Denver and Miami have way more young (affordable) talent they can trade away without destroying their roster. The Raiders are in rough shape by comparison.

You think Green Bay has told Rodgers they are willing to trade him? Just want to make sure I am reading this right. If so, what makes you feel that way? Trading him post draft makes the least amount of sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's already been discussed. Has it? I wasn't aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more along the lines of putting the burden on Rodgers and his agent to find a partner that would meet whatever absurd demands GB would have for a trade. EDIT: And by extension, acknowledging that Rodgers is available. Edited May 2, 2021 by Mazrimiv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you allow Rodgers to seek his own trade, they're less likely to get the maximum value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Bay can always decide to not trade him. If the compensation isn’t remotely close to acceptable, I’d expect Green Bay to just let him report or retire.

In general I agree about the multiple suitors, but if you give Rodgers the parameters of what the asking price is and let his agent go find someone who will meet it, that's a pretty good starting point.

Pretty much solely "Green Bay needs to be motivated to play ball." So you can probably get defensive talent and draft picks, but you're not taking away the toys Rodgers wants to play with. I don't think he minds being the hero if he wins games 70-63. Edited May 2, 2021 by PossibleCabbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
