GB owns his rights so if that is his goal then retiring probably isn't the best approach. The best approach would be to hold out and then come back only when necessary to accumulate a year. GB won't want to go through that circus again next year. Retiring makes it easier on GB to not do shit.
Just play those two games against the Bears, please.

If he retires, he saves the Packers $16 mil on the cap this year. He'd be helping them out.

Even if he does announce a retirement, it may just be a ploy. If he sits out next year, his chances of coming back at his age are pretty slim
No chance.

We know he’s whiny bitch, but cmon man you can’t replace a top 3 QB in football.
Huh?  
robbieballs2003 : 7/23/2021 11:51 pm : link
Who said anything about replacing him? All I said is he is helping GB out meaning he is giving them leverage. GB's plan seems to be to hold onto Rodgers one more year and trade him the following year. Rodgers wants out now. Retiring gives GB all the leverage.
Word is  
Bricktop : 7/23/2021 11:52 pm : link
that he's the new CEO of the Midwest Gay Club Scene and there's a new reality show starting in November. Contract is for $I69 Million.

Plus, he's going for his PGA card. And he'll get it.

How does losing a top 3 at worst QB in football, help out the Packers this season? I get what you are saying but unless Jordan Love is great and you hit on the picks you get back (highly unlikely) it’s a huge LOSS.

No offense but I think you have a reading comprehension issue. I can understand how my first post may have been confusing. My second post answered your question. I never said if helps out GB this year in terms of wins and losses. I clearly stated it helps out GB in their leverage of the situation with Rodgers. Rodgers has no leverage if he retires. The leverage is the threat of retiring. Nobody wins in this situation.

Why bring up the 16 million in the first place? I think you’re backtracking to cover a dumb statement. But believe what you want, I honestly could not care less.

Lol. Okay. Believe what you want. I brought it up because it saves money this year meaning if Rodgers unretires then the cap hit is much less because a good chunk of his prorated bonus is already paid off. That means they aren't force to trade him if they moved on without him and he tried to fuck with their cap situation. This whole thread is about Rodgers not how the Packers would do without him. You say it was a dumb statement but look at what you are believing. You think I would say the Packers are better off without Rodgers? That's insane. And how does the $16 mil help them this year when FA is over? It doesn't. And I think Love sucks so take your awesome responses elsewhere.

where I was commenting about how he should holdout over retire since that would put GB in a really tough spot. Retiring helps GB in terms of their leverage. If Rodgers isn't going to play no matter what, having him retire is better for the Packers than having him holdout financially.

Retiring and saving them 16M is much better for the Packers than him holding out until week 7, coming back and creating a major controversy.

The NFL rule for an accrued season is that a player has to play 6 games. I wonder if that changed when the season went to 17 games but if not he can wait all the way until week 12 to come back.

Because if he refuses to play for them under any circumstances then the Packers come out way ahead given the situation Rodgers has placed them in by saving 16M. You would have a valid point if there is a possibility he would stay with them but since that seems to be off the table then the 16M savings is a nice way to move on.

I just went over his contract. The Packers could go after 23 million of unearned signing bonus money and 6.8 million roster bonus they gave him in May, if he retires. Chances are that he will sit out to week 10 and play his 6 or 7 games required to accrue the season. I believe he has an opt out after this season, which would gain the Packers nothing in trade value and a dead cap hit on this salary cap. This seems like the most likely scenario.

On their salary cap not his salary cap

Yep. That is another reason it helps the Packers out. I think retirement is a bad choice for Rodgers. It's probably the worst decision he could make.
So apparently Rogers and Adams have the same IG story right now...

enough to cut off his nose to spite his face? He has the money to say eff it and leave, no doubt. But his bitch is about not getting enough players/weapons for a run for the SB(it is a bullshit bitch, too). So he is on limited time due to age and he is walking away?
He is probably stuck. The Packers didn't kowtow and now he cannot walk it back.

I could give a shit, but I really wanted the Bears to suck so that #1 pick would be top 5. So eff you Aaron Rodgers.
Hopefully true

Can’t stand this crybaby. Most selfish and overrated QB ever. I’ll never forget this douche and McCarthy whining that GB lost the 2011 playoff game, giving us no credit, after the Giants beat them by 3 scores. Good riddance. You’re welcome for your one Super Bowl.

Waaaay off. He’s on the record is that the uncertainty is what bothered him most aka his practically non guranteed contract. I will never truly understand the ax people have to grind with someone like Rogers and then ball lick Brady in the next breath. Brady literally forced his way out because he didn’t like how Bill was spending the cap money in a year where they were had to pay the piper to the cap gods to one of the most stacked rosters in NFL. Rogers doesn’t like that he can be pretty much surprise cut with no ramifications for the Packers after 15 years of face of franchise, still at an MVP level, wants a new contract, and he’s the bad guy? There would be people that would literally cry here if we treated Eli like that.

He wants another contract? That maybe true, probably is - but that would make him an out and out liar. He claims he is holding out because they did not do enough to build a SB team by giving him more weapons - despite throwing 48(?) TDs last year.

Packers have $5 mill left in Cap space..he is signed through 2023 when he'd be 40/41?

The irony is AR acting like Brett after Brett crapped on his selection. I guess he took good notes smh. I truly can’t stand the way he has handled this situation, especially given how he was treated.

It amazes me how most say football is all about the team until it comes to the QB. When Brett acted like a donkey, it made me dislike his ways even more. QBs get all the love, money, but when it comes to helping their team and actually grooming their successor these clowns act like babies. At other positions you hear about guys grooming other players, but the nfl universe appears to be ok if QBs don’t.

I hope he doesn’t whine his way into being able to be traded to another contender.

You’re waaaayyyy off. This is about the most selfish player in the NFL crying yet again because the baby didn’t get his way. Rodgers is not even in the same planet as Tom Brady. The guy is a me first player who is lucky to even have one ring. Completely not worth the headache that he brings to a team. If I’m GB I’m hoping he retires.

Wow, sports books are bracing?! You mean this is a crazy way to increase their bottom lin? Say it ain't so!

I cannot, for the life of me, believe anything because "Vegas believes" or "the line is moving, Vegas must know something." Sports books are in it to make money, period. Nothing else.

This is likely a non-story. The only thing this is doing is causing people to throw some money down and hope for a payday. Meanwhile, sports books laugh all the way to the bank.

I think you are way off. He wants another contract.




Waaaay off. He’s on the record is that the uncertainty is what bothered him most aka his practically non guranteed contract. I will never truly understand the ax people have to grind with someone like Rogers and then ball lick Brady in the next breath. Brady literally forced his way out because he didn’t like how Bill was spending the cap money in a year where they were had to pay the piper to the cap gods to one of the most stacked rosters in NFL. Rogers doesn’t like that he can be pretty much surprise cut with no ramifications for the Packers after 15 years of face of franchise, still at an MVP level, wants a new contract, and he’s the bad guy? There would be people that would literally cry here if we treated Eli like that.



He is on the record as saying the Packers did not surround him with enough quality players...I have never seen anything about non-guaranteed contract.


He only talked about it on McAfee pretty much all of the last two years. He’s also pissed they used a first rounder on Love instead of a player that could help him. That’s it. Those are the beefs.
What I find insulting is the shot at Krause..

Shows a complete lack of awareness and understanding of the Bulls situation at the time to bash Krause. He was a very good executive.

Ah, so it is about the money! Which is believable(it is always about money). But you are still denying he consistently said the Packers did not give him enough weapons and most people figured it was a dig on them drafting Love instead of a WR. He kind of meekly later said Love was a nice kid...

We had a big discussion about the fact that they lost to TB because his LT was injured and he got chased by JPP and Shaq Barrett all game, not that he had insufficient weapons as he claimed.

It’s not about even being the highest paid player though, at least it wasn’t before. It is now though. It was about the fact that he signed what he imagined a good faith contract with the Packers so they could backload the deal more. Instead, they can pull the rug out from him at any moment. Nobody likes that type of insecurity in their job, let alone the best in the world at what they do . So in that sense it was a smack in the face twice. You think Rogers saw the Packers drafting a QB while he was still at top of his game?

Isn't Rodgers' beef with the GM? If I'm the president of the Packers-who is the de facto owner-I'd fired the GM if that'll placate Rodgers.

He did assemble those Bulls teams outside MJ, which is a big deal, Haha. Krause's problem is that he wanted more credit than he deserved & his ego was out of control.
