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.

Those guys you listed are worthless in a deal like this. They’re fluff, no value.

Everyone in the league knew Alex Smith couldn’t take a team to the SB and Washington still forked over a proven good player and a 3. He was like 34 years old. And everyone knew it was a bandaid solution at best.

Trading Rodgers for a package like that at this point of the offseason is just asking to get fired.

No GM is that ****ing stupid.

Not trading him and letting him retire would be even dumber. Gutekunst could've gotten more earlier in the offseason if he didn't believe that the Packers would be able to smooth things over.

Now his choices are:

1. Continue to hold out hope
2. Let him retire
3. Trade him now
4. Let Rodgers get another year older and trade him for even less next year.

Rodgers isn’t retiring.

The odds of Denver trading for him is significant higher next March than it is next month

They could tolerate the holdout and recover 2021 roster bonus and 2021 prorated signing bonus and that would cover the 2022 dead cap hit of 17 million.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/green-ba...-rodgers-3745/

I do not know if fines and forfeited salary can be rolled over, but Green Bay could be in good shape to get salary cap relief from Rodgers hold out and then release him outright and let him be a free agent for 2022.

Green Bay ought to send a player from last year's team to the media and have them talk about how big a pussy Rodgers was to not run the ball past the LOS on 3rd down in the NFC Championship game.

It is chickenshit for him to gun for Gutenkist, who is just a guy trying to be a success in his chosen profession, and has done okay.

That really is chickenshit to be a guy who has earned $240 million in his NFL career to date and is contracted to receive another 75 million through 2023, to be such an asshole to someone nobody knows anything about.

Packers should let the buddy****er Rodgers walk and get some cap relief and let some other team hire his drama queen ass next year after his fiancée-actress becomes his ex-fiancée .

I wonder if State Farm would want him for commercials if he is holding out after he played like a pussy when the NFC Championship game was still a contest.

It would be cool to see one person in the media challenging Aaron Rodgers instead of it being a 100% unanimous ass-kiss.

If Rodgers was in a contract year then yeah he could potentially retire and force their hand bc they would have to pay a shit load of money to him on the franchise tag to keep that hope alive but they have him under contract for a few more years which makes it difficult for Rodgers to gain much leverage.
