Monday is a Big Day

Rodgers; I'm just here so I won't get fined

I'm just here because it's your last show

This is the only reason I'm here

[Bretsky]

Payne asks if he can be the intermediary

Notes they may have to relive a scene of wedding crashers

[Bretsky]

Kenny Payne..Rodgers giving a tribute to Payne

Kenny...this isn't what they want Aaron

AROD; I don't give a shit.....lol...he's not saying a thing

[Bretsky]

Rodgers acknowledges he is not at the OTA and changes topic

[Bretsky]

Sometimes people forget what really makes an organization. History is important. But the people make an organization and the business. Sometimes that is forgotten. not by the organization, not by the building, but by the people.

"ARE YOU DEMMANDING A TRADE"

Rodgers...it's never been about the draft pick. I love the fan base, coaching staff, and my teammates. But it's kind of about the philosopy...character....a lot was put into place last year...and the wrench was when I won the MVP......that was an odd comment

[Vincenzo]

Anything else?

[call_me_ishmael]

Wow, I am surprised he said anything about it. Now more than ever I don't think he's coming back.

In response to "are you demanding a trade"



So, yes.

I interpret it as him saying the season he had gives him leverage, which is true. But I still don't know whether he wants a trade, or whether he wants a contract that assures his future with the Packera.

I think he is very clearly stating that he is not upset _with_ Jordan Love, but he viewed it as insulting and that the Packers had fundamentally moved on when they drafted Love. It's pretty hard to argue with that given that I did the analysis and it is completely unprecedented.

Three comments:

1. So much for this all being fake news, eh Tex?

2. Very clear ARod feels disrespected.

3. Didn't slam the door but I don't sense that is his style.

The stark reality is both sides know how this is gonna end at this point and just aren't saying. The Packers surely have made their thoughts clear on a contract. Rodgers has surely made his thoughts clear on that front as well. Now it's just a game of chicken if he's not signing.

I agree with Rodgers chief complaints. They are some of the complaints I've been talking about for quite some time.

The Packers front office is aloof and tone deaf. Not just in how they've approached roster building since TT took over, but in how they treated first Favre and now Rodgers. There's a business side that can't be avoided, but there are smoother ways to go about it.

I think also that the younger generations who now moving into positions of power and responsibility are inexperienced and unprepared to lead as men. Their arrogance and hubris are palpable. It makes things more difficult than they need to be.

FIVE CLAP POST

I still think there's a question as to whether as to whether he wants to force a trade, or whether he wants to make the Packers front office grovel and give him the contract he wants.


It might be a mistake to assume this is all about Gutekunst. Ball is the money guy and he reports to Murphy, not Gutekunst.

If Rodgers thinks organizations like Denver or Las Vegas are going to be more pro-player and less corporate than Green Bay, I think he is being naive.

[Freak Out]

So now more than ever they need to make a deal for a impact player on defense right?
