swede700 Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 Sounds like A-Rodg hasn't even bothered to set up a meeting to discuss the situation with them yet... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 A-Rodg...I do generally try to tune you out, but then you insist on continuing to put yourself out in the what used to be called "front page", so I can't really avoid it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 Since he referenced it in his interview, does everyone else here believe that he has been following the same exact playbook that he learned from Favre? Maybe he'll tweak it a little bit to differentiate himself from Favre, but it's the same playbook on how to annoy the Packers' organization and mostly the same front office. It really does put in light a lot of the same things that Greg Jennings used to say about them and it's almost purposely done by both Favre and now Rodgers to annoy the hell out of them.

vike daddy Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Aaron Rodgers has a fully-guaranteed $58.3 million option bonus that much be exercised between March 17 and Week One of the regular season. If he’d retire before the window opens and if he’d unretire before that window closes, the Packers would be on the clock, strapped with the obligation to pay him either the option bonus or owe that same amount in base salary for 2023. If Rodgers would suddenly return in late July, like Favre did, the Packers would have to immediately get in compliance with the cap, if Rodgers’ total pay of $59.465 million for 2023 would put them over the top. Unless the Packers deliberately find a way to save $60 million in cap space (it won’t be easy, given that they’re currently projected to be over the cap for 2023), Rodgers could force them to basically give him away to anyone who’d take him by the end of the same business day that his contract landed back on the Packers’ cap calculation. And the new team wouldn’t need nearly $60 million in cap space, since it would immediately exercise the option, spreading the $58.3 million over four seasons — and dropping his 2023 cap number to $15.74 million. There’s another significant benefit to retiring now and unretiring later. If Rodgers wants to keep playing but doesn’t want to embrace the offseason program with the Packers or any team, the easiest way to skip out on OTAs would be to walk out on football entirely. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/03/04/will-aaron-rodgers-retire-now-unretire-later/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) Don't they still need to pay Love too for his 5th year option? Edited March 5, 2023 by SteelKing728 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 If the Packers granted him permission to speak with the Jets, I really can’t envision a scenario where he’s not a Jet. Certainly, he won’t be back with the Packers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a greater possibility of that now under Kevin than there was under Zimmer, but still don't see his personality being a fit for this market. 😉 I would love to have him be sent to Tennessee to see how that market would handle his hippie mentality...especially since his other brother lives there and Aaron was supposedly moving there.
