Joe, that looks like a retirement statement from 12. Don't like that.

Do like bak's peer pressure though

A lot of people are now thinking he will either play for the Packers or retire. But Rodgers is a hard guy to read.I think we'll know in the next week or so.

If the Packers allow him to retire without getting anything of value, they are dumber than they look..

What would you have them do if he wants to retire? If he would rather retire than be traded, he has no trade value.

It's a game for him to be enigmatic.

I don't think he retires, only because, as others have articulated, his entry into the HoF would be overshadowed by the Goat - Postseason Version.

I agree completely here. Rodgers enjoys playing people, leading them one way, doubling back. I don't take the comments he made as anything other than him being "honest" while also delighting in giving people a chance to jump to the wrong conclusion.

Joe, as for your comment. I am glad you are not the GM. What do you mean, what do you do if he tells you he wants to retire? You trade his ass before the announcement comes out! Slip Rodgers a few more endoresement deals on the side to keep his mouth shut and go along with it. Added benefit: then they can schedule a one-day signing later on so he can retire as a Packer.

I should've worked for Al Davis.

[texaspackerbacker]

Yeah, Rodgers likes to play people, in particular, he plays the media assholes who spew so much bogus speculation. He'll be back with the Packers; The announcement of a deal will come sooner not later; And he will be with the Packers for a good many more years.

Honestly, I'd rather see him retire than get traded. The team is in the shitter for the foreseeable future if either occurs - which I'm confident it won't. ,

I thought this would be a 50/50 poll so we can all blame each other and/or take credit for being right )

It's 50/50!. Or to be more precise, 15/15. Who's gonna break the tie?

He is NOT gonna retire..

It depends, can I vote twice?

Andrew Brandt sticking with his view that Rodgers will not be back with Packers.

Re questions on Aaron: yes, sticking with view that he will separate from Packers. I know: he's playing great and likes the front office more. But it is where I am.
Last year I said he would be back when many said he wouldn't.
Now I maintain he won't be back as many say he will.6081523

I know, "But Andrew, Aaron thanked the front office by name in his MVP speech!"
Yes, and he's mentioned them before. But if he's just continuing to play there, why does he feel the need to be doing that? My sense is it's an appreciation looking back, not forward.

Andrew Brandt
@AndrewBrandt

And the Packers putting out how much they want him and how much they'll pay him has me skeptical.
When a team wants something known publicly as much as they do with Aaron, I wonder.
Why not, as with all other contract negotiations, just work privately on it?

Andrew Brandt
@AndrewBrandt

If the Packers commit to Aaron for two years, they will have wasted the Jordan Love pick.
I know what you're saying: "Who cares, it's Aaron!"
But they care.
These are not the Rams; they are the "Draft and Develop" Packers.

Andrew Brandt
@AndrewBrandt

Have the Packers ever said, as they did last year: "We're not trading Aaron Rodgers?"
That will mean a lot more than "We're prepared to pay him a lot."

Andrew Brandt
@AndrewBrandt

Last word (for now) on Packers/Aaron:
In 2021 the team message was "We're not trading Aaron Rodgers."
In 2022 the message is "We want Aaron back, but it's up to him."
Very different, and very deja vu to end of Brett's time there.

Are you in Chicago?

By the way, it's 16-16.

I’ve been reading that the Packers are planning a new contract that will pay AR $45M annual for the next two years but spread the cap hit out. I say absolutely not.

If that's what it takes, let Denver pay him that.
