What do the Packers get for Aaron Rodgers?

[RashanGary]

Greetings!

It's kind of a funny situation, Packers want him gone and Jets want him but he's 40 and stated in public he was 90% ready to retire so no team in the NFL is coughing up the 13th pick. Jet's QB situation is dire but GB doesn't want to eat that contract either. Green Bay can't feasibly cut him.

Pretty much, yeah.

I suspect we'll get a second this year and a conditional that could go as high as a first next year We'll also pick up a good chunk of cash.

We can't afford to pick up any cash, so I doubt there is much in the way of that. A 2nd this year and a conditional 1st/2nd next year sounds about right.

What do you mean by we can't afford? You mean we don't have cap space?

I think a second this year and a conditional 3rd that could turn into a 2nd next year. I don’t see a first in our future at all. He’s a 40 year old, declining, entitled prick with a horrible contract.

I would be more than happy with this.

Rodgers would have played another 3 years if they didn’t draft Love. He only wants out because of how drafting Love changes his situation with the team. I think they should have drafted a WR instead. Love might be good, but I personally don’t think it was worth wasting a pick on a Qb when your hall of famer still has 5+ years left and hasn’t hinted at retirement.

That's the real Captain Obvious.

As for the trade, they should get pick number 13. That’s it, no other picks. I don’t understand all the BS about getting a pick back if Rodgers plays only one year. Talk to him and ask him. If he doesn’t give a straight answer that’s your risk. Why do you want him so bad if you aren’t sure he will play more than one year? Maybe give your first round pick more than one year to prove himself?

So you can waste a first round pick on a Qb and move on from him after one year but you can’t give up one for one year? Why not…

Doesn't seem like a waste of a pick right now.

Not if they trade a Wr for a second round pick, sign Allen Lazard, and Rodgers stays in GB next year.

The narrative that Rodgers wants to leave because of one draft pick is silly. Most likely the writing has been in the wall since before the pick
Either that or Rodgers is just a little bitch.

Careful there, PFnMD. people are gonna accuse you of being me with a different screen name. Keep up the good work. Good sense is in pretty short supply in here.

The contract extension he signed following two MVP seasons indicates the issue is this past season. Seems like Loves
development and a down year for him caused a problem with his plans for the future.

If Love was pushing him for playing time, then holy crap was it a needed and good pick. If not, Rodgers intending to retire 90% or play for the Jets still seems to provide justification for the pick.
