Pro Football Network's Tony Pauline reports Aaron Rodgers has “told people in confidence” he wants free agents Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling wherever he plays next season.

The report comes after Rodgers called "everything on the table" when talking about his playing future. Rodgers had the Packers void the final year of his contract (2023) as part of last season's holdout and there are rumors the Broncos hiring of Nathaniel Hackett as their head coach was made as a play to lure the 38-year-old out of Green Bay. The Packers’ front office missteps — from drafting Jordan Love to balking at Rodgers and Adams extensions — are the driving force behind Rodgers wanting out. An NFC Divisional run and second consecutive MVP increase his chances of staying, but with a negative cap situation and GM Brian Gutekunst returning, it's possible 2021 ends up as Rodgers’s last season in Green Bay.

Packers WR Davante Adams is “looking for a contract near $30 million per year.”

It was already reported Adams wants to be the league’s highest paid receiver. The $30 million average per year would place Adams ahead of the DeAndre Hopkins ($27M APR) and Julio Jones ($22M APR) deals. The Packers, who are $40 million over the salary cap, aren’t expected to offer more than $25 million annually, making a long-term deal unlikely this offseason. With Aaron Rodgers only signed through 2022, Green Bay's best route may be to franchise Adams, which would count just $22 million against the cap.

THANK YOU for the sources; I tend to believe the media and have always embraced the where there is fuel there is fire.

I don't see how GB woudl want to pay Adams 30MIL/Season. But who knows.

If I'm the GM I'm figuring out how to clear cap space and Franchise Adams. IF AROD thinks he's going to bully GB into trading him and Adams as well, I'm going to try to rob somebody

They are probably entertaining offers as we speak/type..

Then give Adams $150 million for five years; $65 m bonus, $2m, 8m, 15m, 25m, 35m per season. Cap number is $15m next season.

Hackett is gone. Make Getsey the Packers OC, and hire Cobb to Getsey's spot.

Hearing after #Broncos were unable to hire Adam Stenavich from #Packers, they went after WR coach Jason Vrable. But he won’t be going either and is possibly LaFleur’s passing game coordinator assuming Getsy leaves for #Bears. Hackett may have eye on TEs coach Justin Outten now.

If reports like this are true:

Is MLF able to block someone from leaving for an OC job by offering them passing coordinator job? Or is he able to persuade people to stay without even blocking them?

[King Friday]

Going from WR coach to OC would be a huge step. I'm not sure that was ever in the cards.

You would think Steno would become OC and Vrable would become passing game coordinator in addition to WR coach. Assuming Getsy is gone of course.

[Bretsky]

^ Correct. He ain't no spring chicken. The wheels could fall off at any moment.

Also: what's the point of dumping any money into any other receivers if his high holy-rollerness only has eyes for Adams?

I think we're best served keeping one or the other but not both.

AROD is not going to complain about having another elite weapon. He'd throw to him.

Year 4 cap hit 38 Million
Year 5 cap hit 48 Million

Sounds like Getsy is going to Chicago

i have found a way to keep rodgers and adams on a tag

and the rest of the team by releasing preston, cobb, lowry, crosby and lewis

giving new contracts to z smith, alexander, amos, and turner. going by cap numbers based on their previous contracts

restructuring by converting salary plus roster bonuses into signing bonuses for bakh and clark

doing all that frees up about 63 million. getting us under the cap and being able to tag adams. now if we gave adams an actual new contract we would be able to get his number lower

also getting rid of zdarious and giving preston a new deal instead might save us more cap space
