Lol, maybe if Rodgers takes an $8.5 million pay reduction so we can fit in Cobb's salary.

Rodgers would certainly gain a lot of love if he took a paycut to bring back Cobb.

I mean I’m sure he would like to play with Cobb, I just still doubt it is some deciding factor

Cobb is owed $8.5 Million and we would have to give up draft picks for a player who has more than 700 yards receiving once since 2015.

I would be for it. But a LOT of compromise would need to happen here.

So there is talk that Rodgers wants the Packers to essentially void the contract and allow Rodgers to be a free agent after this season in order for Rodgers to come play this year.

I really, really don't want to do that. I would honestly rather have Rodgers retire.

IMO, the worst scenario for the Packers is if Rodgers gets to leave without any compensation in return. We would get a 5th round comp pick because he's old.

Never would have guessed that Tom Crabtree was still in the league.

Yeah I will be absolutely furious if this happens. Then I would have preferred we just traded him to the Broncos before the draft.

I would then be on board to firing some FO people if it happened and we don't win a SB. Even if we would win a SB....

The new agreement, once finalized, would help set up Aaron Rodgers’ departure from Green Bay after this season, per sources.

*The 2023 year in Aaron Rodgers’ contract – the last one in his current deal -- would be voided, with no tags allowed in the future, per sources.

*The Packers would agree to review Aaron Rodgers' situation at the end of this season, per sources.

*Aaron Rodgers’ contract would be adjusted with no loss of income this year to give the Packers more cap room now.

•Mechanisms will be put in place to address Rodgers’ issues with the team.

With Aaron Rodgers expected to return to Green Bay while giving the Packers more cap room, Davante Adams now is willing to listen to any contract discussions the team would like to have, per sources. Adams open to a deal.
Apparently Aaron is on his way to Green Bay

Allrighty then

What if the contract voided on the condition that the team wins the Super Bowl, but he's tradable if not?

This is what I want.

I'm going to be really mad at management if they screw this up where Rodgers gets to leave GB under his own power and we get nothing for it.

A SB would forgive pretty much everything.

I'm pleased it at least appears we can still do something in the offseason of 2022.

We are in the stage where Rodgers can save face. It’s not gonna be that bad on the org, imo. We kind of all said this was going to happen.

Also.

Bravo to Aaron Rodgers. His stink is going to get him exactly what he wants. Well played Rodgers.

seriously why would you just jump to a conclusion like that, has anything been said that we'd let Rodgers walk after this season, sometimes I think that you run this stuff through your mind and forget to put your fingers on hold, lol

sounds like a one year deal for Rodgers, and he'll get a say with where the team trades him, Adams now saying he's open to extension seems like his threats where to help negociations with Rodgers

I’m Surprised how much some are believing “reports” like the contract is voidable after this season, without seeing it for themselves or from a release from the team...considering all the baloney we’ve heard all along this summer.
