mannc Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Based on his comments after the game yesterday, Aaron Rodgers may be an unhappy camper. He probably feels he's done as much as he can in Green Bay and I'm sure he's unhappy about the reprehensible FG call by LaFleur yesterday and the drafting of Jordan Love last year. If he demands a trade, what do people think GB could get back for him? What teams would be interested? (I'm assuming GB would have a strong preference to trade him to the AFC.) He's under contract for three more years. I say teams like Miami, Denver and New England would be possible landing spots. Maybe Carolina in the NFC. I would think the asking price has to be a first and a second round pick, at least, but it's going to depend how high the first round pick is.

Matt_In_NH Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) I hate his demeaner/arrogance. But drafting Love was a ridiculously awful move by a team ready to win a championship now. These great Qb's play into their 40's nowadays, no reason for that move. He is gonna make them suck up to him for a while......but I would be shocked if he went anywhere especially on that team friendly deal.

thenorthremembers Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The Packers are going to let Love sit on the bench for three years just like they did Rodgers. However, if he tries to force his way out of GB I wouldnt take anything less than 3 1st round picks. He is the league MVP, and a Hall of Fame Quarterback who probably has 3-4 years left.

The Packers drafted a QB in the first round last year. What are they going to do, keep him on the bench until his rookie contract expires? Rodgers could easily be traded... i don’t know what Rodgers is worth, but it’s at least a first rounder, don’t you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team like the Jets wouldn't do it since they have many holes to fill on both sides of the ball. They aren't winning or competing for a SB in the near future.

TheFunPolice Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Rodgers career has been wasted in Green Bay by poor coaching and a lack of talent. When GB went for that FG instead of the TD at the end of the game yesterday you knew it was over. If you don't make it TB gets the ball at their 8, maybe closer to the goal line depending on the outcome of the play.

Yeah that was a bad decision for sure, the pass attempt had no chance, he could have scored or made a 4th down shorter. He also had a bad INT in the first half that led to a TD. He is a great player but shares in loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elway gave away that control: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30651698/denver-broncos-hire-new-gm-john-elway-takes-elevated-role Quote Mon, Jan 4: As the Broncos' playoff drought has grown to five seasons after this year's 5-11 finish, Elway said Monday that he will remain in place as team president, but the Broncos will hire a general manager "to make all football decisions, working in partnership with [coach] Vic [Fangio].'' Quote It remains to be seen whether Elway will stay in the new role beyond next season, given he has a year left on his current contract. But he said Monday that he envisions a scenario where he does stay beyond next season. "We haven't had a chance to talk about that, [but] selfishly, yeah, that would be something I'd be interested in, but I think we'll take a peek at that,'' Elway said. "... It's a role I kind of look forward to ... we'll see how everything goes.'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may listen to his new GM now, but that GM ain't gonna make a decision that John don't agree with. And by the way, the Broncs probably should give away the next two drafts if they could get Rodgers. They are the classic "decent QB play away from being a contender" team. And Rodgers is still a good bit better than decent ... Edited January 25, 2021 by The Frankish Reich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 For a team with a great defense and good skill players that has everything except a QB, Rodgers, even at his age, is worth multiple draft picks, including a first. The Saints and Colts come to mind. Maybe the Broncos and Dolphins too. Rodgers puts you over the top and makes you an instant SB contender. Looking at Brady, Brees and Rivers, you can see that these guys can still play very well in their late 30s (and early 40s for some). I'm not sure GB makes that trade. Love has skill, but is nowhere near ready to take over as a starter. The Packers are a contender and will be one next year too, with Rodgers. Because of the situation they created, they need to keep Rodgers and pacify him by going out and getting him the weapons he needs/wants in the draft and/or free agency. Otherwise, he's holding out for a trade and creating chaos in the organization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutless coaching. the MVP with the ball in his hand with a play to tie the game, and they say "nah we'll kick the FG and play defense" If I were in Rodgers shoes, I would be looking at two decisions that effect me The decision to draft a Qb in the first round, when there were needs that should have been addressed with a higher priority. The decision to go for a field goal instead of going for the touchdown. I would come to the conclusion that the Coach and Front office do not trust me. There is a loss of trust. Once that is lost it is time to move on. I would either demand a trade, or retire. I doubt he ever wears a Green Bay Packers Jersey in a game ever again.

BuffaloBobs Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 If I am the Colts, or 49ers then I would be going all in for Rodgers -- even at his age, he's worth at least two first round draft picks. I also think long and hard about it if I am the Saints or Steelers depending on the status of Brees or Roethlisberger respectively. I think he makes any of those teams instant Super Bowl contenders and rivals to the top teams in either conference. I also think the Dolphins, Bears, Broncos and even Washington might look to get into the mix too and wouldn't be crazy to send two ones to the Packers, just not as sure they become instant Super Bowl favorites solely with his addition.
