Holding out into the season would force the Pack to either play Love (who would crash and burn in humiliating fashion) or trade for another QB. Either scenario makes the GM look even more foolish for his 2020 draft than he already does.
Gutekunst doesn’t want the above. Hence Rogers has leverage.
The whole “he’s under contract, end of story” position is overly simplistic.
