Who Will Aaron Rodgers Play For In 2023 (Or Will He Play)?

[Fritz]

Well, that may answer my question as to who really wants Rodgers traded if he decides he wants to play. I wonder what changed in Guter's assessment from last year to this, from giving Rodgers a mondo contract extension to wanting to trade him.

This past year seein Rodgers decline? Jordan Love emerging? Both? Neither?

Well we don't know if Gute has changed his mind. He has not said he is looking to trade him.

Just like most things in life, a combination of factors. Rodgers wasn't great. Love looks ready (and contract wise its now or never). Team needs a cap reset. All of those factor in. Gutes thought he could make one or 2 more runs at it when he gave Rodgers that deal. He may be ready to admit its time.

I say again, Rodgers isn't gonna be traded, and he isn't gonna retire. If they did want to trade him - which they obviously don't, he wouldn't have much say about where he would go, except maybe to threaten retirement - which clearly would be throwing away so much money that it would be significant even to somebody as rich as he is. All of this trade talk is just ludicrous.

The team does NOT need a cap reset. A lot of things can be done to handle the cap, as has been discussed over and over, and besides, it's going up hugely this year and likely the same huge increase next year. I don't know (and don't much care except for trade purposes) if Love is any good and "ready" or not, but if he is deemed to be good, the Packers easily could (money-wise) keep him beyond his rookie contract - unless Love just doesn't want to sit behind Rodgers for another (or several more) year(s).

NORMALCY will prevail; Rodgers will be the Packers' QB; And we will have a great season(s) coming up - mark my words. And also mark the words of all the dumbasses who think otherwise.

Rodgers will be traded, Tex. The contract promotes it.

Remember last year, when you predicted the Packers would go 15-2 and that Watson would outperform Devante?

I hope you are right but signs point to another year of mediocrity.

When you're right, you're right, RG, but in this case you're not.

I need to make a note and remember, when I make predictions I need to leave a contingency for injuries and other freak events i.e. bad luck.

Rodgers contract guarantees $60M for this year and another $40M for next if he is kept. The Packers should try to get out of that unless they are confident they can get to the Super Bowl next year with Rodgers.

That said, I suspect you are right that Rodgers will be a Packer this season.

OR just cause you are wrong?

Which would be inherited by any team trading for him - one reason no trade is gonna happen. The other even stronger reason would be the huge dead money against the cap that the Packers would have if they traded him. Combine that with the huge disincentive for Rodgers to retire, and absolutely, he will be a Packer next season, probably the following season, and maybe (make that HOPEFULLY) for more after that.

Bobblehead, I was reading your post above where you said I was "all over the map". Where does that come from? I've been totally consistent, I think, all along saying Rodgers shouldn't be/won't be traded.

[RashanGary]

Rodgers gets 60M guaranteed if the Packers get him. Not gonna happen. Trade!!!!

Rodgers soon to enter his darkness retreat. Rumor is that if he sees his shadow when he emerges, there will be 6 more weeks of speculation about his playing future.

My favorite was something like:

Rogers and Gollum, sitting in the dark with their one ring.

One ring to bullshit them all..

Rumor is Jets are really interested in Carr from da Raiders.

Does anybody really want Aaron now that she's turning in his annual KAREN act again ? Maybe he's more bullshit that people wanna put up with. It's not his talent; that's why about seventy five percent of the GB fans in all of these polls are ready to move on.

Sick of the Karen act
