AR wants out?!

[red]

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

To see if they could get any good offers?

The team did come out Thursday night and said they had gotten calls but no offers

[Fritz]

He declined to speak today while attending the Kentucky Derby. Mike Tirico said he indicated to him he was unhappy that word got out about the rift between he and the Packers, which is kind of rich because it could only have come from his camp.

Tex says "based on what we do see of him [Rodgers], the shit being ascribed to him just isn't believable."

I say the opposite: based on what we know of Rodgers, the shit being ascribed to him - having his camp leak this, then pretending to be mad that word got out so he can pretend to be the innocent - is very believable. Very.

I know they're losing trade value but I still think if you tell teams if they don't pony up you'll just let Rodgers sit on his ass at home for 2021, someone will be too tempted and give up the farm for the chance at Rodgers. Why let a year go by with Rodgers losing a season and getting older?

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.

But why wait?

If we trade him, we're not gonna be contenders this year

May as well get his cap number off the books now, then start fresh in 2022

[Fritz]

I think it's because the new cap year starts in June or something like that. Someone here said if they wait the cap hit will go way down after June 1st. That's why.

Yeah the cap hit gets split, half this year, half next

What I'm saying is why not just take it all now since we aren't gonna be contenders this year. Then next year he is cometely off the book.

Otherwise, well have almost 15 million in cap space free this year, to sign no one decent, and then next year we'll have almost 15 million of the cap taken by a guy not on the team

Might be someone going rogue. Takes one individual that wants to feel important to have someone break ranks, or that's pissed at something or someone.

Its all about PR. Oh we tried but Aaron is being blah blah. Everyone I’ve heard talk that are insiders & former players think the team leaked it.

[texaspackerbacker]

Who leaked it? The far more likely scenario is nobody leaked anything. Some media piece of shit conjured it up, and the rest of the media assholes ran with it.

Rodgers refused to comment today at the Kentucky Derby, and yet another media puke detects that Rodgers is unhappy about the story ....... sheeeesh.

Dude, you live in a fantasy land. He straight up said he's not happy this shit got out. He did NOT say it's bullhit. Jesus H Christ, you live in a world where everything you want to happen is true.

[call_me_ishmael]

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 bad

I really don't think Schefter would have ran the story without several sources. Why would he blow his million + dollar a year gig? He definitely had the sources.

Confirmation bias is a bitch sometimes.

I've been mulling this over and I can't come up with anything that makes sense other than Rodgers is still pissed about Love and wanted to take some shine off the Packers' draft. Why else would it happen 2 hours before the first round started?

[Bretsky]

To see if they could get any good offers?

The team did come out Thursday night and said they had gotten calls but no offers

That would be because the team was not taking any formal offers; teams wanted to try

[Bretsky]

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. .

[MadtownPacker]

Everyone, repeat after me:

"Mad, you were right. Erin Rodgers is a bitch."
