Even though he is possibly a worst person than Rodgers, Sir Nutz he is a football expert. His version fits with timelines and entitled millennial behavior that 12 has always shown.

Nutz's post(s) come closer to correct than the others here.

Signing Rodgers to that contract was not a "golden parachute" type thing. It was smart - designed to keep the GOAT QB a Packer for several additional years at least. However, where Gutekunst and Murphy blundered severely was in blinking after one bad (primarily due to injury) season and fucking up the whole situation. Assuming the trade does actually happen, Rodgers, disgustingly from my point of view, is probably gonna go to the Jets and play like the GOAT for several more years at least - similar to the Brady situation.

And believe me, I will be reminding the shitheads in here who actually WANTED him gone with the inevitability of bad times in Green Bay and good times in New York just how all world STUPID they were for craving that to happen.

And Harlan, about your post above, yeah, in the very unlikely scenario that the Packers do still play winning football like the Rodgers years, I'll damn well be cheering for it - just not expecting it.

If Rodgers had said he was committed to the Packers at any point, he'd be back. It's as simple as that.

[texaspackerbacker]

That would indeed be logical, but it doesn't seem to be true, based on the likelihood now that he will be gone.

[Deputy Nutz]

Exactly how do they "demand" he does anything of the sort? I'm pretty sure they asked.

Simple, if the Packers would have put Rodgers on a timeline similar to the way Thompson and McCarthy put Favre on a timeline. I think Favre was relatively loyal to the Franchise, I don't think he saw himself playing for anyone else until he realized he was ready to play ball and that the Packers had moved on, then he wanted a clean release from the Packers so he could play for the team of his choosing, which is ridiculous, especially since he wanted to go play for the Vikings.

I think Rodgers wants out of Green Bay, I think the Packers brass now wants him out of Green Bay because they some how just now realized they have a QB on a rookie deal that is about to expire and they need to know if he can actually play, and they some how in a drunken stupor extended Rodgers to a whopping 100 million of Guaranteed Money. I still don't understand why you do both. You either let Rodger walk after 2022 and not extend him and go with Love for 2023, or you extend Rodger and put Love up for trade. It's is actually that damn simple and the Packers messed it up.

[sharpe1027]

They didn't have the same options with Rodgers's contract as they did with Favre though.

We'll never know for sure, but I would be really surprised if he didn't say I'm ready to play for the Packers in 2023 and they said no thanks, we're going with Jordan, we're going to move you.

I guess we won't know for certain, but I believe Rodgers. Rodgers would be lying about what happened in his latest interview. He basically said he found out the Packers didn't want him after his darkness retreat.

Packers are super conservative about their image so I highly, highly doubt they did that in the first place.

they had a meeting (i think) right after the season ended and the team told them what they expected. then rodgers has no contact outside of a couple simple texts

over half of packer nation knew it was coming. the talk at the combine was about teams asking about him

maybe he had his head so far in the clouds and thinking his shit doesn't stink to think it wouldn't really happen, but a good chunck of the football world knew it was coming

so just another bullshit statement from him, just like how he didn't give the jets a list of demands, he just told them a list of players he would like to have when they all met. he didn't demand anything, it was just a strong suggestion

for as smart as he thinks he is, he should have known as soon as he signed the contract last year that it was just a 1 or 2 year deal

What the fuck are you talking about?

[sharpe1027]

What the fuck are you talking about?

The structure is different. They couldn't cut Rodgers without taking something like $100M in cap hit, so there's no way they could demand Rodgers make a decision.

Going up in the 80's when someone stated the obvious we would yell at them, "NO DUHH!!!"

The Packers fucked themselves by signing him to the ridiculous contract. Favre was already paid out the majority of his signing bonuses and guarantees with the Packers. The Packers could cut Rodgers but they have to take like a 60 million cap hit in 2023

Yo, Nutz, you play poker, specifically, no limit Texas Hold’em?

[Deputy Nutz]

Yes, No Limit Tournaments. Poker is losing its popularity in regional casinos though.

Yeah, Oneida in Green Bay currently appears to be the only casino in Wisconsin that has an open poker room.

I suck at the game, but I have $2000 left in my bankroll. Gonna take a nap and then put it all on the line at 2-5. I will retire from poker if I bust.
