AR wants out?!

[ThunderDan]

I think the Packers and AR will hash out some 1 year deal at this point.

AR plays 1 year and then gets traded to the AFC.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Nope, they get relief if he retires.

Sure, but I assume he would sit-out, not retire.

maybe, but I expect GB will just hold him to his contract. Arod's claim is that he is second coming of Tom Brady. He can prove it when he hits 40.

TEX you are going to be wrong I think ...LOVE may just be ready

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he is ready, but that is a far cry from GOAT-quality as we and the offense has gotten used to. I previously said maybe we win 3-5 games with Love. I will revise that upward to 7-9 wins - nowhere near good enough in my book.

second coming of Brady? Sheeeeesh, by any individual standard, Rodgers is way better.

I fully expect him to be a Packer for the rest of his career, and for that to last minimum of 3 years, more likely, 5-7 or even more.

...... After his MVP year, the Packers were willing to give him basically a guarantee of two more years. He declined the offer. The Packers won't, and shouldn't, hamstring themselves financial for a 40-year-old QB (i.e. give Rodgers more than two years basically guaranteed). Now knowing they basically offered him a second guaranteed year (which I think he deserved), I don't have a problem at all with how Gutey has handled this.

Ok. That makes sense. But I still hold nothing against AR. I think he is making the wrong decision. More emotional than from thinking. But maybe he has different plans. He's already got a career. He can do what he wants. It was a fun ride


We are spoiled as Packers.


Bucks just won their 2nd in 50 years. I'm ready for the Love era or a last hurrah for AR.

He can sit out but that doesn't count as a year on the contract. He actually has to be on the roster.

I am puzzled at what AR is trying to accomplish.
Pack holds the leverage. They should insist that AR finish his contract. AR will undoubtedly have some injury time where Love
gets experience. AR is more valuable than the cap space for next few years.

its pretty obvious, hes trying to get out of green bay

the original report was that he had played his last snap in green bay. all that has changed since that time was murphy saying some pretty stupid things when he didn't have to. and the team now leaking the info that rodgers has turned down a new contract

schein might have said it best on the radio this morning, that bridge is burned to the ground

[Bretsky]

At least Rogers can’t say footers has never used a first round pick on an offensive skill level position anymore

[King Friday]

This only works if Jordan Love looks bad while Rodgers is not at camp, If he looks good it lessens his leverage imho, 4 million a year looks a lot better than 40 when your trying to fill out the roster beyond the QB position. This is a dangerous game Rodgers is playing and it might bite him in the ass. I am a Packers fan and only want us to win, that being said I hope this ends soon as I am sick of it already. GO PACK GO!!! Reports out of the session he had with Watson and Fields are that he looked great and that is coming from Fields trainer.

I'm aligned with this view. The one year deal thing is something the Rodgers camp is trying to push. As we move forward, things will become more desperate for Rodgers. He's not ready to hang it up, or he would have retired or opted out. That means that he wants to play this year, but with a clear path out of Green Bay.

However, Green Bay has no real desire to trade him at this point. They would rather let the fines and financial losses pile up on him. Sure, he has plenty of money and can afford to take these losses...yet no wealthy person enjoys losing significant amounts of money.

This appears to be a game of chicken at this point. If Love looks halfway decent, it greatly reduces the chance that the Packers will be the ones who blink first.

If Love looks like shit the Packers have more incentive to keep Rodgers through his full contract.

I don't believe the Packers have any desire to lose AR now or a year from now. He's too good. Love will take a couple years to be ready.

He's under contract. Trading him stinks for GB, his contract terms are perfect for Packers.

I don't understand why AR wants out. Does he want out bad enough to retire?

Shalein’s mom. Yes I know I butchered the spelling, no I don’t care.

I see the same things hh.

[Harlan Huckleby]

So AR's mother-in-law and other twitter twits suggest that AROD is disrespected by packer management.
AR has worked under Murphy for 15 years. Now two years into 4 year deal he discovers that Murphy is insufferable? The indignities justify breaking a contract?

I'm not dismissing AR's complaints. But he's a big boy who signed his deal with eyes wide open. He works for the NFL, not just the Packers. If life is too harsh he needs to leave nfl.
