And yeah there's no hyperbole. Just simple math. Rodgers could EASILY earn another $200 million in NFL money. He could play another 7 seasons until he reaches Brady's age. He obviously thinks he can keep playing that long. That's less than $30mil per season right as the cap is about to sky rocket in a couple seasons. Pull your head out of the sand, man. Maybe you should learn more about your team and the situation friend: Quote The Packers have offered to extend Rodgers' contract, sources told ESPN. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31359453/aaron-rodgers-want-return-green-bay-packers-sources-say Quote On Monday afternoon, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said on that network that the two sides have been talking over the past few weeks. Rapoport says that the Packers have offered Rodgers a “significant, long-term contract extension,” which would seemingly address one of Rodgers’ primary concerns — his future as the team’s starting quarterback. https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2021/5/10/22429162/packers-aaron-rodgers-have-been-negotiating-but-still-need-to-iron-out-issues 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the situation lol. You don't even know what you are arguing about at this point... What are you even pointing out and arguing? You're not pointing to articles that support my overall point that Rodgers wants to play MORE. He turned down a restructure (almost certainly with voidable years like we did every other contract this off-season) because he wants longer and more guarantees here and wants to keep playing.

You are not following the situation. Rodgers badly wants to keep playing in GB and end his career here on his own terms, like 5-6 years from now probably. His entire angle was/is to get s contract that keeps him in GB through the entirety of Love's rookie contract. If you think for a second his goal is to leave GB, you haven't paid any attention at all to the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they're too busy feeling anxiety over whether Rodgers will come back. But yeah other than that I think you're right - Rodgers will comply before it costs him any serious money.

He has millions of reasons to. Meanwhile, they get a good look at Love running with the 1st team. Those are some really really valuable reps for both Love and the staff to analyze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From your own source: Quote Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Thursday that the reigning MVP "is so disgruntled with the Green Bay Packers that he has told some within the organization that he does not want to return to the team." So again, what about this says that he "badly wants to keep playing in GB"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 It will be fun to revisit this in a few years ha. If @Matts4313 is right, Rodgers will be retired or playing for another team. If I'm right, Rodgers will be playing for GB or another team. Intelligent people leave their options open. Rodgers has not burned any bridges in GB. It's a coin flip in my kind right now if he gets traded after 2021 or ends up getting a new contract in GB. The talk about him retiring or being 100% completely done in GB are hogwash. He will not retire and there's a really good chance he still ends up in GB for another 5-6 years. Time will tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matts is simply going by the reports. He isnt ruling out that they can work something out, but right now that seems unlikely. Matts just simply thought you were being arrogant with your hardline "Packers hold all the cards" which transformed into "Rodgers badly wants to stay". He thought that was a very silly stance. Anywho - some new news tidbits: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/06/09/matt-lafleur-well-do-whatever-we-can-to-help-remedy-the-situation-with-aaron-rodgers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thought that was a very silly stance. That's fine. I understand the situation and know that the team holds all the cards because the only *potential* leverage Aaron has is the threat of retirement which, under a modicum of inspection, turns out to be a completely empty threat. Rodgers (and his agents) actions and everything he's previously said indicate he wants/wanted to be in GB badly and have more guarantees. The latest rumors are simply posturing because he didn't get his way and making things public was his only remaining recourse. Of course the FO (holding all the leverage) didn't blink so nothing happened and probably won't happen until after this season now, on their terms, like it always was going to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
