MANDATORY MINICAMP

[Bretsky]

What should Green Bay do if AROD does not show up to mandatory mini camp ?

IF he does not come this is the first mandatory camp he's missed. Normal rules would be to find a player $93,000 for skipping the 3 day mandatory mini camp.

But if you follow the rules, you run the risk of alienating Rodgers more.

Reports are the WR's are showing up. Most think RODGERS is going to be AWOL.

How should Green Bay handle this ??

If you don't fine him, you set a precedent that could cost you in the future. I don't think whether they fine him or not will affect Rodgers' decision on whether to play for the Packers.

i don't think you can alienate him any more then he is now

[MadtownPacker]

If he doesn’t show up they should put 12s on all the tackle dummies and make sure the media cameras can see it.

[Zool]

They should write 50 more articles per day. All of them speculating about the future of Rodgers on the Packers.

Or Erin could fucking come out and say what he wants.

[texaspackerbacker]

Of course you fine him, not that it would mean anything to his bank account anyway.

[King Friday]

There isn't a choice. It is a mandatory team workout. If you aren't there for any reason other than one that has previously been run past team leadership for approval, you will be fined the amount allowed in the CBA.

Anything else sets a bad precident.

[Upnorth]

You done him then once he shows up to regular trainging camp etc you erase it as part of the 'negotiations'

[bobblehead]

Trade him. Let the Bortles era begin!!

[Spaulding]

Although I agree you set a dangerous precedent, he's not your normal player. Face of the franchise, reigning MVP and HOF at the most important position I think gives you a little slack in how you handle things. I voted you avoid giving him the fine as a show good faith that you're allowing him to have his hissy fit with hope he returns to play at least the coming year. The posts on this cost being inconsequential makes sense but it's throwing him a bone none the less. Baby steps.

Neither the Packers or Rodgers wins if he sits out and so if the Packers are completely adamant on not trading him this year then I think you find coming round like Peter King intimated and ride the marriage one more year to see if a Super Bowl is in the cards and then trade him if he still wants it done.

You treat all players fairly but you don't treat all players the same. You don't fine him obviously.

The Peter King solution is what's going to happen. He's going to be a Packer or retired this year and a somebody else in 2022. Sad that it ends this way. My question is why.

[Joemailman]

I don't care for the Peter King Solution. Don't like the idea of your team leader with 1 foot out the door. Packers had a coaching situation like that back in 1998. Didn't like it at all.

I agree but I think if this is the course that is agreed upon, it will be done so in secret with nobody beyond the front office and Rodgers knowing it. If the case, everyone will put on smiles for 2021 season and Rodgers will get an early audition to see if he has the chops to join his fiancé in acting post football career

[Tony Oday]

Fine him and hold his rights so either retire or play, you are signed for 3 years princess.

The peter king solution is not a solution at all, it's just the teams plan all along, the one that Rodgers hates
