But that wouldn't make any sense for the Packers, none. Oh cool you forced Rodgers to retire, really stuck it to him! Don't mind how it hurts the Packers more than Rodgers. Rodgers can just go do something else likeJeopordy, but the Packers would miss out on multiple top draft picks and probably legit talent along with it (or even more draft picks). The Packers hold all the cards if we knew 100% there is zero chance he would retire...but it seems more than plausible he could. Rodgers holds almost all the cards because he holds the most deadly card (retiring) and that is clear by the Packers publicly begging to do anything (basically) to get him to come back and MLF looking like he wants to ball up and cry on multiple occasions. The absolute worst outcome for anyone that hurts someone the most is Rodgers retiring on the Packers. It would be crippling in the short term and long term for the Packers. The Packers can convince him to come back (I still think this happens) or you figure out a trade. Forcing him to not play is not winning for the Packers. All it does is make Rodgers lose, but you are losing even more in the process. i agree with you. it would be franchise malpractice to not trade him if you felt like you had to, but to say that Rodgers holds all of the cards is simply not correct.
