We shall see. We have to make the moves regardless to get under the cap. Restructuring contracts doesn't mean we're married to bringing 12 back.

{Family Ghost} Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Andrew Brandt has flip flopped a bit of late, but seems to be back to thinking that Aaron and the Packers are going to breakup. In this tweet he says that the Packers are working it with a series of leaks. Maybe the Packers have always wanted to move on this winter/spring? If so they may have played this things very well and potentially maximized their trade return. Andrew Brandt @AndrewBrandt · 23h Reporting on Packers/Aaron... "Aaron definitely wants to stay!" "Aaron is torn!" "Packers not engaging in trade talks." "If there were trade talks -- but they're not -- they would be with Denver, Tennessee or Pittsburgh." "But did we mention..no trade talks!" Packers working it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We either get a '23 comp pick (likely a 3rd round pick) or immediate draft picks for him by tagging and trading him? It seems pretty clear which is the right answer. The problem with your scenario is the salary cap, among other things. This whole tag and trade thing is pipe dreaming by fans, if they create the space to tag him it is to keep him.

We must have no interest in that. Almost embarrassing how much we're begging this guy to come back at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{Family Ghost} Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 You'd have to think that is a Packers leak, but who really knows? Andrew Brandt seemed to think the Packers have been leaking a lot of this stuff of late. Maybe the Packers expect Rodgers to bolt, and are trying to get the word out there to fans that they offered him a huge deal for him to stay and he passed it up. The Packers don't want to look like the bad guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Packers don't want to look like the bad guy. They won't. The backlash last off-season was entirely on Gute, this season it's entirely on Aaron. Maybe Gute has wanted him gone all along and is just an evil genius? Now he can get rid of him with no push back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 The National Media has turned on Rodgers this time. The Packers front office did everything he asked and MORE. Time to get some draft capital and get our cap right for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaFleur has been the biggest groveler of the bunch. Gute slips up now and again and says something Aaron could take offense to. Hopefully they ship the guy off for a haul.

15412 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 If the GB brass brings ol Rodg back at all costs burying this team in a bloated contract with him and a can that will be a barrel down the road it is clearly malpractice. The only way it makes good sense to bring Rodg back is on a team friendly deal, and that includes what we do with the rest of the team. That being said, I hope I'm wrong and as others stated above Gute and Murph are playing their cards ad holding them tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole tag and trade thing is pipe dreaming by fans, if they create the space to tag him it is to keep him. The question is who would trade for him ? Doesn't really make sense to me. When you trade picks for a player you are trading for the contract and he doesn't have a contract. You are acquiring the rights to sign him to a massive contract. Its debatable whether Adams given his age is worth what is essentially QB money. If its debatable whether he is worth the contract doesn't that make his trade value negligible. Not sure its worth more than a 3rd round pick to get the rights to sign a WR to a monster contract. For me, to give up a pick in the first round or probably even in the second round, it would need to be an all-in team or it doesn't really make sense. A few years down the line, his contract probably looks very bad and you've lost pick/s so it needs to be a team chasing a title in 22. I've no idea whether a tag and trade is viable, always some crazy teams around but it seems unpractical to me unless there is an all-in team very keen and with the resources.
