Both the GM and the coach have acknowledged that there are major issues going on. So how was it a clickbait story? You don't think Rodgers wants out?

LeFleur said "hopefully we resolve this and he'll be back in a green bay Packers uniform"

Why would he say that if Rodgers didn't want out?

Who the **** said that there aren’t issues? Of course there are. That doesn’t mean that Rodgers is going to retire/sit or be traded.

So you can at least acknowledge that he wants out right? And that the head coach thinks there's a possibility he won't be a packer next year right...?

No, I don’t think this necessarily means that he wants out. It could be that he wants the GM fired, Love traded, or a new deal.

Since you obviously missed this:

I’m sure you won’t take the word of somebody who is close to Rodgers and has actually spoken to him directly about the situation either though...

I think the most likely outcome here is he skips OTA’s, training camp and comes back the week of the first regular season and then they resume these talks with teams next Spring.

It’s too late to trade this guy now that the draft is done.

I could definitely see him skipping some regular season games

I don't know about that, but when the coach didn't give him the ball in crunch time to win the game I would expect guys like Mahomes, Brady or even Drew Brees to be like. No. I'm winning us this game. Rodgers just trotted out with no emotion either way before or after the play.

I don't think anyone is saying that there's no chance he stays. But he definitely wants to go and he's the type of guy that would choose to sit out a year if he got mad enough.

Even AJ said "never say never" when he was pressed about what he said. And Kuhn for all the optimism he had, only went up to 70-75% chance Rodgers would be a Packer next year.

That wasn’t the point. At all.

Sounds a lot like a guy trying to use the threat “wanting out” as leverage for a new contract.

So no, I still don’t think this all necessarily means he 100% wants out.

They don't want to play Love yet. Rodgers could very well sit out and has the means to do so even without a potential gig in Jeopardy. To me, the more likely scenario here is GB offers to make him the most highest paid football player and fires the GM. If that plays out who do you think the "villian" becomes in that situation?

It may be a bit oversimplified to just say GB has all the leverage. But, this idea in the media that Rodgers has his list of teams he'll play for and GB is somehow obligated to cower down to that is ridiculous.

If GB trades him, the most likely partners would be a team who can give a good QB back. If Watson isn't banned or permanently suspended by the league, I'd be looking there or even Seattle if I'm GB...

But, I think the more likely scenario is the GB GM gets canned and Rodgers gets paid.

Sounds like it to me too. GB should oblige him as well

The NFL is all about the redemption business... happens all the time and depending on how the Watson thing plays out, he's young enough to miss a year and still have a decade of play left.

So, I'm all for HOU working out a deal to send picks/players to GB and then in return, DEN can send players and picks to HOU for Watson.

GB wins by getting whatever they think they want in return.
HOU wins by removing a PR nightmare and getting Rodgers & then essentially replacing whatever they gave up for Rodgers with what they get in return by trading with DEN.
DEN wins because now they have a QB for the next decade at a price similar to what it would take to get Rodgers.
Rodgers wins because now he is out of GB and in a division that he could more easily win during the next 2-3 seasons compared to the AFCW.

Problems solved. :LOL:

Bob McGinn is the best sports journalist covering the Packers. He’s been doing it for like 4 decades.

Cowherd said that McGinn spoke to a longtime friend of Rodgers who said that once Rodgers has it in his head he’s not backing down. 2% chance he plays for the Packers again

How big of a piece of shit is Schefter?

Yeah that was my main takeaway from the interview.
