NEXT YEAR AARON RODGERS WILL BE

[Joemailman]

If the Packers sign Rodgers to an extension, I wonder if Denver would approach the Packers about a trade for Love. Love has more talent than any QB Denver has, and is probably more talented than any QB in the 2022 draft class.

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.

I always crings a bit when players view it important to be the highest paid in their position in the NFL. Bach, I know he's great; but I pondered if they would have been better off re signing Linsley and keeping the extra 10-12MIL per year they gave out .

AROD is no Tom Brady. It appears, from sources, he's working out a deal to be paid as the highest QB in the NFL and spread it out as much as he can so short term, we don't feel as much pain and long term it's dead money against our cap. If we win a Super Bowl with this format, I guess it's a success. But if we don't it'll end up being a very bad move.

Make no mistake about it; we're still going to lose players though; I wish Tex's logic was right but we're going to be making sacrifices.

OR INDY.................Wentz SUCKS and they may delete him. They seem to want to but they also took on a shitty contract.

But realistically, could we get anything for Jordan Love ? I don't necessarily agree with your Love Machine Analysis but it only takes one GM to trade for him

Would be interesting to find out if our former OC wanted him

It would all depend on what Hackett thinks of Love. Denver has the 9th pick. They wouldn't give up that. Maybe the 2 teams would switch 1st round picks.

That would be a pipe dream IMO

Think about the draft value of moving from 28 to 9. No way is Indy just taking Love to move down 19 slots

Maybe they'd flip 2nd rounders. Or just give up a 4th. Beggers can't be choosers.

Or how about our 3rd and Love for their 2nd round pick. Might as well trade them away; all of our 3rd's bit anyways

[call_me_ishmael]

I agree maybe they'd flip second rounders or get a number three for him. If they really do resign Rodgers for two years that they structure expecting him to be there and play, I suspect Love will ask for a trade. They will surely be moving on from him.

I guess we find out soon, but it sure feels like the stars are aligned for a trade. Trade rumors have been swirling for a year, Rodgers wins another MVP, and the BIG Matt Stafford trade bears fruit. Seems like a perfect time for a trade.

Are you in Chicago?

By the way, it's 16-16.

Nah, I'm a hodag...

Aaron Rodgers will be back in Green Bay in 2022.
Aaron Rodgers will never get back to another Super Bowl.
Packers will be one of the worst teams in the league in 5 years.

I voted that he will be back in GB. Not sure that is what I want but I think the amount of capital and resource it will take for someone to trade for him will be too steep.

We will be playoff participants every year until ARod retires and then we are going to fall off of the cliff for years because we kicked the can down the road and it finally bites us in the ass.

Great post, exactly what I was thinking.

Brandt's argument that Rodgers will be gone leaves out one factor: never before has Aaron Rodgers talked in any serious way about retirement. Last year the Packers could say "we're not trading Rodgers" because they knew he didn't want to retire, and they knew he wouldn't just sit out the year. He was still talking about wanting to play for quite some time. This past year is the first time he's actually been talking about retirement.

That's why the Packers can't just say this year, "we're not trading Aaron" and essentially daring him to retire - because now he might. So they have to woo him this year.

And Brandt wonders why they don't just work out a contract extension privately if that's what they want. Does he not understand Aaron Rodgers at all? He still needs to feel wanted - publicly. At least, that's how it seems to me.

I think he'll be back. A trade would be too difficult to pull off, I think. Packers will mortgage the future for one more shot.

'Packers will mortgage the future for one more shot.' Maybe, but is that the smart thing at this point? Cause it seems like they have been doing that for several years with nothing to show for it.

THE CLOSENESS OF THIS POLL CERTAINLY BEGS FOR ONE MORE TO BE CREATED.

Poll Master is on it )))

Indy gave up a conditional 2022 R2 pick that turned into a R1 pick this year; I'm not sure they have the picks GB would want to get back. Would you take =Deforest Buckner or Darius Leonard back with a 2023 R1 pick?

I think they will extend Rodgers and it will kill their cap in a few years. Then they will be without both Rodgers or cap space, and very much in the toilet as tex likes to say. If they extend Rodgers the Jordan Love experiment is really ugly. They would've been better served drafting (reaching for?) Higgins or Pittman.
