Who Will Aaron Rodgers Play For In 2023 (Or Will He Play)?

[jklowan]

Would you trade the assets you get for Rodgers + Love for Lamar? I probably wouldn’t but boy that’s be interesting

I read yesterday That Rogers has let the Packers know he prefers the Raiders, who knows though it could just be the media pukes As long as we get a 1st next year min I'm good where ever he ends up. I want to see Love play before making another move, besides Love cost a 1st and a 2nd, no way we get even close to that back.

source?
I wouldn't believe anything until he emerges from his darkness lol

FWIW, Love cost a 1st and a 4th, and is likely why they took DeGuara in R3 instead of on Day 3.

Congratulations to beveaux1, George Cumby, Jaire, jklowan, Joemailman, KYPack, NewsBruin, RashanGary, Spaulding, and Upnorth for picking the Jets.

[jklowan]

can't remember the source, but I though it was his agent that let the brass know

Gotcha.
So I see APC posted an article that the Jets are officially interested, according to Fowler at ESPN.

What else we know:
Folwer's report comes after Rappaport previously reported that multiple teams have already inquired.
Rappaport and Pelissero have also reported that the Packers are willing to trade Rodgers if he requests a change of scenery.
Gute has said at least twice that the team wanted Rodgers to be on the squad next season.
Rodgers has said he wouldn't want to come back to GB if they are rebuilding, although what "rebuilding" means is not clear. (It's Rodgers and his wordsmithing after all.) It is likely tied to keeping certain players and coaches around.
Rodgers has also said that players who would potentially influence his retirement decision would be Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard, Marcedes Lewis, Robert Tonyan and David Bakhtiari.

Yes, there is a lot of "conjecture" at the moment, but where there's smoke there's fire.
The next few weeks will be interesting; Rodgers has said he will make a decision before Mar 15, I expect a lot more rumors and conjecture until something actually does happen.

FWIW, I don't think he's retiring. I just don't know if he's playing for GB. He probably doesn't either, not yet anyway.

Gotcha.

I've been wondering why all this talk of trading Rodgers - as in, who really wants that? Gutekunst has spoken twice publicly and both times said the big contract extension was meant for more than just one year with Green Bay. The Flower has also said he wants Rodgers back. And Rodgers has said he'd like to retire a Packer. So what's happening that now a trade is being bandied about?

Most likely, the bolded above - Rodgers wants to have some of his buddies back on the team - is what's changed. He phrased it as not wanting to be part of a rebuild, but he was specific about which guys he wants back. Don't know if he wants/needs them ALL back or at least a couple, or what, but now he's decided he wants to retire a Packer IF they re-sign at least some of "his" guys. And maybe part of it is that the team is now seeing they're further away from an SB than they thought a year ago?

Just like last year, it's gotten really weird.

I can't imagine Rodgers wanting or being willing to go to NY, and it sure sounds like the Packers absolutely will not trade Rodgers to an NFC team, so I would think, if they're going to trade him, they will try to use the Jets' interest to drive the price up and hope Rodgers doesn't say anything about not wanting to go to NY. Raiders still seem the most likely landing spot, if their GM wants to play ball.

At this point, I'd take one first round pick for Rodgers. Maybe even a second and a third (well, okay, a third round pick is useless for Green Bay).

Be funny if he announced his retirement after all this. But I don't think that'll happen.

I think the Packers front office has to keep up Rodgers' appearance as a tradable asset. That means they can't alienate him and cause him to pout or rage-quit. They have to make Rodgers' return to the Packers look plausible so they're not weighing whose seventh-rounder to take in exchange.

As for Rodgers, he doesn't want to look like the bad guy. So I'd expect him to reply, "If it were up to me, I wouldn't want to rock the boat. I just wish I could stay here and have all my best friends and nobody ever doubting me."

I think that's all true, but I don't think it quite answers my original question: so does anybody really want a trade? If so, who is it and for what reason or reasons? Is it Rodgers? The Packers? Both? Neither?

I have a hunch we're gonna have a good idea what's happening next weekend when he emerges from his dark house lol. McAfee next Tuesday I imagine they'll chat about next steps.

I don't think we will know yet. I think he will let the team know he is playing next year and the private trade talks will start. Then the rumors will leak and we will have a really good idea by the combine.

this belongs somewhere. This seems good as anywhere.

[King Friday]

We won’t know for sure any time soon. This will be dragged out eternally just like every other year recently.

Last year he signed his extension March 14. Is that really eternity?

It was enough of one for Adams.

Dude describes Rodgers to a tee..

[Fritz]

For fans starved for some offseason news, it seems that way sometimes. But I think if we get some clarity in the next month, that'd be fine.

[texaspackerbacker]

I'm fairly sure Rodgers knows he's staying and the Packer brass know he is staying. Rodgers is just stringing along the media shitheads and anybody dumb enough to swallow the media shit.

Then why all the drama? Rodgers just looks like a prima-donna.

If true, what an asshole.
