The Way a Packers Forum Should Be

I feel like about 4 or 5 people have answered this quite a bit on this forum.
meh, I think we could probably safely jettison those players who would come out in support of Aaron, if such a thing happened.bud fox wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023 15:25Management don't want this to become a Rodgers vs us scenario. That can divide a team - longer it goes on current packer players coming out in support of aaron etc.
I suspect it won't be much value likely with escalations if win sb etc.
Management have a positive spin either way. Get a haul and say got great compensation. Or low compensation but say it was important to do right by aaron after what he has done for the team.
Just n3ed to get it done.
I haven't watched the Pat McAfee interview yet. Did Rodgers really say this?German_Panzer wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023 14:59I even believe #12 that the Packers originally wanted him back right after the end of the season.
Rodgers overarching theme was, "he felt all during 2022 that the organization wanted to move on after this season but then was shocked when the Packers told him they wanted to move on after his darkness retreat."texas wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023 16:22I haven't watched the Pat McAfee interview yet.

He said they said take as long as you need to decide on retirement. Then waited for him to go into his darkness thing so they could build a case against him and work the media like the snakes they are.texas wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023 16:22I haven't watched the Pat McAfee interview yet.

Yes. He said that after the season they signaled him to continue with him but that changed later when he did his darkness experiment. And indeed after the season MLF signaled he‘d want #12 back, but then later more ambigious signals came from Gute.texas wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023 16:22I haven't watched the Pat McAfee interview yet.

I didn't see it yet, but this makes more sense then he thought it was his last season dating back early last season, what I remember most was his disgust for the receiver situation, he got on the young guys and Watkins, because other then Cobb and Lazard he needed those new guys, then the thumb, the OL, and through it all I didn't see any quit in him.lupedafiasco wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023 16:36He said they said take as long as you need to decide on retirement.

I’m just accepting what he said at face value. There are enough other people reading into his comments. I don’t need to be one of them.Yoop wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023 14:14Scott what would you say in his shoes? the same thing, he is not about to act like a spoiled sport, he wants to show a positive attitude with his new boss, new team, no way he's going to show disgust with Gute or the Packer FO, or even Fans. he wants to leave hoping everyone connected to the Packers appreciates what he meant to this team, why would he burn those bridges.Scott4Pack wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023 12:33He is NOT offended at all. McAfee stirring things up a little with how former players were treated. 12 still saying that he is totally okay and loves every person in the organization. “Nothing but love and appreciation.”
what he said is for the public, it doesn't mean much to me.
And don’t forget the bonus that he is due anytime between now and the first week of the season. It is imperative that he is off roster before then. Otherwise, he’s just a guy on the roster and employee of the Green Bay Packers.go pak go wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023 15:38I feel like about 4 or 5 people have answered this quite a bit on this forum.
Right now Rodgers cost $31MM on our cap.
If we trade Rodgers now or he retires he will cost $40 MM on our cap.
And yes. We have until September to make a move otherwise the Option officially kicks in.
So our cap actually increases the sooner we make a move (from a Top 51 standpoint) and doesn't actually have a "can't go back now" on the cap until September. Getting Rodgers off our books sooner increases our 2023 cap hit.

The misrepresentation of his literal words to create that lack of chill is interesting, but not surprising.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023 17:12Honestly that interview and this whole situation is way more chill than the people discussing it
