    Rodgers out of the insider plans??? Told to keep quiet...

    POSTED 8:59 p.m. EDT, March 15, 2007

    RODGERS TOLD NOT TO COMMENT ON TRADE

    Although Packers G.M. Ted Thompson describes as "wild speculation" a report from Mike Felger of the Boston Herald of a coming trade between the Packers and Raiders that would send quarterback Aaron Rodgers to Oakland for receiver Randy Moss, Jason Wilde of the Wisconsin State Journal has dug up some details that, to us, make it seem more likely than not that the deal will go down, eventually.

    Writes Wilde: "Rodgers said when reached on his cell phone that he had been advised not to comment. But Rodgers did say no one from the Packers called him Thursday to reassure him he was not going to be traded, and that the only calls he received were from 'interested friends.'"

    Although it appears that the deal isn't going to go down in the immediate future, it looks like it's just a matter of time

      Don't believe that the Packers trade a 1st round QB that has not even yet had a chance to demonstrate his skills.
      The rumors that include him as part of a 'package' all sound fishy.

        Where there is smoke there is fire......it's obvious something is going on behind the scenes......I said the same thing when Harris missed OTA's and my good friend on the forum said "where there is no smoke there is no fire"....LOL....I got the last laugh so to speak.


        All joking aside, I'm guessing the deal is being worked on still and it must be close....I would also guess it could still fall through if Randy hasn't agreed on a restructured package. I can't see TT paying 9 mil for a guy declining.....I also can't see Randy saying, "sure I'll take a pay cut!"

            If McCarthy regards Ingle Martin highly, they may prefer trading Rodgers over giving up a 1st day draft pick.

              If I was Rodgers I would be in favor of being traded cuz at this point he isnt gonna be the starting QB for the Pack for likely 2 more season. By then his contract is up right?

              By going to the raiders he has a chance to start and doesnt have to worry about filling the shoes of a living legend.

                Plus, he gets to throw to Calvin Johnson.

                Mad, what's with the 139 X 139 avatar. I thought that was against the rules!

                    Anyone get the feeling this might not happen just because TT is getting his back up over the rumors?

                    He can prove them all wrong and make them doubt their sources just by not doing it...

                      That would be a crazy thing to do if he really wants Moss. Yeah, he'd get the last laugh, but to pass on a receiver he believes can help the team to spite a bunch of reporters would be nuts.

                        I know, it would be nuts. But I can't shake the idea.

                        How big of an ego does TT have? By his actions, it's obvious he prides himself in playing it close to the vest. How deep would it cut him if these Rodgers for Moss rumors were bang on?

                          Rodgers has been told to stay quite cause he's been working on his music career

                          don't make fun of the song, it's one of my favorites....but Jeremy Camp looks like Rodgers in this video I think.

                            I just don't see this trade happening. Everything Ted has done indicates that he doesn't care how long the plan takes, or that he's willing to deviate from it.

                            the closest comparison to this deal is the signing of Woodson. But, I truly can't see him parting with a draft pick. I can see him trading Rodgers, he doesn't get "attached" to players. He also believes that ANYONE is replaceable.

                            making this trade is the first indication I've seen that he wants to win now. But if that's the case, why get rid of Green over $2m bucks. That's like "happy meal" money.

                            I just don't understand it.

                            You bring in that much money and firepower with an uncertain run game? It just doesn't make sense. This trade just doesn't work in what we know about Ted's plan. It doesn't seem to match what we know about Ted either.

                              If McCarthy regards Martin that highly after what little I saw, he needs to be committed to Favre's favorite treatment facility.
                              Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
