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

[beveaux1]

Bucs have a lot of talent. However, they're 57 million over the cap, so they likely won't be able to keep all that talent. My concern is Jets might be the only team interested in acquiring Rodgers which would lessen Gute's bargaining power in a trade.

If you decide to trade Rodgers, what you get in a trade is not the most important factor. Removing the contract might be the most important factor. Maybe it’s trying to see if Love can be a pro QB. If it was what you receive in a trade, that ship sailed off last year.

We know where Randall Cobb stands on all this.

Even if you trade Rodgers, aren't you still going to have a huge cap hit from him for all the void years and such? To me, this is really about giving Love the reins to see if he's the guy, for sure, and getting a start on that if he is. It's less about compensation for Rodgers - if you could get a third this year and a first next year, great - than it is about just starting a new era and giving Love a chance to show if he's The Guy.

I heard Rodgers made some comments about his football future on some health guru's podcast this morning. Adam Schefter was practically having a boner, promising viewers they'd scour the podcast to bring any comments to the mass audience. So we'll see.

Titans GM has said Tannehill will be a Titan in 2023. McDaniels has said he wants Raiders QB to be here a long time. Granted, it may not be his call. But it's increasingly looking like Rodgers' choices might be Packers, Jets, or retirement.

Someone on another forum actually asked Gute at a bar in London about the cap hit. Gute said he could release AR after June 1: not a prob. Fans make more of the cap than GMs. Maybe they can work something else out too and rework the contract.

Yeah, I read the excerpt from that interview. It sounds to me AR has decided and he tried not to reveal what that is before he talks it over with Gute. But, he revealed what he tried to conceal imo.

edit: And I believe Gute has purposefully leaked and said enough to make it clear that he is moving to Love. I actually like the way he's handling it (so far).

Sounds like the divorce is underway. They just need to divide the property.

I think it's about each side wanting to make it look like the divorce was the other side's idea.

Gute at a bar in London hahahahahaha. Seriously? It's true, though, "Fans make more of the cap than GMs" - idiotically more hahahaha. The reason all this stupid talk about trading Rodgers is just that: stupid talk, is that Gutekunst et al want to win games, and having Rodgers at QB is clearly the best way to do that. Is anybody seriously dumb enough to think otherwise? Oh yeah, the poll says over a dozen in here actually are hahahahaha.

i think its that, and trying to maximize trade value

if only 1 team wants him, and they know we want to get rid of him desperately , then we can expect a future 4th round conditional pick in return for him

Gutes and I were pinned down in a foxhole in Ukraine so we had time to deep dive. He told me that he is just flat out sick of Rodgers and probably would deal him to the Jets for a 4th for symmetry's sake.

Damn Red...were you eavesdropping from the foxhole next door?

I just got out of a 4 day Darkness

I visualized what it would be like to watch another fuil year of Aaron Rodgers and then I visualized what it would be like to watch a full year of Jordan Love as our QB

I FEEL AT PEACE !

[Fritz]

So are you at peace because they're both fine options? Or because there's nothing you can do to affect how it goes down?

Or because you just watched some of your favorite porn so now you're relaxed?

Laugh all you want. The fellow who is a huge Packers fan, persisted and was able to hang out with the Packers at their hotel when they went to London and he spent some time with Gute in a friendly chat and asked him what he'd do about the contract. I have no reason to doubt his word.

Really. Fans make more out of the cap than GMs. Gute has publicly stated that the cap is not as big a deal as fans make it to be.

So you think Gutes is ready to move on?
