AR wants out?!

I agree

This is not a good look for Rodgers either.

But the GM's job is to smooth these things over. Gute can't. His response is to waste a pick on a future QB. It's ego and incompetence. You DO NOT LET GO a qb of Arod's ability.

I agree with part of this, but you still draft a good QB if you think he's the best player available by a good amount.

He signed a new deal and got more guaranteed money in exchange for that. He knew, or should have known, that was part of the trade-off. If I sign a contract don't read the fine print or understand it, that's on me. Nobody is going to come me to my rescue.

no, he signed the new extension, and then a year later he they restructured the brand new roster bonus and converted that into even more signing bonus

I'll EXPAND on this

If we go 6-10 or 10-6 with no Super Bowl I'm in about the same spot at the end of the season. As long as we are moving toward a championship.

That is WHY I am ON BOARD with trading Aaron Rodgers. I lack faith in Gutebag near term and I'm fine to reload.

If Jordan Love FLOPS Gutebag might be gone; so worst case is we're a step closer to figuring this all out

This is similar to the old dichotomy: would you rather have a few years or a decade or so of mediocrity, then a Super Bowl? Or would you prefer consistently winning a lot of games and being near the top, and not winning a Super Bowl, at least not very often? I definitely prefer the latter, and that's what Rodgers has given us and will continue to give us if he's around for 2 or 4 or 5 or 10 years.

I wouldn't predict one way or another about Love flopping. Keep him while he's cheap or until it's sure he is crap.

I'm talking about the restructure, not the extension. Did I miss the point?

i don't know, now i'm confused

Rodgers knew what he was doing under the restructure. He got that money without needing to make the roster. It had to be guaranteed money.to work. If he doesn't live up to his end of the bargain, however, he still needs to pay some of it back.

I Just stopped by to drop off “The Aaron Rodgers Song” and I LOVE IT. They even played it on the radio here today. I am so proud of Aaron for finally telling these Fucken bums to Fucken kick rocks. Funny how things turned out and how I pretty much predicted this whole thing. Yet I was constantly told I was crazy and to shut up! Maybe my inside sources aren’t such a joke since there under my own Fucken roof. LOL!!! Well some deserve the misery of all this that is coming for all the stupidity and buying into all this brainwashing bullshit!

PEACE!!!

It is a part of a GM's job to smooth these things over. But not at the expense of holding the organization's future hostage. Is he not allowed to draft a player he thinks is the best available because it would hurt the feelings of his star quarterback, who'd just at that point finished a couple of less-than-all-world years? No.

He shouldn't be allowed to draft any players where there is an established starter, they also might have their feelings hurt.

[ThunderDan]

I am truly worried that ARod has played his last snap for GB. He has not come out at all and said this is all bs. If it was the media making this all up ARod could easily have said anything to defuse the situation.

ARod is pissed and it isn’t about money. Dude has made $500,000,000+ between NFL and endorsements in has career. That chip on his shoulder has made him an elite nfl qb. But now it has been turned toward the Packers. It has been reported he doesn’t talk much to his family. No problem to put the Packers on that short list also.

Hard to believe both Smiths played in 2019 after they took Gary in the first. They just signed with GB and Glutes immediately drafts their replacement.

[Fritz]

Agreed. But Rodgers doesn't want to defuse the situation - hell, he's the one who lit the fuse.

I wonder if he's trying to punish the team for last year's drafting of Love and then trying to get them to make up for it by giving him a big, sloppy, public BJ while forking over a generous contract extension that guarantees he's the QB in Green Bay for the next five years.

Like you said, it's not about money. But the money, in the world we're in, represents respect. And Rodgers, as always, feels disrespected.

[Sparkey]

Seems he has a very fragile ego.
