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.

What? You guys use only homegrown K.C. boys on your team?

It's professional sports. Every team buys everything they do.

Good teams take the best package. Obviously, the Packers have issues when it comes to acquiring talent.

Our SB winning QB was scouted by and drafte by the Chiefs.

Your SB winning QB was bought in free agency because your GM could spot a good QB if he hit him in the face with a screen pass.

You'd be the ones to know about receivers getting hit in the face.

Not that it much matters. Aaron Rodgers is a first-ballot HOF QB that can beat any team in the NFL on any day and was Mahomes before Mahomes. He's the only QB I think that could consistently go toe-to-toe with Mahomes without blinking. It would not be good to have him in the division, especially on a team with the defense the Broncos have. It's ****ing delusional to think it wouldn't matter.

Your receivers could get hit in the face too but your QB's over the last 5 or so years couldn't hit them standing within arms length of them.

I agree. Broncos are immediately contenders with Rodgers and that D.

The "football fan" in me would be excited to see a divisional game that would have the sheer anticipation and excitement as the 97' matchups between KC and Denver. Unsure if we've really had that since that time.

But, yeah, Rodgers could absolutely go vintage and beat us on any given Sunday. He could also just kind of do the thing where he disappears for a half and gets throttled 41-20 by KC in the playoffs and then passive aggressively pin it on his defense despite being down 28-0 with two INT's at the end of the 1st half.

The vengeful part of me still feels that January 98' hasn't been redeemed. It's one thing to get run out of the stadium for 5 straight years against your rival (the Broncos haven't beaten the Chiefs since I moved to Colorado. Bronco fans are just kind of "numb" to it). It's another thing to be the favorite going into the playoffs, have one of the best teams you have ever assembled, and then for your most hated division rival come in and lead a game winning drive against you in front of your home fans. Oh yeah, throw in that your rivals covered themselves with baby-lotion, were the benefactors of a bad call in the endzone, a phantom holding call on a field goal kick, and only got a slap on the wrist for blatant salary cap violations at the end of the year. Meanwhile, your coach decides to start a QB who wasn't at all conditioned to be playing and who literally had to burn your timeouts in the 3rd quarter because he was too "winded"; timeouts so badly needed at the end of the game.

Anything I'm missing there or does that about do it?
