I don’t think they have an issue with moving on… it’s moving on after Rodgers produced 2 MVP level seasons. Like I know some would be for moving on after that… but I think the majority of fans and people would almost start a revolution over that move. I think they saw the end of Rodgers and figure draft Love and in a year or two they would make the switch. But Rodgers blew that up with his play. Rodgers has heavily hinted towards this on Pat Macfee. I think GB blinked in that game of chicken with Rodgers, given what he did and I’m sure Love wasn’t as polished as they might of hoped. I think Love is now and that’s why GB gives off the vibe of… if a trade is demanded that’s fine. Where like just a year ago… everything was Rodgers is our QB.

squire12 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Seems like this process needs a first domino to happen. 1. Rodgers makes a decision of whether he wants to retire or play in 2023. 2. From there, I'm not sure if GB or Rodgers is next up in the process of reaching an endpoint of this situation. Is it up to GB to decide if they want Rodgers back for 2023. Or Is it up to Rodgers to decide if he wants to play in GB or elsewhere. I lean more toward GB needing to decide if they are transitioning onto Love or rolling with Rodgers another year. If it's GB call to determine step 2..... then Rodgers has step 3 A. He is back in GB and whether his contract is redone, though I'm not sure what part or why Rodgers would do that B. GB is transitioning and Rodgers provides a list of teams he would be willing to play for in a trade scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys hasn't had a 300 yard passing game in his last 21 or 22 games. That horrible performance against the 49ers should have been the end game. The Packers botch his exit from GB and double down with a hideous contract. Rodgers rewarded the Packers with his worst season as a starter. Move the hell on .. it's over. It's been over for more than a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it up to GB to decide if they want Rodgers back for 2023. I hope the sequence starts like this, instead. 1) The team decides if they want Rodgers back. 2) They communicate this (subtly but clearly) to Rodgers. For example, if they want him to move on they can emphasise how many of the 'old guard' (Lewis, Cobb, Crosby etc) will not be with the team, in 2023. If they want him back they try to keep Cobb and Lewis one more year. 3) Rodgers makes HIS decision with the knowledge of what the team wants (he doesn't necessarily 'help them out' here, if they want to move on). 4) Packers move on with Love as starter (if Rodgers gone), or they bring back Rodgers for one more go-around and possibly lose Love in the process, because he's tired of waiting and pushes for release.

MacReady Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 This can’t be. It’s against the rules for a player to restructure their contract or extend their contract in order to help the Packers. I know because Aaron Rodgers did that 6 times in his career.

It’s tough to pay premiums at RB but he was severely underpaid for his first years here, is a model Packers and most importantly is a game changer for our offense. They only real concerns are holding up at his size and some of the fumbles that he has contributed to playoff loses. Still very good for the locker room and hope he keeps playing at a high level.

Jones would have saved like $10M if he was cut, but saves about the same with a restructure. My main takeaway is that everyone who thinks the cap situation will be a band-aid that gets ripped off will be disappointed. It'll take 2-3 years of moves to work out all the restructures. On the plus side, this probably means 2 more years of Jones, and he's at least a good player and a solid teammate. He might be overpaid, but there are worse things GMs do than overpaying good players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Jones is still very useful. He is going to be 29 and has never even come close to 300 carries in a season. Do I want him on the team at 35? Probably not. But he should be very useful until he is 32 or 33. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieHigh Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Jones looks great out there. This makes the original extension of aj and dillon pick easier to chew on for me. Now we resign cobb and big dawg so rodgers can emerge from the dark to some good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most GB could have gotten in cap relief was $16m with a post June 1st release. Is he worth $5m? I think so. He's still a valuable player and one of the better RBs in the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
