AR wants out?!

[Tony Oday]

SI Trade Idea:

AR and a 2022 4th

Broncos:

QB Lock
DE Chubb
G Risner
2022 1st and 2nd
2023 1st
2024 1st

I would do this in a heartbeat

Drew Lock was one of the NFL's worst starting QB's last year. He is Denver's mistake. Keep it that way. I'd rather have one of heir good young receivers.

I have no problem taking Lock. Lock, Love, Bortles is a good room. Cut him later if needed.

No way they'd do that. That's the equivalent of four 1sts and three 2nd's for Rodgers and a 4th. That would be highway robbery but if they were that crazy I agree - pull the trigger no matter how great Rodgers is.

What about Carr + 3 1sts + 1 2nd?

I wish they would do it, just so we could play with these names.

Lock Loves Bortles?

Bortles Loves Lock?

Love Bortles Lock?

Lock Bortles Love?

Nope, need to add a defensive starter.

I really wonder whether Aaron Rodgers would want to go to a team that would have to give up so much draft capital in order to acquire him. And that matters because no team is going to give up that much for an Aaron Rodgers that doesn't want to play there.

Absolutely I would do this. I would do this deal minus the 2024 1st round pick. Lock is a throw in, but Chubb is a very good young pass rusher (equiv to a 1st) and Risner is a strong OL prospect (equiv to a 2nd).

I highly doubt Denver would offer up that good of a deal, but that is probably what it would take for Green Bay to make a trade.

I agree, those trade ideas would be fair if not better than fair, but even so, the Packers would be a shitty team for a few years and a mediocre team after that for quite a while.

Man, media types really don't think he is coming back. Probably for the ratings but still. One would think there would be some clarity of this by this point.

I'm starting to wonder if this situation has nothing to do with anything the Packers organization did. Rodgers is engaged. He is from California. His fiancee is from California. She is an actress. Jeopardy is filmed in California. Spending more than half his time in Green Bay Wisconsin might simply not fit into his life right now. All the trade talk has been about him being traded out west. Denver. Oakland. On draft day San Francisco. Earlier the Rams called to inquire about his availability. So Rodgers is trying to force a trade out west. I suspect he may be telling the Packers he wants a trade out west or he will retire. Most may scoff at the prospect of retirement, but Rodgers is a different kind of dude.

And I read that his fiancé lives in Denver.

Know any Hollywood producer? My screenplay, “The Great Arm of Butte,” is finished. Shailene Woodley would be perfect for the role of Yoko Ono.

As I said when CMI basically said what you said, tough shit. It's not the Packers' mission to make Jordan Love happy. There's a helluva lot worse things than getting paid over $1 million to hold the proverbial clipboard. (pertaining to your post two above - you replied so quick that you slipped the other post in hahahaha)

Yeah, this makes sense from your perspective but any player with a brain will view this as doing a disservice to the player. 1M to hold a clipboard and NOT let the player pursue his career is not doing right by the players. 1M is not very much money to these players, in fact it is a very low salary for an NFL player - especially when half the QBs get 25M+ annually. Compound that over a less glamorous second contract due to lack of playing time, etc and it's abundantly clear this is a hostile act if it went that way.

The Packers would never do that. Penny smart, pound foolish.

Why? The amount of talent on this roster is better then average, even without Rodgers. True, they aren't a title contender right now without Rodgers...but with a halfway capable QB they are a playoff contender.

Hell... The fucking Bears with a dumbass coach and weaker overall roster won 8 games last year. Losing Rodgers and getting two starting caliber players in return would not make the Packers shitty.
