We have Love and we have Bortles if Love is not yet ready. If we suck, then we suck and get a good draft pick and can take our choice of QB in the draft. agreed about Carr 100% Tua and Lock I'd be fine with (I think) on cheap rookie contracts. They could battle w/ Bortles and we could stash one on PS or trade one or cut one for minimal impact in late August 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is bad business to double pay for services. It also very clearly doesn’t solve the assumed issue with AR12, which is that he has no interest in a one year lame duck year. Agree with it or not, it seems he either wants to be traded ASAP and get another year with his new team, or to remain in GB until his career is effectively over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should trade him and not overpay him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrILL! Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 We’ve heard reports of Rodgers allegedly talking to players/free agents about GB like he was scaring them off from possibly signing. Whether or not it’s true remains to be seen but I’m curious if this is referring to JJ Watt. Signing to arguably the 4th best team in the NFCW is still a headscratcher tbh.

CriminalMind Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 "We want him back in the worst way" ... well then it's an easy agreement. Lock him into a 3 year contract that is either a) effectively untradable or b) has a NTC Than he can be happily yours in the worst way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green19 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Should we read into Aaron second public appearance in the media, going to Hawaii wearing an “empire strikes back” t-shirt? he playing 4D chess here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is bad business to double pay for services. Also if guys wanted yearly control or control in general... do the Revis thing. Sign short high money deals. I agree with Wolf to a degree. You knowingly signed a long deal. And I know I know... teams don’t treat these deals like that. But, for the best players GB traditional has. If you are worried about the players the team gets etc etc. sign short deals and basically every off-season be like what are you doing, convince me to stay. Granted I doubt many teams would sign up for that. But that’s how you gain control and work the system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire12 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Rodgers chose early an financial paycheck....signing Bonus + roster bonus + salary for less control later on in the contract. Nobody changed the terms of the contract he signed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt Carolina is in play but he could be a guy with untapped potential. Rosen will likely be cut or PS by SF. A guy I wouldn't mind bringing in and kicking the tires on. Reclamation project maybe he just totally sucks but does throw a pretty ball. He wouldn't cost us anything so don't crucify me. Always wondered what his career trajectory would have been had he been in GB. Might just be too late for him dunno. Well neither guy will end up in GB so never mind.

cannondale Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 If the only option to keep him is for one more year, then rip the band-aid and trade him June 1st IMO. A known one year stint won't end well due to the media circus and the million etc's that go along with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a cheap contract for 2022 Good catch. 18 mil yah that's pretty steep for an unknown. Cheap this year though. It will be interesting to see how he does in Carolina this year. He never had a fair shake either. Surprised they picked up his 5th year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rodgers plans to be gone next offseason, 2021 is a throwaway year and he will be an enormous PITA and ruin everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
