AR wants out?!

[ThunderDan]

Realistically, how do you come back from the drama of tonight?

I don’t think you can. Unless both sides come out and say it is BS.

You got to think ARod is a Packer for 1 more year at most at this point.

[texaspackerbacker]

Rodgers isn't going anywhere. He's under contract. You think he's going to hold out? I'm sure many of his endorsements are somewhat conditional on him being an active player in the league. They aren't interested in a pitchman who is holding out. The news today was a desperate ploy by the Rodgers team to push on Gute, but I doubt he folds.

A bit of sanity in a sea of panic and idiocy. As I said, none of the stupidity posted by people about draft night trades for Rodgers ever was gonna happen. One of these days, the news will come across that the Packers extend Rodgers like any Packer fan with a brain in his head hopes for.

Did any of the principal parties say anything? Hell no. Just crap from several media pukes. Hence, nothing to come back from.

I would agree ThunderDan

But per radio if we traded AROD the cap hit this year would be fifty MIL; we can't do that

It becomes a lot more manageable after 2021.

I don’t think any of us want ARod to be gone. But the writing sure seems to be on the wall that 2021 will be ARods last year in GB.

[texaspackerbacker]

No it does not - only if you swallow the shit the media assholes are putting out. I very much doubt Rodgers, his agent, LaFleur, or Gutekunst would say that at all.

No. Yes, there would be $38M in dead money, but you'd save $37M with his salary this year.

Trading Rodgers would cost $1.1M on the cap this year. Of course, they only have around $2M in available cap space.

If the Packers traded him after June 1, they would save $16M.

i think thats wrong

31.3 is the cap hit if traded, i think

or 38

i can't figure out what over the cap is trying to do

they are saying if he is released, he would count the 38 million, but if hes traded he would count 31.something. the difference is the same as the roster bonus that they just paid him

i'm not sure if they just haven't updated one of the things or what. but i don't see why trading him vs releasing him would be any different. and i sure as hell can't figure out how a paid roster bonus would make a difference between the two

and i'm really not sure how or why a roster bonus would effect the dead money at all

[red]

i think 38.356 million is the real dead cap number

he's counting 37.2 million against the cap if he stay

so if we trade him, we would lose a little more cap space then what we currently have

They must be figuring that in the event of a trade, the team acquiring Rodgers has to pay the roster bonus. Don't know if that's right.

well that could be it, and they just haven't updated the site since the team paid the bonus

good call

[HarveyWallbangers]

Broncos took Surtain. Packers took Stokes. Guess there won't be an ARod trade this year.

[George Cumby]

We'll miss you Bert.... I mean Erin!

[King Friday]

Nothing additional will happen on this until August. The Packers will call Rodgers' bluff. Obviously, Rodgers wants out...but being under contract makes that a very difficult situation for him to manage. The Packers hold most of the cards here.

The one thing that unsettles me is that there is one scenario where Rodgers gains the upper hand. If he does hold out, and Love plays like absolute crap, it will shift enormous pressure onto the Green Bay front office. At this point, Rodgers is more aware of Love's potential than most. If Rodgers is willing to go scorched earth, then it may be because he has a strong belief that Love will flop.
