AR wants out?!

[Tony Oday]

I do think AR just wants the Packers to keep a player, if possible, that he asks for. JK was cheap and ARs buddy so why not keep him just to make AR happy?

Maybe Adams hated him. Who do you side with?

For once, I agree with you - and I should, since it's essentially what I've been saying all along, except for that last part, that is. He actually has a ton of options.

And Friday, you're probably right, he knows damn well what he's gonna do, but why the hell should he tell us or the God damned media or maybe even the team leadership what he's gonna do? What's wrong with letting everybody sweat for a while? Trying to empathize, I think if I had his extreme (and multiple) talents and abilities and felt a little bit irked, I'd probably do the same thing.

He has no "options". What, is he going to leave 100M on the table plus torch his reputation? Of course not.

If tried to get the Packers to trade him and they didn't. I think everyone knows he's getting dealt next off-season or a phat new deal. It will be very clear which is occuring by the time training camp starts IMO.

QB.

Way too much speculation that I see little basis for.

They are still trading AR next year. AR has always wanted just to stay in GB at least through this contract. He absolutely doesn't want to get traded to another franchise like Denver because of all the draft capital they will give up. I can't see how that is a good place (or division) for him.

All Gute had to do was guarantee AR til 40. Every word Gute has uttered confirms that they will only keep AR this year. Why Gute says they want AR this year "and beyond": code for we will reassess next spring which indeed is "beyond". 95% Gute's fault. No other franchise would or has done this to an MVP QB. And it will have repercussions for FAs to GB and resigning our own.

Even if AR comes back this year, I don't see Adams resigning. He already hinted it. (IMO it's Adams or AR, not both. I think AR can lead a #1 offense with all the other weapons and the system and we won when Adams was down. But if AR goes, Adams leaves too.)

Not sure it was said in this thread. Just wanted to note that if Gute doesn't keep AR, I think the future is bleak for future FAs. And outside FAs came because of AR not the FO, even then moat FAs don't consider GB.

I'm certainly not saying he would walk away from all the money he would make as well as the competitive fun. I'm just saying he could do a LOT of other things - Jeopardy maybe, other show biz stuff, football commentating, even maybe golf. And with all the money he's already made, he could probably do without future football money.

And a big hell no to the idea that "everyone knows he's getting traded next off-season" and also to the idea that they even tried to trade him this year. I'm fairly sure he plays out his career in Green Bay, and that is minimum 3 more years, hopefully a good deal more.

It will be clear by the end of training camp almost for sure, but by the beginning? Maybe, but I wouldn't bet on that.

Jaire, I've really got just about as low an opinion of Gutekunst as you do, but I think you're jumping the gun with all this negativity. Rodgers stays, Adams stays, anybody else worth keeping gets kept.

[Jaire]

Adams already put it out there. He's leaving if they don't fix the AR deal. I can in no way blame him.

BTW, asian pussy tastes sweet. By far the best Black?? Uh, no (light skin ebony maybe), white?? double no. Hispanic?? Only after getting out of the shower...

This doth end this life lesson

Holy fuck, wist. You dig Asian chicks like the Kardashians dig black men.

I think any potential damage from this will be short lived with the current roster. And even at that, I'm guessing only a few players have relationships with Rodgers and will miss when he's gone. Love is likeable and the chemistry with the younger roster probably better even if the results on the field aren't the best.

Besides, money trumps all. If Rodgers was young and this occurred possibly a different story as it would be a reminder as long as he played that the Packers weren't loyal to the best player. However he's in the twilight of his career and once he's out of the league all of this will be just a memory. Players simply won't care if the Packers are offering a good contract.

[texaspackerbacker]

hahahaha you know all that how? I agree, there won't be significant damage from all of this, assuming the highly probably happens, and Rodgers plays at least a few more years for the Packers.

If we can manage to keep ar for say 2 more years what do you think the probability of this thread catching the Favre thread are?

If he becomes an annual drama queen I give it 15% chance if love is average. 30% if he is below average or garbage.

In the last 15 years we have the two biggest quarterback dramas in the league and two.of the bigger qb dramas all.time. Above all else, I cross my fingers that Love is the third HOF QB in a row. 45 years of HOF QB play will never be matched. 30 probably won't be.

I pray for the hof threepeat as well, but would lay money down against it happening.

To hear the cub, kitten and queen fans howl would be so soul satisfying
