NYRaider Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Packers fans can you enlighten me: if Rodgers does return does that mean you basically have to trade Jordan Love? I read that his $49M cap hit in 2024 becomes fully GTD on February 15th so wouldn't that mean you guys could risk having $69M in cap space tied up into QB?

What are the chances of that? It’s an omen? This is fantastic (assuming it was a find from the past and not staged just now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexGreen#20 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 If Rodgers comes out next week and says "Of course I didn't go hang out in a home for 4 days, I was just messing with the press, I would totally believe him." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers gets $49m in cash that day, but his cap hit will only be $40.7m. Still, I agree that the $60m hit between the two is ridiculous. But if you're Jordan Love, you demand a trade regardless. You've proven you deserve a chance to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fattlipp Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Heard on a Panther podcast that if the Packers are keeping ARod, Love and a 2nd for Moore makes a lot of sense….not sure we could make the money with though… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit Pack Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I think the way the media narrative has switched in the last few days it indicates he is back with the Pack! As others have said no team wants to trade for the uncertainty of how long will he play for and unless he himself is committed to playing for at least another two seasons, uprooting and starting afresh has no value. It's either retirement or back again. I think he still feels he has it, he'll be back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we get over the hump with Arod anymore. That ship has sailed. I'm ready to see what Love has and move onto the next chapter. Tired as hell of all the Arod drama! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{Family Ghost} Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I'm going to hold out hope that the Packers are playing a PR war, while also wanting to keep their trade value at optimal level. Other teams have to think they want him back to get the kind of return they want. Once the Packers publically come out and say they want to go with Love then you are talking about a fire sale with Rodgers. I think Aaron will see the writing on the wall in GB and help facilitate a trade. In the end it will be a mutual parting of the ways.

spilltray Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Marcedes Lewis - expired void years Randall Cobb - expired void years Allen Lazard - looks unlikely to be a serious attempt to retain Bobby Tonyan - expired void years Dave Bakhtiari - w TBD Those are the players Rodgers specifically mentioned publicly that could influence his decision. Don't listen to what they say, both sides are trying to create the narrative here. Look at what they do. If supposedly it was such a big thing that Rodgers wanted a voice at the table on roster moves, they just gave him a big middle finger.

There is no way someone is going to give you that for a guy who played 1/2 of one game last year. Jordan Love is more valuable to the Packers than anybody else. They know what they have or do not have in him. NO team is going to give up that much value on a guy in his 4th year who is an unknown.

Yep, and they will be hard pressed to bring any of those players back. Now, If Rodgers wants to play for a few million this year and take the bonus and tear it up, maybe his buddies can come back. We know that isn't happening so ship Rodgers down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess that there will be limited FA interest in Lewis and Cobb. Maybe a little interest for Tonyan, but it won't be great. Lazard should get interest and Bakh is under contract. If Rodgers decides to come back, I don't think it would be tough to keep Bakh while getting Lewis and Cobb back as well. Not that I want that, but I don't think that would be too difficult. And if Rodgers can re-do his contract? More things become possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were serious about wanting them back and trying to run it back one more time you'd have pushed that money out a year before they came due. Now sure you can bring them back but the cap damage is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just the other side of the narrative getting some airtime. There's a reason they use the media! Imagine the Jets and Raiders FO might be thinking the same, thus increasing his price.
