don't agree that Rodgers has the Packers over a barrel in regards to the cap hit either. If they trade him, they split up the dead cap over the next 2 seasons. Which if I did my math correct is currently at $31.556 M...so $15.778/season. Painful, but considering the Cap Hit on them this season with him playing is $37.202 M if he plays and next year $39.852 M it isn't that bad. Also, if he refuses to play/retires, they should only have to account for the scheduled dead cap hits during the time it takes for him to declare he is done with football, thus not paying his salary, roster bonuses or workout bonuses. In short, the Packers still have Rodgers over a pretty decent size barrel. [/QUOTE]
