MacReady Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 There’s also the option of a wink/nod, “Draft this player 7th overall and you get Rodgers,” deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) The Packers trade market is setting up nicely for the Packers with Brady's retirement. I see 5 main teams in the mix: Jets are the obvious players in this (#13) (AFC) Raiders will be looking for a QB if they move on from Carr. Garrapolo is the wild card. (#7) (AFC) Colts if they hire Saturday and Irsay is desperate for a QB (#4) (AFC) Titans if Rodgers shows interest in moving there. (#11) (AFC) Falcons - Similar offensive system, good offensive weapons in place & Jake Matthews (#8) (NFC) Dark horses include: Texans - I think the Packers will try and get them involved to drive up the price (#2 & #12) (AFC) Tampa - Maybe they will look to repeat their success with Brady by trading for Rodgers. But unlikely for two reasons (#19) (NFC) Panthers. QB needy, dumb owner, new head coach will want to ensure he has a good QB this time round (#9) (NFC) I'm sure Rodgers will want to go to a warm weather contending team. Closest he can get to that are the Raiders and Falcons. If warm weather is not an option for him then I can see the Jets and Colts being favourites for him. For me in a perfect world Rodgers to the Colts would be our best option. Edited February 1, 2023 by Chili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me in a perfect world Rodgers to the Colts would be our best option. Take a look at Tampa's cap situation, then look at their roster after the moves they have to make to get under. Then scratch them off the list. The Colts at 4 might give us a shot at either Anderson or Carter. The two gems of this draft.

Pick6byWoodson Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 If Rodgers is traded to SF, would Trey Lance be an option to be part of the return package? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, even in 2008, Rodgers went 6-10 in the first year before taking off. If Love starts this season, I am tempering my expectations to a .500 type of year. I would actually try to save money in 2023 (if you go with Love) and then be more active in FA for 2024 and beyond. Wouldn't you want to spend all of the money possible in 2023 then? Like get as much of the cap hits out of the way right now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kicked him to the curb before the season was done.....supposedly so he wouldnt get injured and they could trade him before some contract money came due.

New FAs tend to have the lowest cap hit the first year of their deal in GB. 2024 could be another 2019 where we go HAM in FA.

Taking Lance is doing them a favor. I give you Rodgers and take Lance off your hands, now let's start talking return for the Packers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take all cap hits possible in Love's first season, when we probably struggle anyway. Have likely a good draft pick, and more cap room for future seasons.

Hypothetically speaking, if the Texans were interested in him and wanted to use their top pick elsewhere: Packers Get: #33, '49ers Pick(s), Texans Pick(s) 49ers Get: QB Aaron Rodgers, #65 Texans Get: QB Trey Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
