Rodgers is cheaper to stay on the roster than he is to trade though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaRisMa Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 5 hours ago, Refugee said: It was breaking the no 3rd contract rule, for a position you absolutely do it for if the player it at his level, and then he blew up his knee in practice just before the playoffs. It’s not possible to predict something like that but it is part of the game. We never adequately replaced him and the injury lingered longer than predicted by most people including me. It was an example of terrible luck at the worst time. I can understand breaking the 3rd contract rule for a premium position with a clean bill of health. It's using him as an ATM last offseason and writing a 4th contract despite his health that bothers me. Packers had the low down on his health and still pretend he's okay to this day.

He played elite this year though. They were correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If GB's compensation is tied to Rodger's going fwd, it seems likely that GB's compensation will improve as the Jets hit specific milestones such as making the playoffs, division title, AFCC and SB.

Mr Anonymous Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 5 hours ago, incognito_man said: One thing I definitely agree with @Mr Anonymous about is Rodgers desire to want to retire here. The difference is the distinction to be needed here vs wanting to play here. That's a significant distinction. One our FO is certainly well aware of. They hold the actual power. They could make him feel wanted again. But they actually want Love and know that this rebuffing is going to irk Rodgers and make him ultimately want to play elsewhere. Folks who think Rodgers has all the power fail to see that he's still a slave to his ego and will thus not have the REAL power unless he's able to shed that. I think that's really really unlikely. Not much to disagree with here. One small item to take exception to is the front office holding all the power. They only held that power if they were willing to draw a line in the sand. As you're well aware, I've been telling you guys for quite some time now that they simply weren't willing to do that. Thankfully no one has to take my word for that anymore. In the past few days it's been reported in multiple places that if Rodgers wanted to stay in Green Bay they wouldn't force him out. That's why I can't stress enough how much he's bailing them out if he's willing to play elsewhere. BTW, this complicated fella could still create total chaos and say no to the Jets.

You're biggest cog in that was Rap, and he said today Rodgers returning to GB is looking increasingly less and less likely and that the most likely options are Jets or retirement. Sounds an awful lot like a line in the sand to me 🤷 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with much of this. I'm not sure he wants to play any longer. If he does and it's taken this long to decide, it tells you a lot about where he is.
