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

[Anti-Polar Bear]

He said he was thinking of retiring and realized the Packers want o move on. They do not want me. Now he wants to play in New York.

Butte Era is indeed over.

Apparently, Packers and Jets are still working on who gets who and/or what.

[Fosco33]

Surprised that he said 90% was going to retire going into the retreat.

Had Gute really wanted him back - it would’ve happened. Two sides to every story - but he has been wanting people to be straight up with him.

It’s good for us, good for AR/Jets and the NFL. Better than him retiring at this point.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Butte “No malice toward the Packers.”

Favre in 2008: Fuck Ted Thompson and his bitch (female dog)!

I say again, Rodgers isn't gonna be traded, and he isn't gonna retire. If they did want to trade him - which they obviously don't, he wouldn't have much say about where he would go, except maybe to threaten retirement - which clearly would be throwing away so much money that it would be significant even to somebody as rich as he is. All of this trade talk is just ludicrous.

The team does NOT need a cap reset. A lot of things can be done to handle the cap, as has been discussed over and over, and besides, it's going up hugely this year and likely the same huge increase next year. I don't know (and don't much care except for trade purposes) if Love is any good and "ready" or not, but if he is deemed to be good, the Packers easily could (money-wise) keep him beyond his rookie contract - unless Love just doesn't want to sit behind Rodgers for another (or several more) year(s).

NORMALCY will prevail; Rodgers will be the Packers' QB; And we will have a great season(s) coming up - mark my words. And also mark the words of all the dumbasses who think otherwise.

Words duly marked. Sorry, Tex.

Do we need to have a welfare check for Tex ?

I think Aaron still has something in the tank, and he could very well go scorched Earth on everyone because GB DIDNT WANT ME. He could just as well end up with another collarbone, knee, or hand injury behind that OL... or blame Garrett Wilson for not running his routes properly.
I just think age, last year, Jordan Love, and his contract all make it time for the team to turn the page.

GB needs to clean up their cap mess, start acquiring as much young talent as possible, and shoot for a 2025-2027 window of strong playoff contention.
Getting picks or young players from NYJ can help accelerate that process.
If J.Love stinks they will likely land inside the top 10 or (yuck) top 5 and be picking a QB. Either way it's time to push for the future. Presumably that's their plan, let's see if they can stick to it.

I'm not sure normalcy often prevails, change usually does. especially in the NFL.

Packman Jones with the best line, "That darkness retreat sounds like a jail holding cell"

Packman would know!

Rodgers was a great QB for a lot of years. First ballot HOFer.
Lot of good memories... not many from his last 20 games or so.

Will continue to cheer for him.

Don't screw this up Gute.

Well, as Shakespeare said, Beware of the Ides of March. Et Tu Gute. Brutus killed Caesar, and Gutekunst is killing Packer football.

I was at the tennis court when I saw the news on my wife's phone. I guess I was wrong, and the haters and imbeciles got it right. I say again, be careful what you wish for. It's gonna be bad times, mediocre on the good end of it, for a long time. At least I don't need to pay for Sunday Ticket, as the Packers aren't gonna be worth watching.

Hopefully they get huge compensation, but who knows about that. If the idiots are dumb enough to trade him at all, they might be dumb enough to give him away for too little.

I know, idiots, like, Tony O’Day, think Love will fail because of, well, genetics. Ain’t no Black QB has been successful in the whitest NFL town, they cry idiotically.

Heed not ODay and his ilk. Give Love a chance. And besides, dude’s half white.

Saying he wants to be a Jet kind of throws a wrench into the negotiation leverage scuffle. GB would seem to have more leverage at the moment, no? If NYJ can't pull off a trade this looks bad for them.

I was looking at the short list of QBs who played into their 40s

My memory is that they were mostly pretty bad in final years. Warren Moon & Brady were exceptions. Maybe Favre too. Rodgers was decent the last couple years, but decline was obvious. I don't see that much at stake, he isn't gonna be anybody's savior.

Everyone and their baby’s mama know it’s either the Jets or Peru. If German Shepherd is competent, he’ll be able to get a nice load in return for Butte.

[texaspackerbacker]

I wouldn't mind having a black QB if he was named Lamar Jackson. I always thought Randall Cunningham was a near-GOAT. But my impression of Love is that he ain't them. In people's dreams, he might rise to Mahomes level, a QB who can throw really well with above average mobility. But I doubt that, and no way he's gonna run like Jackson or even Justin Fields. Honestly, I'd trade Love even up for Fields.

True, but I'm not sure he is that competent. The Packers have the contract. That is the leverage. If the Packers dig in, then Rodgers either plays for them or retires - which he likely won't. Anyway you cut it, this is a DARK DAY (no racial pun intended).

[call_me_ishmael]

Man, I cannot even fathom the season this dude is going to have. I will miss him. All-time great Packer, arguably the greatest Packer of all time. It's time though. Hopefully Jordan is good.

Jordan Love 2020 Scouting Combine Video

I think I'd have Love #3 amongst this year's group of QBs, and he's not much older (and in some cases younger) than most of the QBs in this year's draft.

At the start of the NFL season this will be the ages of the QBs at this year's scouting combine:

Young (22), Stroud (21), Richardson (21), Levis (24), Hooker (25), Tune (23), Hall (25), Bennett (25), McKee (23), O'Connell (24), Haener (24), DTR (23), Duggan (22), Bagent (23), Cunningham (24).

Love will be 24 at the start of the season.

Eric Bieniemy said something about comfort being the enemy of progress. Father Time is anal as fuck, but maybe change will reignite Butte’s fire. Rare as it may be, the fire to fight is capable of debunking and sodomizing Father Time.

Wanna know which other 40 year old man need a change? Moi. I’ve been flipping burgers for way too fucking long. And for what? The fucking minimum wage.

I am gonna miss Butte. But Butte to New York is quite inspiring. One of these days, I ain’t gonna be flipping burgers anymore.

Most of the QBs on your list were washed up by their last season and were backups.

People cite Brady all the time, but was an extreme outlier if not a unicorn. The game has changed to protect QBs so they can play longer, but something (usually their athleticism) eventually gives out...usually well before 40.

If the Packers get the 13th pick from the Jets, they’ll have two first rounders. Two 1sts and a boatload of cash (the cap can always be cooked) are all the ammo needed to acquire Jackson.

Just a thought.
