TheFunPolice Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 A straight up Wilson for Rodgers trade would be interesting. That's the only NFC trade I could see. It also makes some sense, as both guys seemingly want out. I would say it's good for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as management, if Love falls on his face early in the year then even more leverage goes to Rodgers in that scenario. Suddenly the team is in a mess and they would need Rodgers to help them out, either by coming back to play for them (and in doing so basically getting whatever he wants) or agreeing to unretire and accept a trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers had a roster of Hall of Famers when he played and could keep them all together without a salary cap. And they had a Hall of Fame coach, a great owner, and a great organization. Rodgers has none of those things. Plus Packers traded up for Love. It’s not like he fell in their laps like Rodgers did. Rodgers ain’t the most likable dude but he’s got plenty of reasons to gripe. Love ain’t even good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 As always like the Brett Farve crap a decade + ago, not happening. What is he going to take a $30+ mil. Haircut sitting out? He has zero leverage. how many people said Russel Wilson is gone. How about d Watson. It’s not happening. This is click bait news. That’s all.

CNYfan Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I think the league manufactured this issue to create a diversion from the D. Watson train wreck.

I think for that kind of cash i would just quit the cry baby stuff & show up & go to work . Some of these athletes when they start to whine like that need to be sent to be a block masons tender for a couple of weeks to remind them just how freakin blessed they are & how easy they really have it with every body waiting on them hand & foot . Naw. All Rodgers has to do is hold out and then report to the Pack with six games left in the season so he gets his accrued year. He won’t get paid his salary for the other 11 games but that’ll clear him of any real chance of having to repay his signing bonus - which is very difficult for teams to reclaim anyway. Or he could go the hurt, not hurt route. Lotta ways around paying back the SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Brees and New Orleans got in fights over contracts a couple of times but it didn't seem to get this bad. The pack really missed an opportunity to add a lot of talent to the roster this season around Love and perhaps a more seamless transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I have no love for Rodgers. I thought he was a douche when he was drafted but came to respect his play on the field. But if any of you begged your bosses for more help to do your job, and instead of doing it, hired someone who can't help and who may eventually take yours, you'd be pissed off as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Adams, Jones, Williams, Valdes-Scantling, Tonyan Rodgers had only managed 26 TDs passing in 2019. With the same lineup, he had 48. Tonyun had more TDs than any Bills did--more than Knox, Brown and Beasely-combined....and he was Rodger's 3rd-4th option. In fact, with the same "nothing" guys, Rodgers had the 2nd best season of his career. Did he make them better or did they make him even better? Likely both. You have a clear disdain for Rodgers to not recognize his greatness. It's baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers had no opportunity to stand still in any kind of pocket because he had to run for his life pretty much once he’d finished dropping back. Despite all that he had one less than perfect throw the whole game. QB play simply doesn’t get any better than that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 They're talking about him going to Denver, Las Vegas or Miami, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Patriots are in play. I doubt they'd trade him to an NFC team. I think the 2 most likely scenarios are they resolve their differences or Rogers sits out the 2021 season.
