TheKillerNacho 5,297 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 NOTE: The previous thread on this subject descend into madness. I think enough time as passed to open up a new thread as this is fairly big news and Aaron is now officially a hold out. Keep this thread FOOTBALL-RELATED, people. Thanks. https://sports.yahoo.com/aaron-rodgers-is-a-holdout-for-the-packers-140542157.html This is the first time in his 16 year career he's skipped any mandatory team activity... While the Packers said earlier this week that they expect Rodgers to play, it seems more and more that he's genuinely not interested. If the hold out continues. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
malak1 489 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Say he shows up just before the season begins so he doesn't lose a ton of money, is there a penalty against malingering? He's a professional, so I don't think he'd do that, but it is an interesting thought, if he were to be that petty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sledgehammer 46 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Good on him. I love it. I think Rodgers is a narcissistic d-bag, but I'm loving seeing him punish the GB front office. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dll2000 3,217 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 What would be ultimate point of sitting out until late in camp and then showing up without any other change? Seems whole exercise would have been a complete waste of time akin to a 2 year throwing a tantrum. It would have accomplished nothing. He needs to either keep sitting, get a new contract or get traded. Anything short of that is a big "L" for Rodgers now. Of course forcing Rodgers to sit and do nothing is an L for team too as they passed on a draft haul. That too is just an exercise in pride. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SaveOurSonics 528 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Peter King suggested the best compromise for both sides is to play out the 2021-22 season with a promise of trading him next offseason. Allows for them to take one last shot with Rodgers, get an additional year to groom Love, and Rodgers gets a guarantee that he's out. Not sure how likely that is considering Rodgers perceived stance on never playing for them again. Gutekunst appears to have really screwed this up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he misses day 1 of training camp, he loses an accrued season and millions of dollars. He will show up day 1 of TC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
notthatbluestuff 315 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Quote [Matt Schneiderman] Jordan Love struggled with accuracy during team work today. The arm strength is there, but missed a handful of makeable throws. Period ends with Blake Bortles finding Isaac Nauta deep down the left sideline for a TD. Bortles starting Week One. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jordan Love isn’t ready and you know it. And I’m a big Love fan. If Love plays this year it could hurt him in the long run. Plus Rodgers is coming off a Top 5 season in the sport’s history. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that solution would be best for both, but I certainly understand Rodgers wanting out. Green Bay solves issues at an extremely slow rate. Took forever just to fire McCarthy.
