I can assure you that there's little chance he plays the 2025 and 2026 season under his current contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Anybody think Rodgers came out and asked for a trade during his end of season talk with MLF and Gute? It's about the only thing that makes sense. Both MLF and Gute came out and said they want him back. Now, rumors are they want to trade him. Just get a feeling this Rodgers trade thing is a done deal. The Packers and Rodgers have known this was the direction they were moving since before he left Green Bay for the off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suh then and now was a journeyman, right? Spot starter, rotational guy, but the same guy he was in his prime. Just pointing those two out to make this point... Very good players, but not in their primes anymore. Who exactly has joined the Packers because Rodgers is there? Cobb? And...and...and.... I mean, his #1 target bailed on him last season, despite getting offered more money to stay in Green Bay. Then his arguably #2 targeted bailed on him as well. So maybe we have Lewis returning because of Rodgers? He isn't in the same tier as Suh or Gronk were. Neither is Cobb. Anyone else sign as a FA because of Rodgers? I'm legit asking. Because there has to be someone. Like maybe Peppers. Though I don't know if he ever said that. Woodson came here because we offered him the most money, he did not want to be here. I assume Pickett came here because we offered him the most money. Campbell too. Same with guys like Z Smith, PSmith, Amos, etc - it was because of top dollar. But I'm referring more to the traded QB who gets the FAs. Just a trend I noticed. Patriots and Colts weren't unusually active in FA and such. When Brady and Peyton moved to new teams, it's like a call went out - get ya Super Bowl Rings hee-aah! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dead hit from his retirement, if he files his ppw after June 1, 2025, would still be split. An option to keep things flexible, at least, for the receiving team. Edit: to be clear, since I realize the vagueness of my original post, I was suggesting two years of playing, four years of cap hits.

The Packers and Rodgers have known this was the direction they were moving since before he left Green Bay for the off season. TRIPLE POST I actually just watched Gute's end of season presser again last night..the answer to "do you want Rodgers back" was an awkward "we want all our players back". Didn't notice at the time because MLF was so sincere in his own presser, but he sounded like he knew already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFLGURU Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I think the time is right to trade Rodgers. You likely aren't getting to a SB with him or this bunch. I've got even less faith in Love being anything other than an average QB in this league, but its time to get something for Rodgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract is a positive to a trading team. You'll still end up paying 60M against the cap for one year performance. Option bonus is a plus for the Packers, together with those two dummy years in the contract, but the reality is that nowadays you can do that type of thing in any contract. It's still a negative. 60M in new money in a second year of a contract is so far from any other QB contract.

Just as soon somebody take him, get drafts picks, clear the books which will be painful regardless and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Guy Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Brady announcing his retirement means Rodgers isn't retiring for sure. No way he's going to be second fiddle during the HOF induction ceremony. Edited February 1, 2023 by Old Guy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachbuns Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) With Brady retiring, that takes a quality qb off the market that teams could have "gotten" without giving up draft picks. Not much out there to compete with Rodgers for any team needing a qb to get them over the top. This couldn't have worked out better for the Packers and Rodgers will be in even more demand. Doesn't mean anything if Packers decide to keep him but with Hackett joining the Jets and Brady retiring the odds of Rodgers elsewhere just went up.

Rodgers with a broken thumb on his throwing hand is slightly better than a healthy Tannehill. IMO. If Rodgers has a healthy throwing hand, I don't think it is even close. The question is whether or not he'd buy into handing the ball off over and over again to King Henry and not go rogue changing plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
