Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay on the Outs?



Quote:
Aaron Rodgers doesn't want to return to Green Bay Packers, sources say
Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers is so disgruntled with the Green Bay Packers that he has told some within the organization that he does not want to return to the team, league and team sources told ESPN on Thursday.

The Packers are aware of his feelings, concerned about them and have had team president Mark Murphy, general manager Brian Gutekunst and head coach Matt LaFleur each fly out on separate trips to meet with Rodgers at various points this offseason, sources told ESPN.

"As we've stated since the season ended, we are committed to Aaron in 2021 and beyond," Gutekunst told ESPN. "Aaron has been a vital part of our success and we look forward to competing for another championship with him leading our team."

Rodgers has not budged this offseason, but neither have the Packers, who have made it known they are not interested in trading Rodgers anywhere.

The San Francisco 49ers called the Packers on Wednesday night, a source told ESPN, and the Los Angeles Rams inquired about Rodgers in January before they traded for Matthew Stafford.

The Packers quickly dismissed the Rams' overtures, the source said.

The Packers have offered to extend Rodgers' contract, sources told ESPN.

Rodgers is unhappy for a variety of reasons, with some of it dating back to last year's draft when the Packers didn't inform him before trading up to draft a quarterback with their first-round pick. Some took this as a sign that his days in Green Bay could he numbered.

He also is at a different point in his personal life, having recently gotten engaged to actress Shailene Woodley. Rodgers also has hosted "Jeopardy!" and said it would be a dream to become the full-time host. He could play football and host Jeopardy! together.

Rodgers has made cryptic comments about his future in Green Bay, but he has told others that he does not want to return.

On draft night, the Packers' biggest issue isn't who they land, but whether they can keep the former NFL MVP.

Rodgers' contract contained a $6.8 million roster bonus due in March. It could have been converted into a signing bonus that would have freed up more than $4.5 million in salary-cap space for this season but instead it "vested as scheduled," a source told ESPN at the time. It's listed as an automatic conversion in Rodgers' contract but even that has to be signed off on by both parties. It's not known if the Packers tried to convert and Rodgers refused to sign off on it, or if they did not attempt a conversion.

The good news is that CP is inherently admitting that they think the Chiefs NAILED the offseason because they're talking about Aaron Rodgers and the Broncos.

Definitely that lull between the draft and camps.

But, I have not seen one statement from the league that confirmed they actually were given an advantage by signing players they otherwise would have been unable to pay/sign.
You REALLY can't see the advantage???? Man, Mania I'd expect that from Knowmo, Krans, Toumbstone, etc, but not you. Wait a minute, never mind...

The Broncos got a significant competitive advantage (real or potential) from this rule breaking. The entire league followed the salary cap rules during those years and the Broncos did not. They also happened to win the Super Bowl twice during those compromised years. If a Super Bowl can be tainted by a cheating scandal, then these two are pretty high up the line.

This is the last comment I'll make about it for now, but I was talking about the last 4 seasons during the season.

Cute. That's cute, Aaron.

Maybe you should have put a little more effort into beating Minnesota more often than you did?

Funny snippet from the most anticipated QB matchups of 2021...

Adam Rank

NFL.com writer

The quarterback matchup I'm most looking forward to is Patrick Mahomes versus Aaron Rodgers. Each player can certainly make a claim for being the best in the game at the position. And as a fan of the Chicago Bears, I'm rooting for this to become a twice-a-year rivalry with Rodgers as a member of the Denver Broncos. Think of the matchups that would happen if this hypothetical trade were completed, with Mahomes, Rodgers, Justin Herbert and Derek Carr in the AFC West. That would be like an old-school four-corners match in wrestling. I would love to see it. Mostly for Rodgers being out of the NFC North. But as a football fan, too. So, I'd prefer two (a guy can dream, right?) but I suppose I can settle for one meeting between two of the last three MVP winners.

Obviously not "creative" enough being that the NFL fined them and docked draft picks.

Donks fans cant, wont and will never admit they skirted the cap...but if the Chiefs had done the same thing and won a SB...they would never shut up about it.

Thats a fact...

I do appreciative your gift for "creative" rationalization....

Wait, so did the Broncos beat the NFL's rigged system by cheating, or was the cheating and "punishment" all part of the NFL's master plan?

Do you feel better after posting that?...it's OK if you think everything about the NFL is legit. I'm just some dude on the internet with an opinion...

They have been "fixing" games since it's inception...it's why the NFL was created. ...but billion dollar broadcast deals made it paramount to keep games close to warrant the investment and boost advertising.

Multi-billion dollar gambling rose from the advent of the internet...right around the time Goodell became commissioner. It was when the internet became able to support it.

Now they have ties with Vegas..out in the open. Manipulating point spreads is a billion dollar industry...the casinos made 10s of millions just off the 1st Raider/Chiefs game. Just a questionable call/no call here or there...

People were talking about why the Chiefs would go into hibernation in the second half...because a Mahomes offense is a Vegas nightmare. You'll start to see this implemented even more overt in the future..not with just the Chiefs.

They will never relinquish their ability to make 100s of millions off a few bogus calls...and "THEY" own the NFL...they can do what ever they want...and those who work for them...WORK for them. There is a structure of power here...Coaches arent allowed to publicly question the officials and officials arent allowed to speak publicly either. They have a gag order...think about that.

If you think it's legit...by all means ..buy tickets, take your kids...enjoy it...nothing wrong with a little escapism...

So why do you sit on a forum arguing over fixed games . Why bring up Rodgers records in playoff games if those games were fixed for him to lose?


Who do you think the nfl will rig to win the superbowl this upcoming year? Mahomes again? You're like 0/4 picking which team they'll have win the last 4 years, so you're due to pick the right team.

I've tried my best not to voice my opinion..especially since the SB. I dont care that much anymore...I tried to avoid it in this thread...you were the one who asked why I wouldn't answer the question.

I'm not arguing...you are free to think what you want. I legit dont care anymore...it doesn't bother me if you disagree...I'm not trying to change anyone's mind.

I still like the draft and the concept/strategy of team building...it's entertainment/diversion. I dont put much stock in the legitimacy of outcomes...and I haven't been wrong the past 4 years. I predicted a LA team in the SB...and they got there by the worst call in playoff history.
