Pretty clear Rodgers won’t just sit and ride the bench and will just retire. I don't think that's "pretty clear" at all. There's no player who has ground more axes than Aaron Rodgers. He's exactly the type of petty person who would sit on the bench and collect a paycheck out of spite. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why they won’t allow Rodgers on the final 53. Love won’t succeed in that situation with Rodgers lingering around as the backup especially if the Packers start slow. Who is he even throwing the ball too? Do the packers have any receivers left? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 2 pretty promising WRs in Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs. They gotta stay healthy and continue to grow but they showed some potential last year.

vikesfan89 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 If Rodgers did retire, what's to stop him from pulling a Favre and saying he wants to play right before the season starts? The Packers shouldn't be playing hard ball imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Packers shouldn't be playing hard ball imo I agree. Playing hardball doesn’t make sense if you’re Green Bay and truly want to move on. If GB truly cared about maxing out trade value, they should have moved him last year. They have to accept the mess they are in now. One last run with Rodgers didn’t work last year and now both sides are mutually agreeing to split. Pick 13 value would have happened last year, probably could have gotten even more than that. now if the best they can get is a second and only one team has come to the table, where’s the leverage? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or probably end up giving 1 first or a couple 2’s for maybe a year or two. I don’t think Lamar has had completely terrible weapons to throw to, but Lazard, Wilson, Hardman, & Davis along with Breece Hall at running back is by far the best he has ever had.

I dont see why they wouldnt unless its impossible with the $ situation. I feel like throwing your name around Lamar would make the Packers sweat a bit.

Jackson has done this to himself. His refusal to obtain an agent has already cost him tens of millions of dollars, and will probably cost him tens of millions more. He could talk to any team he wanted to at any time and let him know what he wants, but there doesn’t seem to be any indication that he has done that either.
