Gutekunst doesn’t want the above. Hence Rogers has leverage. The whole “he’s under contract, end of story” position is overly simplistic. I negotiate for a living. What do you do? |

No, they won’t be “forced” to do anything and the chances of him actually sitting out and wasting one of the few years he has left while on a team that’s a SB contender are extremely slim.

I guess that makes you an expert here, huh? Sitting out is also an empty threat. He’s 38 years old and isn’t going to waste one of the few years he has left when his team has left a shot at a SB. It’s not happening. |

And my experience tells me Rogers isn’t bluffing. |

Also, for the no trade clause crowd, Rogers’ ability to threaten retirement if he’s traded to an unacceptable destination is real leverage.

Do you even ****ing read? AJ Hawk, who spoke to Rodgers personally, has already said that it’s pretty much a 0% chance that he retires.

It’s possible but seems unlikely. Hawk’s opinion isn’t gospel. |

So you prefer to take the word of the clickbait media over a known friend of Rodgers who spoke to him personally about the situation?
