So what you're saying is that 13 years ago, you would have done everything possible to placate 3-time MVP Favre, thus never giving Rodgers the opportunity to achieve those accomplishments, right? -
Wait, are we citing a report by Bob McGinn? When was the last time McGinn was actually right about something associated with the team?
-
I guess my question continues to be- what have the Packers done at this point to be embarrassed about?
-
So, demanding ultimate respect while according none? No kidding. How embarrassingly childish.
-
Technically, they're on the hook for nothing. They could trade for him and cut him literally the next day with no cap consequences. Far more likely, they'd negotiate an extension that would restructure his remaining contract to lessen the cap hit. In the NFL, the trading team always receives the worse end of the deal cap-wise.
-
I think that's why you target a team that has multiple firsts. But, of those teams you're really only looking at the Giants as a team that needs a QB, and they're obviously not a QB away from competitive. Otherwise, you're banking on a team like Philly or Miami souring on their young QBs.

Not sure if this was an intentional or unintentional swapping of Favre/Rodgers, but I like it....
-
We should probably start keeping a running list of things that have been 'reported' that have further either proven inaccurate or have been disproven by others: 1)The 49ers called and offered #3, other picks AND players for Rodgers but were declined 2)Rodgers to the Broncos is 'as close to done as possible' 3)Rodgers wants Gute fired Any I'm forgetting at this point?

Jordan Love- bit of a steal at 26! Seriously, thanks for sharing- good stuff!
-
Well, 2 for 4 thus far on my list from yesterday!
-
Name one time prior to this 'situation' (which by extension includes the Love pick, presumably) that the Packers didn't treat Rodgers well? He's basically gotten his way for the past several years, including getting a new coach, causing some personnel decisions like Graham (which, notably, was a horrible move for the Packers). Where is all of this 'mistreatment'?
-
Is it actually 'going on,' though? All of this is from unnamed sources. Today is the first business day following the draft, which was almost certainly the SOLE focus of the front office this weekend. I'd argue that there hasn't been a realistic chance for their to be a resolution to any issue at this point....
-
But that would have been true whether Rodgers threw his public tantrum or whether he rode off quietly into the sunset.
-
Ah yes, incarcerated bob. Likely nonsense, especially since the Giants would be a bewildering choice for Rodgers. Though they certainly have the draft capital considering they have two high/mid 1sts next year.
-
I actually think this HELPS the Packers immensely in the long-term. They were going to trade him next offseason anyway in all likelihood, and this basically gave them 'due cause' with some percentage of the fanbase, and buried some of the PR hit amid a really solid draft weekend with the other. It think it'll soften the blowback significantly when it happens next February.
-
The Packers were actually expressing those comments at press events that were already scheduled due to the NFL Draft, the real focus of the Packers this weekend. If anyone had to answer questions about the situation, it was Rodgers in his press interviews at the Derby, where he was hounded about it. Both sides had to dance with the media yesterday, not one. Sorry Jim, I'll end where I began today- I think you're going to be disappointed when you discover that this wasn't actually the case.
-
But that wasn't blinking with Favre. Favre wanted/expected the organization to cave to the fans' sentiment and hand him the starting job back, pushing Rodgers to the bench/out the door. The Packers held firm, and in the most TT way possible, sent him to waste a year of his waning career with a miserable Jets organization. The Packers won that standoff. Unlike Jim, I think Rodgers' end game is the same expectation of Favre's. The Packers trading Rodgers is only them blinking if you really, truly believe that Rodgers wants to be traded. I don't for one second. I think this is a negotiating ploy, and I think the Packers again win this standoff if they call his bluff and trade him. It would be delightfully passive-aggressive to trade him to Houston and make him waste a year with a terrible organization and PRAYING that they acquiesce to his demand to be released next offseason like the Jets did. Things I am confident of at this point, in order of confidence: Gute isn't getting fired The Packers present Rodgers with his best chance to compete for a Super Bowl in 2021 Rodgers isn't retiring this offseason This issue is being blown out of proportion to at least some level to generate clicks/views/readership.

I guess I don’t see how it’s leverage to ‘force’ the Packers to trade him and get a haul of a return 9 months earlier than they were going to anyway. If fact, I laugh since rather than a more amicable split where they may have worked with Rodgers on a possible destination, now they’re motivated to trade him to whoever. It would be truly hilarious to watch him go to a poorly run organization like Houston and never sniff legitimate contention for whatever time he has left....
-
This is only true if you actually believe that Rodgers isn’t hyper competitive and doesn’t want to win a second championship, which simply isn’t true. Add in the fact that he won’t swallow his pride enough to write the Packers a $30 million check, which he absolutely will not do. It also requires you to believe that the Packers wouldn’t be willing to ride it out with Love, much like they were with Rodgers back in 2008. I guess we won’t know for sure unless they actually do, but my gut is that they don’t blink like other organizations do in situations like with the Raiders and Mack.
-
I think mostly the financial ramifications if the Packers trade him. And then if they don't trade him, they don't get anything back for a guy coming off an MVP year. But those ramifications are basically the same after June 1st as they would be after the 2021 season when they probably planned to trade him anyway. I agree with Brew- Rodgers only has leverage if you believe he’s willing to actually retire, which no one believes. If the Packers hold firm as they almost certainly will, Rodgers has no leverage at all.
-
I suspect you’ll be very disappointed when this amounts to nothing in the end.
-
Packers also signed Badger O-lineman Jon Dietzen to a UDFA deal tonight.

As has already been mentioned numerous times in this thread, you can still get a positive test even if you've received a vaccine. A number of ballplayers have missed games this year due to the vaccine side-effects, so do fans get to question their decisions in a baseball context as well? Speculating on Corbin's vaccination status with zero actual knowledge and judging him as if he was Jeff Kent recklessly tooling around on a motorcycle is pretty nonsensical, in my opinion. Didn’t say anywhere that I claim to know whether he’s been vaccinated or not. Just responding to the point claiming that we don’t have an interest in the ramifications of his choice when that choice does, in fact, potentially impact his ability to play baseball.
-
Interesting to get a guy who was both a Thorpe and Bednarik finalist in the 5th round....
-
..... but when not doing so causes him the miss baseball games, fans have every right to question that decision in a baseball context. Just like Jeff Kent is perfectly able to ride motorcycles in the offseason, but when it causes him to miss baseball games, it’s a team’s issue.
