I think he would have to go through waivers first, which means the Cleveland Browns would have first crack at him. That would be pretty awesome on all accounts IMO.

Malik Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I mean if that is the rule then yes he should be free. No one is actually going to fight for it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y*so*blu Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 This is actually a thing? I thought it was just a running gag in the Vikings section. I don't think anyone's going to make a serious issue out of this. While it would be something to see the chilling, soul-searing panic that would engulf the Packer Nation if they did have to give up A-Rod ... honestly I'd rather have him stay right where he is; where the burden of the entire team's morale and success remains a crushing weight upon his shoulders, and the coaching staff can continue to hide behind his numbers until one day he retires and the whole house of cards comes down. And on a less acrimonious note, he belongs in Green Bay. The Vikings need him there almost as much as the Packers do for one simple reason: you need strong divisional opponents to hone your skills. You need an immediate, looming challenge that gives you a sense of perspective. With Rodgers there, beating the Packers takes on a special meaning. I just don't get the same satisfaction from knocking Brett Hundley around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas5737 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 There is no dead money if he were released. He is a vet so I believe he wouldn't have to clear waivers. The only real punishment forcing the Packers to cut him is the risk that Rodgers wouldn't re-sign with the Packers which seems extremely unlikely.

Pugger Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 From what I understand the league has to approve transactions such as this so if the league approved Rodgers isn't going to be cut. IMO these reports are only major trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
