Defense Wins Championships Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 13 minutes ago, Lith said: $64M for three years of Rodgers, even at 38 is a bargain. And the last two years of his contract are not guaranteed, so if he falls off a cliff you are not stuck with him. So a team that is ready to win now could add him. I think the bigger challenge is the timing for this season. Most contenders have their QBs in place, which is why they are contenders. Late in the offseason to find a deal of this magnitude. So, if you are GB, and he announces his retirement, they may be better off just letting him sit, free up some cap space, and move on. If someone comes calling, answer the phone. Interesting game of chicken, and since it does not involve us, I can sit back with no stress and see how it plays out. And for my Packer fan friends, after 30 years of Favre and Rodgers, its hard for me to feel sorry for them. Yeah man I'm just hoping he doesn't go to N.E in order to Bill Belichick to make one more 3-5 year run because playing against Aaron Rodgers 2x per season wouldn't be very fun for me. I hope he goes to Chicago or New Orleans and stays out of the AFC entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Just a leveraged power move I would guess that he’ll be late to camp but will probably show up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That generally doesn't happen unless they are at least down to Defcon 3 about a major shake up in the lines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just would be amazed from the perspective that he makes himself the villain automatically by not allowing the packers to plan to replace him. Seems like a guy who needs to be have his ego stroked and having the fan’s turn on him would be a pretty big miscalculation guess we’ll find out this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They outright disrespect him and drafted Love @ QB instead of providing him with an OT or WR. They've only drafted him two 1st round offensive players dating back to 2006 of 16 drafts ago and that's absolutely criminal and so was drafting Love in the 1st round. GB no longer deserves either one of Rodgers/Adams and Good Luck to them without them ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, nothing massive about that deal, who wouldnt expect to pay that for a QB, not even a Aaron Rodgers, an all time great. Look at Brady. 42 and not in the same planet as far as his athleticism. Rodgers can get out of the way and even take off running better and still has a cannon for an arm. Why wouldnt a pretty talented team, especially defensively, with good WRs not pay out that kind of money? In fact I would expect Rodgers to be looking for a redo if traded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though I saw him post here a while back. Or was that in that other Jets ex-message board.. you know... the one that died holding a bounced check from scout and a bag of wet emails.. It was Bob Jensen who introduced me to the Fab Faux on those Usenet boards back in 1998. Still one of my favorite acts, by far. The only reason I’d go to NY over the holidays would be to see them again on NYE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Moore Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 And magically now Davante Adams is willing to listen to contract extension offers again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defense Wins Championships Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I'd love nothing more than both Rodgers and Adams to stay in GB because it'll keep Rodgers away from the AFC Broncos and especially away from Miami with Adams if it's true he wouldn't ever become a Jets JD target well then I'd hate to see him in N.E helping out their rookie QB for 4-5 years.

Dcat Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 So I quote from a Packers fan on the agreement reached between the Packers and Rodgers: 1.Packers agreed to void 2023 from Aaron's contract. 2. Restructure the contract to give the Packers some cap space and of course no income loss to Rodgers he still gets every dime he would have received anyway. 3. Mechanisms in place for Aaron to voice his displeasure should there be any. 4.Packers agree if Aaron Rodgers is still feeling how he feels now about how the Packers do business and the culture of the organization they will review at the end of this season for a possible trade-in 2022.

Jet Nut Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 So when I was told it wasnt about the money it ultimately was fixed with guess what, ripping up his deal and giving him a new deal. Yup, wasnt about the money, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
