I think this probably deserves its own topic.
Brilliant move by Rodgers if this is true, I knew he wouldn't just outright ask for a trade, this puts the ball firmly in the Packers court. I respect this move. I made peace with the Packers draft choices fairly quickly and I remain at peace with those choices, but here's the counterstroke to that and I gotta say I do not fault Rodgers one bit for putting this pressure on the Packers. We've been pretty fortunate to have a HOF QB that has not played hardball with his contract over the last decade or so, he rightfully understands that the front office has not given him any reason to continue to sit quietly and accept actions he doesn't agree with. The Packers may have felt they had a comfortable path to parting with Rodgers on their terms but he just crashed through those safe walls with an MVP season sized wrecking ball. Commit to winning right now or bust it all up, right now. This could be painful but it's sure not going to be boring.
