OT: What is the chance NO ONE wants Aaron Rodgers?

[Ghost_Lombardi]

He may be done, even if he doesn't want to be. The physical skill set and ability to lead a team have declined to the point that it no longer makes up for everything else an AR signing would bring. Why bring in a carnival of &%$@ AND lose when drafting a rookie QB at least gives real hope for the future.

[Scott4Pack]

I would say the "chance" is maybe 10% that no team wants Aaron. He still has skills that very few QBs have, despite what some people say. And most teams don't realize that he is now a polarizing influence in the locker room.

Somebody will take a chance on him. Just don't know who yet. I don't believe the Vikes will unless JJ is injured beyond what they estimated. I don't believe the Niners for a second. Seahawks? Maybe. Da Bears? (He does own them, ya know.)

[Cdragon]

I don't think he'd settle for a team below .500 even though they might want him. He has a good shot at moving a .500 team into the playoffs. But if nobody wants him I think he hopes for a top team losing a QB to an ACL. He'll move slightly better for an old man, with another year removed from the heel. And if he can play nice and keep his mind on the job, he might get a shot somewhere in 26.

[Labrev]

The moves made recently didn't help. Apart from an in-season signing for a team that loses their QB1 and needs an immediate stopgap, the only teams I can see desperate enough to maybe do it now are CLE, IND, PIT, and NYG.

But yeah, I think he might be out of luck at this point.

zero, he's still better than half the starters in the league, what he needs is a decent team and a strong coach he respects.

[Papa John]

I agree. He still throws a better ball than most starting QB's in the league.

And most teams don't realize that he is now a polarizing influence in the locker room.

I never thought he was as polarizing of an influence within the locker room as some would want us to believe. Polarizing within the media? Of course. But I think, by-and-large, his teammates have had favorable opinions of him.

[Scott4Pack]

FWIW, I am sick and tired of the reporters and bloggers chatting it up about Rodgers being likely or maybe to the Vikes. I get it. It's a dead season and they need to report something. But it's nothing more than conjecture and hearsay and rumors. Oh yeah, it might also be a fan base getting stoked up about something that may have no factual basis at all.

At least by Monday, we'll be more busy with FA chatter and the "likelihood" of any QB going anywhere will be put on the back shelf.

FWIW #2, for all of the conjecture of QBs moving around, why did nobody pick up on the possibility of the Raiders trading for Geno? It only made sense that Pete Carroll would still like the guy and want to acquire him. I didn't see a single person, even the "experts" consider that one!

Rodgers is probably a bridge QB at this point. You sign him for 1 year and draft a QB high. Then AR can show the rookie how to properly break down the Zapruder film.

Rodgers is a perfect fit for Minnesota, if they can't sign Darnold, word is they would like to groom their youngster another year, no one wants to admit it because we don't want to play against him, or deal with it as we did with Favre.

Or he'll sign up with a contender later when one of em losses there QB, his stats last year proves he can still play

At this point its gotta be the Steelers that make a play for Rodgers right? Theyre too late in the draft to get anyone worth starting now, they dont have the capital to move up. Surely they dont go with Fields.

there to, he'll land somewhere, people act like Rodgers was the cancer with the Jets, he was just the latest effect that Woody Johnson has had on that team, Rodgers needs a team with strong structure, a solid plan and coach.

Pittsburgh makes the most sense. Always has which was why I was surprised it looked like they were leaning toward bringing Wilson back. Especially now with the Steelers bringing in Metcalf. Just doesn't seem like a move you would make with only Fields as your guy.

I think Rodgers can be successful in the right situation. But that includes Aaron not commanding a ridiculous sum of money and also includes Aaron participating in the offseason activities.

I don't think most people act like that, at all. Rodgers isn't a cancer and he is still a fantastic QB, even at this age. He is just a really horrible General Manager. He will land on his feet somewhere when teams swallow their pride and become desperate for an answer.

your right, most don't, just Labrev and Pckfn APB a little kidding, agree Rodgers needs to give up the GM manship stuff, IMHO he saw a poor staffing situation with the Jets, and tried to improve it, he failed obviously, he needs to just stick with QBacking

your well ahead of me Kemo sobbie, I didn't know Pittsburg was the best place till I read this

I think I speak for all of us that Pittsburg is more preferable than the Vickies, I know I do not relish Raptor returning to Glout if we have another ex QB beat us

I suspect he'll sign with someone later on in the summer to a team that loses their starter. He is really long in the tooth and not somebody a team is gonna build a team around.

MN makes a ton of sense for the Vikings. I would love to have a stop gap QB and not need to commit to Darnold.

But I don't think Aaron wants MN for two reasons:

1. Aaron won't risk the legacy breakdown in GB after watching it with Brett.
2. It's not worth it. MN likley overreached last year and MN is in a brutal division. The upside for team opportunity is lower in MN than PIT.

The biggest obstacle to this happening IMO is Arthur Smith. I think Rodgers and Smith are about as polar opposite in terms of offensive philosophy as two people can get. And I think Tomlin would back Smith were an issue to arise.

I also believe the enthusiasm we're all seeing now over the prospect of Pickens/Metcalf blowing the roof off of opposing defenses will be short lived, very similar to the excitement we all felt for about an hour last year at the prospect of Josh Jacobs pairing with Aaron Jones in the Packer backfield....until they weren't.

I fail to follow, Rodgers was never the one to say no to small ball, and Arthur Smith had Rothlesberger who also audible out of run sets when he saw options for big chunk plays, plus they just drafted a big deep speed receiver
