That's how I viewed your prior post. -
Wait another month. They won't trade him until June 1 because of cap implications. While I doubt they want to trade him AFTER the draft has happened, I could see them do that if he puts up a huge stink entering training camp.
Either way, I doubt Rodgers is a Packer a year from now.Comment

I'm kind of over the Rodgers drama. It's a broken system. No loyalty. It's not family. But they try to connect as family when it's not that. You're always gonna have issues when you sugar coat a cold business as a family affair. It's like everything else in this society, broken.
I'd take a loyal, losing team every time. But we’re not gonna get that.
Rodgers has had a great career in Green Bay. He could have had the Stafford experience. I understand his money grab and discontent with the love pick. But everyone else has to deal with that too. Aaron Jones is just as good of a guy and committed winner and he didn't get a call on contract eve when they drafted Dillon.
Ultimately, when trapped in a broken, heartless business, some tough pills are gonna have to he swallowed. Rodgers will drop off and his best chance at a truly legendary finish to his career is to swallow the business pill and show up.
If he takes his ball and goes home, its understandable. He has the money to not have to play this game. But if he wants to get some more records and career medals of honor, he’ll probably have to sit tight and swallow a bitter pill. The team will respect him more if he lives by the same standards. His legend will grow.
I hope he stays but I’ll deal with whatever.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

And this in no way means I like the business
But every time Rodgers signs a big contract to be the highest paid player in the league, he agrees to those years and numbers. The reality is that it is a business and unless he just hangs it up and goes to jeopardy, he’s probably gonna have to come back to play in Green Bay.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Everyone, repeat after me:
"Mad, you were right. Erin Rodgers is a bitch."Comment

Sheeeesh, RG, now you too? I thought you had better sense than most of the whiners in here. There has not been one word from Rodgers himself about this shit. Neither I nor any of us knows him, but based on what we do see of him, the shit being ascribed to him just isn't very believable. Everybody on the Packers side denies anything is gonna happen. The Niners GM just put out a statement that they called like the rumor, but it was a very short conversation - a quick no.
Even if there is something to the frustration and bad feeling, crap like this almost always gets resolved. I'm very much ready to hate Gutekunst and Murphy if that doesn't happen, but I fully expect that as competent professionals dealing with a possibly pissed off but thoroughly intelligent superstar who nowadays has more roots in Wisconsin than anywhere else, they will get a deal done before the season, and we will still have Rodgers for many years to come. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and the team goes in the toilet regardless of anything else, but at this point, I'd absolutely still bet on Rodgers and the Packers brass and against the media pukes.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

I kind of agree. I see him playing in Green Bay. And the whole lockerroom will respect him more for being tough enough to play by the same rules as Jones and the rest of the team of good guys stuck in a tough business.Originally posted by texaspackerbacker View PostFormerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Let's see. The part that bothers me is Rodgers could end this shit show in 30 seconds flat with a short statement, but he hasn't bothered. Even if it's not true at all, he's letting it sit out there longer than necessary.Comment

Him and his agent will never have more negotiating power for more money than they do now, coming off the MVP. He’s making a power play but he’s stuck under contract. The Love pick makes him feel like they don’t have loyalty and now he has to get his money while he can.Originally posted by sharpe1027 View PostFormerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

His value will get lower from here. Gute had a chance to really stack the team for Love, or better yet Fields. Didn’t do it. Now, Rodgers will probably retire because he tried to get himself traded to SF, and it backfired."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

Not true. Wilde who is pretty tied into the Packers says he thinks the leak came from the organization.Originally posted by Rastak View Post
I have no idea but both sides could have had motives for leaking it.Comment

I don't see any upside for the organization to leak this.Comment

And the plot thickens
Again, all this crap has been going on all off-season and we just heard about it Thursday. So both sides have really been keeping things right lipped until then
Maybe it was just someone close to rodgers that spilled the beans without his blessing, or some lower person in the team that knew
What we do know is that it has made, arod, murphy, gutey, and matty all look really badComment
