I think the issue with all of these scenarios comes down to this.

Rodgers wants to be in Denver because of their offensive weapons and strength on defense.

Green Bay wants draft picks and talent to replace Rodgers.

But all trades involve trading away either one of Denver's biggest offensive weapons or major strengths on defense. Weakening the team right when Aaron arrives. On the flip side, the draft picks to Denver become INSTANTLY less valuable the moment Aaron arrives in Mile High. It just doesn't seem like there's a clear and obvious match here AFTER this year's draft.

I agree.

And it's why I ultimately don't think a trade ends up happening.

The price Rodgers is going to command will defeat the purpose of acquiring him in the first place, as you alluded to.

I just don't think a deal that would satisfy both sides is realistic in this scenario.

Exactly why I continue to say a trade this offseason is very unlikely.

Deal is Denver WILL over-pay to get him. It's their ONLY chance to be relevant next season. Personally, if I'm going to give up a king's ransom for a proven QB, I'd pass on the whole Rodgers deal and wait for Deshaun Watson. He's MUCH younger, so parting with the talent and the draft picks it will take to get said QB, won't have as much of a dramatic affect because said QB can play for 10+ years rather than 3 or 4. Give me a young Top 5 QB over and old one with a soon expiring expiration date any day.

This sort of thing i don’t understand for a 38 year old QB. Who besides Brady has been good at 40? Salvage the future for a year or two of a chance.

2 late firsts and a pile of shit QB for 3-4 years of Aaron Rodgers?

Green Bay would deserve to be the Detroit of the next 50 years if they are that ****ing stupid.

This makes a lot more sense.

Exactly my point earlier... I don’t want it for the costs.

Again, I agree that the team trading for him will have to give up a ton. I’m not a fan of doing that.

And prior to the lawsuits, I said here I was in favor of giving 3 R1 picks up for Watson.

When it comes to getting a franchise QB, even if they're old, you do it.

Screw the cost.

Would you give up a possible 2-3 year Superbowl window for several "what if" draft picks?

It's a no-brainer for me.

Franchise guys get all the calls in crunch time, too. I don't lie to myself for a minute when the Chiefs get that little nudge when they need it.

If the cost is Jeudy or Chubb, another player and 3 R1 picks... I decline.

I don’t know if it’s true or not but I heard he doesn’t have have a no trade clause. If that’s the case banish him to Houston so he’d really have something to bitch about 😂

That’s true, he does not.

It's a tough one, MHM.

You've seen what happens when you don't have "the guy". Denver just happened to be the one exception to the rule back in 2015.

It won't happen again. You have to get a QB.
