It's kind of a funny situation, Packers want him gone and Jets want him but he's 40 and stated in public he was 90% ready to retire so no team in the NFL is coughing up the 13th pick. Jet's QB situation is dire but GB doesn't want to eat that contract either. Green Bay can't feasibly cut him.
THAT is the situation in a nutshell.

Pretty much, yeah.

I suspect we'll get a second this year and a conditional that could go as high as a first next year We'll also pick up a good chunk of cash.

We can't afford to pick up any cash, so I doubt there is much in the way of that. A 2nd this year and a conditional 1st/2nd next year sounds about right.

What do you mean by we can't afford? You mean we don't have cap space?
I would be more than happy with this.
I think a second this year and a conditional 3rd that could turn into a 2nd next year. I don’t see a first in our future at all. He’s a 40 year old, declining, entitled prick with a horrible contract.

KC payed a 2nd for alex smith and then drafted his replacement. If a short term alex smith is worth a 2, then the 2 of last 3 MVPs is worth a first. If I'm gutes I tell them to pound sand, we'll keep him if they don't want to ship the 13 overall pick.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
Except Alex Smith wasn't 39 years old with a $60M contract and talking about retiring each year.
If there is a precedent for this trade, what would it be? Favre to the Jets? I'm not sure it's Joe Montana to KC? It's not the Alex Smith or Matt Stafford trades, and it's not Russell Wilson.
I want them to get -- in Gute's words -- "premium picks", but if you're trading a veteran player you're also trading the contract.
Rodgers would have played another 3 years if they didn’t draft Love. He only wants out because of how drafting Love changes his situation with the team. I think they should have drafted a WR instead. Love might be good, but I personally don’t think it was worth wasting a pick on a Qb when your hall of famer still has 5+ years left and hasn’t hinted at retirement.
Draft Brandin Cooks WR OSU!
You talked to Rodgers and he told you that? I mean, I guess you could believe that a guy would cut his career 3 years short because a team drafted a guy, but that seems far fetched to me.

No I didn’t, but he talked to the media and said that. After the 2016 season he stated he’s “on the back nine of his career.” That would be about another 3 seasons. He’s also talked numerous
times about playing into his 40s.

In golf the Back 9 is as long as the Front 9. So who knows what he really means timewise with that quote.
Depends if he thinks he is on the 10th tee or holing out the putt on 16 green.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

That's the real Captain Obvious.

As for the trade, they should get pick number 13. That’s it, no other picks. I don’t understand all the BS about getting a pick back if Rodgers plays only one year. Talk to him and ask him. If he doesn’t give a straight answer that’s your risk. Why do you want him so bad if you aren’t sure he will play more than one year? Maybe give your first round pick more than one year to prove himself?
So you can waste a first round pick on a Qb and move on from him after one year but you can’t give up one for one year? Why not…

Doesn't seem like a waste of a pick right now.
Not if they trade a Wr for a second round pick, sign Allen Lazard, and Rodgers stays in GB next year.

The narrative that Rodgers wants to leave because of one draft pick is silly. Most likely the writing has been in the wall since before the pick
Either that or Rodgers is just a little bitch.
Careful there, PFnMD. people are gonna accuse you of being me with a different screen name. Keep up the good work. Good sense is in pretty short supply in here.
