"Ok Aaron you can come back, but we think it's Loves time. He showed as much as Philly as you did vs Dallas all those years ago. You are welcome to come back, but you'd have to beat him out, and that will require you to actually buy in and run the offense the way the coaches want. No we aren't letting you pick where you are traded. If you don't like the situation here, we can move you but we are going to make the best trade for the organization. We will work with you but there are limits." That sounds great in concept. Yet feels like a disaster waiting to happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you get a PO'd Rodgers giving you his best, he agrees to be more flexible on a trade, or he retires. I don't think he'd come back to whine and moan. I'm betting he'd rather retire or get out of gb even if it's not his first choice. He cares about his "legacy" and wouldn't want to look like the bad guy.

Rodgers wins a QB competition over Love, he is going to run the offense as he desires, so the ..."and that will require you to actually buy in and run the offense the way the coaches want.".... goes out the window. Love wins the QB competition sets up an issue if the team loses a few games/ Love doesn't play well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wins a trade for Rodgers taking into account cap implications and picks (assuming a decent offer is made). If you believe Packers win a trade as I am sure 99% of people here do then that means the team you trade him to gets worse (taking into account picks and cap). On that basis. If you are confident trading him is the right thing to do, then you should have no problems trading him to any team in the NFL including the 49ers and NFC North teams. If you make the decision to trade him then take best offer that Rodgers for a team Rodgers will play for and move on. Regardless of whether its 49ers or whoever. Reality is if you were 40 and had generational wealth then you wouldn't take a job you didn't want to take so Rodgers probably would retire if he was unhappy with the trade - anyone critical of that is a pure hypocrite. So you have to respect that and get what you can. Obviously you can hold your ground if the only acceptable team/s offer something inadequate. I think it's potentially a win-win situation for all parties. For the Packers, they move on from Aaron Rodgers and go into the Jordan Love era with more draft capital. For the team acquiring Rodgers, they get him at a very reduced cap hit and probably a highly motivated Rodgers. And for Rodgers, they get a team that's probably closer to winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the most you can for him since he's close to retirement and is too obstinate to adjust his playstyle while he remains in GB. It has nothing to do with winning or losing a trade. You can be confident trading him is the right thing to do and still not want to face him once or twice a year. It comes down to getting something back before he retires. May or may not happen but the team has to try to restock and reload by getting picks in return before he's gone. Why don't you want to face him once or twice a year ?

Although its a big gamble for whoever trades for him. The windows should work nicely for Packers either way. Its likely we will have a couple of down years but if we manage the roster well, hopefully could be back in contention in 2025. Maybe even 2024. Whoever trades for Rodgers is maybe stronger in 2023 but almost certainly weaker in 2025. It comes down to how you see the Packers roster. Is it a Championship roster ? The odds are very low that you take a team that looked anything but a Championship team last year , add a first year starter (no knock on Love) and you have a Championship team. Always a chance. But a very small chance. So I just don't think it matters who we trade him to. Next time the Packers have a real shot at a title, Rodgers is probably retired.

HokieHigh Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 4 hours ago, Pugger said: The best pick SF has to offer this year is a 3rd. I would hope we could do better than that but also getting the 9ers' 1st and 2nd in 2024 is okay I suppose. But is SF even in the market for a vet QB? They spent a lot of draft capital to move up and get Trey Lance. They also have a nice option with Purdy. Would they trade for Rodgers and let Lance sit? If Gute and company are ready to move on with Love I would hope we send AR to NY or LV and get the higher picks this year. purdys arm is done for.

NFLGURU Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 The Niners have no 1st or 2nd round picks in this draft, but they do have 3 3rd round picks this year. Oddly, they are in a row, 99, 100, 101. They have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in 2024. They might have an additional 3rd comp pick in 2024 for a minority coach getting hired elsewhere.

No FRP and no SRP. Their young players on rookie contracts are due for contract extensions. And you have to imagine that the Niners' picks in 2024 are going to be rather later. Not an ideal situation. They're not saying they can't make a trade, they're saying it's not ideal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I'm guessing this is the week we find out Rodgers fate, and consequently the Packers future at QB. The combine is over and it's a slow news cycle week. Rodgers can have the attention all to himself. Hoping/praying he wants to go someplace else, and we get a very good return.

It was March 8 last year when it was announced that Aaron was returning to the Packers. I'd expect some news in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
