AR wants out?!

[Bossman641]

On draft weekend the team and fans main focus is maximizing the draft. Our needs were strongly aligned with the drafts depth. We were going to come out looking really good unless something weird happened. Enter press release. Now we go from an atta boy draft to why they doing rodgers so bad.
I agree that this isn't new to those who matter. But it takes the focus of the draft class and it's success.
I stand by my statement that the best time for the team to leak is may 31st to maximize interest at a time when cap impact becomes substantially less. Trading him prior to this hurts the 2021 season too much, to the point where i dont think they can sign there draft picks.
Your suggestion doesn't add up.

You're of course right, but we need to give it up. You truly have to have your head stuck in the sand to think it benefits the organization to leak the news on Day 1 of the draft. Not a single thing about it adds up: the timing of a trade alone since they can't trade him til June 1, casting a pall over fanbase excitement, distracting from the overall organizations focus, all media questions focusing on Rodgers over the draft.

You have to be delusional to take that position.

Might want to rethink your position. did you read the original tweet that started this?

Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers is so disgruntled with the Green Bay Packers that he has told some within the organization that he does not want to return to the team, league and team sources told ESPN on Thursday.

That can literally mean anything. His agent is a league source, he himself is a team source. His agent could have been talking to other teams to gauge interest and then worked with Schefter. If that's your proof try again.

no. it's from other teams when you drill into the entire thing. come on. lol. good grief

That's exactly what I'm saying.

Dunn - talks to Denver on Rodgers behalf to gauge interest, airing grievances
Denver - sure we'd be interested
Dunn - wink... It'd be too bad if this were made public...wink
Denver - leaks the info

Just because Rodgers didn't call Schefter saying "hey I'm pissed and may not ever return to Packers" doesn't mean he's not the source

While certain teams have reached out to the Packers to inquire about Aaron Rodgers this off-season, no team has made a trade offer for him, per source.


then this was the follow up story by Schefter on his original tweet. pretty pro organization so I'm guessing most of you arguing that Rodgers leaked this never even read it.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31359453/aaron-rodgers-want-return-green-bay-packers-sources-say

there's zero of anything to think Rodgers let this out. It's pretty obvious despite the head in the sand people here who can't seem to read or possess any reading comprehension.

the league and team sources is also pretty clear. Obviously Schefter talked to some teams around the league because this wasn't a secret around the league. The 49ers inquired the day before the draft. He already had intimate info on what the team supposedly did to try and fix the issues w/ Aaron. It's all there in his story linked to his follow up tweet. I mean. It can't be more clear that this being in the media at this time was not of Rodgers doing.

Mike Garafolo reporting that Rodgers was telling prospective free agents this past season he wouldn't be back. Whether the players believed him is another question.

Rodgers must be really pleased with your ability to control your gag reflex.

Man, this is really uncool.

Is it fair to say that Aaron was a gigantic liar in his appearances on the Pat McAfee show?

I think Aaron has a gigantic inflated sense of ego if he can even compare himself to the Bulls. He has Pippen and Rodman on his team and won essentially jack shit. He isn't even the 1990s Buffalo Bills where they always get to the dance and lose. Michael Jordan is clearly one of the 5 greatest basketball players of all time - no one would dispute that. I think very few would put Aaron in the top 5 greatest football players of all time.

This sort of commentary from Aaron is going to turn fans on him really quickly. My personal belief is Brett Favre leaving and being a dingleberry about it (amongst the nudes) cost him many millions of dollars and goodwill in Wisconsin. He finally has that good will back now, but it cost him a heck of a lot of prime endorsement time. Aaron's pride is gonna hurt him.

[Freak Out]

Damn. What a debacle. It will be interesting to see if he shows at camp or is traded in the summer. After this much shite it would be hard for him to go back. Is there a Bretsky poll on Come back, trade or retire?

And like the Bert saga, there will be, someday, a Packer Hall of Fame/Number retirement ceremony for Aaron Rodgers, and we will all sing Kumbaya and reminisce about the good old days and give a big cheer and ovation when silver-haired Aaron Rodgers jogs out onto the field and waves to the crowd.

Funny the perambulations that we humans go through.

I still think there is wrong on both sides, though. Packers wrong not to give him a heads-up on the Love pick, wrong to cut your fourth or fifth receiver candidate when your All Pro QB just gave him an endorsement. Wrong not to include him in general conversations. You don't have to follow his ideas, but ask about what they are.

Rodgers himself seems to be a straight-up grudge-holding asshole. I never questioned that after reading what Mad wrote about seeing him in person, and reading about Rodgers and his family. Shailene better watch out first time they're sitting down watching Netflix and she makes an off-handed comment that Actor X is a good looking guy.

[Packers4Glory]

Weird what happens to star QB’s & players who become disenchanted with their teams. The amount of attacks & shit that is all of a sudden thrown to the media.

Sorry you’re unable to process what you read at an age appropriate level.

Great break down of why there is no financial way arod can be traded pre June 1.

https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2021/5/4/22419022/explaining-the-salary-cap-ramifications-of-a-potential-aaron-rodgers-trade

Looking at the numbers leads me to velieve that neither rodgers nor gute leaked the data as it makes no sense to waste all that momentum a month before the trade could occur.
Both the participants are way to smart for that to happen.
