CWood21 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Just now, Cpdaly23 said: The pressure on Green Bay at that point in time and most importantly, their ability to plan for 2021 and get adequate compensation in a trade would have made it many times easier to trade him. Now, you aren’t getting a top 10 pick, you can’t sign a bridge QB like Dalton or Fitzpatrick to continue to develop Love, you have no choice but to take a hard line and say you aren’t trading him. Even if Green Bay was willing to deal Rodgers, post-draft would be an awkward time to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had to describe Aaron Rodgers in less than 10 words, would that not be one of them? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a believer in contract law. If I might, I think you are a believer in honoring your commitments. He is not doing anything illegal, and the players seem to resent that the team can unilaterally end the contract while they can't, so I can see why they view it differently.

spilltray Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 As of right now, can they trade him? They'd take a bigger cap hit than they have space. Post June 1 sounds like it might be possible, but at that point, I'd be tempted to say it's too late for it to make sense, show up for this year and a trade can happen after the season or go pound sand.

Which is why I said trading him back in February would have been more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainmaker90 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 As much as I love Aaron, this isn’t gonna be solved. It’s not in him . He’ll never forgive Gute for the Love pick . He’ll play this year and will probably be traded at the end of the season in all likelihood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 If this "AR wants Gutey out" stuff is accurate - thats nothing more than AR declaring affirmatively, he's not coming back. No way in hell the organization fires the GM (or demotes him) because AR has a bug up his ***. Simply not happening. I suspect AR knows this - which - (again) if these latest reports are accurate - define ARs stance: I cant live with your GM - I know you cant dump him cause I want it - so get rid of me.

MacReady Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 2 minutes ago, cannondale said: At this point, I hope the end result is retirement Lol. Yeah, that would be the best option for the Packers. Reigning MVP, 37 years old. Zero trade value. Let’s have Aaron Rodgers retire a Packer because he means more to the Packers than the Packers do. Does everybody see why I think of this guy the way I think of this guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) This is the biggest takeaway for me. Gute is ****ting his pants because if he bails on 12 and Love fails, Gute is remembered for this and nothing else the rest of his days. He needs to know that Love is at least competent, but he doesn't yet and Rodgers doesn't want to wait around to find out.
