AR wants out?!

[RashanGary]

AR isn’t going to retire.

I’m not sure how long AR can hold out into camp or into the season to still collect his pay day.

However long that is, he has every right to not show up until the final hour to try to work out a deal that he wants.

It’s up to each person whether or not he’s disrespecting his teammates and the game by doing that. He’s pissed off that they drafted his replacement and wants what he wants in return. Nobody knows for sure what that is, that he’s demanding.

I don’t expect the Packers to cave. I half expect Rodgers to cave. It could end any number of ways. Many fans will never forgive him for doing what he might be about to do. The good thing is, we find out soon enough.

What I get from that mother-in-law tweet is that she is not a regular Stephen A watcher, and she didn't comprehend that he was saying Rodgers is so horribly dissatisfied with the team leadership - which may or mmay not be what he was actually saying - the guy is damn dumb enough to believe that. In fact, Rodgers hasn't publicly said anything all that controversial at all, which probably is what Ms. Woodly is alluding to.

If the detractors and panic mongers turn out to be right, and he does wangle his way out of Green Bay either this season or before next, then fans damn well shouldn't ever forgive him. On the other hand, if he plays at least several more years, there's really nothing to forgive. All the shit being spewed was from sources other than him.

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.

Social media really brings out the worst in people. Shailene's mom is the one who looks to be insufferable. Well, her and Tex.

The Woodley's are essentially saying that the Packers disrespected Aaron by drafting Love and not getting him the help that he needs. Right, wrong, or indifferent, I think it's undeniable that's what Rodgers is griping about.

Shailene also retweeted the same video now.

Aaron is such a bitch though. If he really wants out, he would absolutely be granted it if he would come out and say it publicly. But he won't do that because he doesn't want to burn the bridge. Packers shouldn't entertain him at all unless he publicly says he wants out.

[texaspackerbacker]

You know that how, CMI? The video could just as well not be saying that at all; Stephen A is a blowhard who often ain't too bright; And the mother-in-law's tweet didn't exactly say that she thought Stephen A was saying that. She was cither being cryptic or she was displaying lack of understanding. I didn't see what if anything Shailene had to say.

He doesn't want a deal. He apparently wants to leave.
Packers would be fools to let him out of his contract. I don't know of any precedent for an elite player just tearing up a contract. (That is not what happened with Favre; he sincerely retired before fireworks started.)

Stephen A sez packers have an excellent roster and so OBVIOUSLY the dispute has nothing to do with football. You say it's UNDENIABLE that it's about the roster.

I say it's a lot of haze, steam coming off a pile of shit is all we know.

[call_me_ishmael]

Steven A Smith is saying it isn't football or money related, just that ARod feels disrespected. The MIL said "truth spoken". That viewpoint is largely in line with what Rodgers said with Kenny Mayne.

[texaspackerbacker]

which was cryptic and not controversial

[Harlan Huckleby]

AR is mad that he doesn't get veto over GM. ARod was mad last year and had his best season. Let him be mad for 21, 22 and 23. I'm not sure why you think the packers should let him walk. The other players don't care. He loves excelling at football, that's his purpose.

I predict nothing much will happen.

Aaron is a complicated fella. It’s like when someone calls in to spite their boss. It might have just been a spite call and then he shows up when it counts, because like you said, he loves to compete. I think that’s most likely. Favre kinda did that with offseason work for a few seasons.

[RashanGary]

The Packers can’t really cave. It might be a messed up business but it’s still a business. They just can’t let Rodgers run their team. He’s almost 40 and the Packers have a lot of football to plan for. It can’t all be up to Rodgers like he wants.

[RashanGary]

Crossing my fingers that Jordan Love is the next big thing in the NFL.

ok, name one thing that team has done that rodgers wanted?

and giving him employment and paying him a fair market rate isn't caving in to his demands

maybe getting rid of fat mike, which would be a huge one, but thats about all i can think of

Is that what Rodgers wants? You know this how?
