Start working on the screenplay. I'll edit and co-write it with you...and accept the Oscar / Emmy when time comes

@CWood21 - will you be the leading man?

@Outpost31 - can you handle logistics for the crew? We'll want Airbnb's for the duration of our stay.

*****, you know I majored in film and media with an emphasis on scriptwriting, right? I’ll write the ****er.

Get Woodley and Olivia Munn to play themselves, Nicholas Cage as Rodgers.  

You're in.

Another conspiracy:

We have an outsized desire to keep him out of SF. I wonder if there's bad blood between the teams because of the tampering. Thus, we are putting a 2-yr poison pill into the trade (i.e. other team has to keep him rostered for 2 years so he can't join the 49ers or give up boatload of picks).

Rodgers, irritated about it, makes his snide comment at the golf outing when asked where he's playing and said "not San Francisco"

In exchange for this ego-driven poison-pill, we're accepting a "reasonable offer" from the Jets. i.e. we're not gonna be thrilled with the return.

Rodgers is pissed because he badly wants to play for the Niners. So he's brooding over the decision knowing the Jets are going to be extremely motivated to keep him there 2 years minimum.

And he's contemplating retirement or playing for the Jets for 2 years and then going to the Niners when he's 42.

Sounds like a conspiracy Qaaron would believe in.

I'd send him to the Niners for their 2nd this year, their 3 3rd round comp picks this year and their 1st and 2nd next year.

He doesn't, but I don't think the Jets are going to wait around a whole lot longer.  That's a decent opportunity for him, especially with no other suitors. 

Rodgers can always return to GB and collect his $58.3M

A place to play? I don't think the Packers want him under center this year. Heck, Murphy made that clear as could be. 

It seems to be the Jets or retire unless somebody else suddenly pops up. Rodgers could be delaying if he's going to retire in order to stick to the Packers a bit. I don't see him retiring though. 

He can return to GB and collect his option bonus.  GB can't cut him.

And his legacy in Green Bay will be severely tarnished.  I guess that's his right thought .. would be interesting to see how the Packers would deal with that.

Sorry....but I dont believe you capable of writing this particular screenplay because you'd need to write yourself into in it order to prove you were right about everything

Why does Rodgers have to end this soon?

So Rodgers doesn't want his new team to sign FAs?

Just trade him to the 49ers for their entire draft this year. They have 11 picks but none until round 3. If they make it to the Super Bowl, we have their next 1st round pick.

I'd have to see it post trade and what we eat of it, but pretty sure once the Jets exercise that option, he'll be pretty much untradable/cutable for them. That bonus pretty much is the poison pill.

My conspiracy is collecting evidence! I knew it.
