I'm gonna punt out a bunch of options. Some are absurdly unlikely.

Option A → Aaron Rodgers traded to Jets.
Option B → Aaron Rodgers retires and does not unretire.
Option C → Aaron Rodgers stays with Packers and retires after 2023 season and another one and done playoff exit.
Option D → Aaron Rodgers stays with Packers and wants to mentor starter Jordan Love and then retires after 2023 season.
Option E → Aaron Rodgers retires only to unretire post-June 1st and then requests Packers to trade him.

I was leaning towards B as this played out longer and longer. If it's true that Rodgers is talking to guys and getting them to join Jets, I have to say A is the (duh) option.

The one that really interests me is D. Rodgers has talked about how it's important to help the younger generation. This would be the ultimate step in doing just that and also stark contrast to what Favre did "for" him. Massively unlikely a super competitive person would ever do this -- but the thought (fairytale as it may be) is pretty intriguing. The headlines would be freaking incredibly entertaining.

E is something I could see happening as 3rd likely. He would be retired throughout OTA's and minicamp. And not that he'd give a damn, but I believe it might help the Packers salary wise too. 

I could actually make an argument for each option. And each one of them being done so on amicable terms.

I suppose this can go elsewhere but its funny and this is the first thread I found that it will sorta work.

I have been in the "C" camp for a long time. The way everything is dragging out I moved to the "A" camp. There are financial benefits to making the trade after March 15. Add to that I don't see the Jets looking at other QBs. If they didn't know something they would have packed up and moved on.

if we had such a thing, you might.of just won post of the day with that post.

Mr. Cool said True, but what a way to go out...get all your guys great deals without screwing over your current team, then just walk away...

I know, its unlikely...but what an exit

I'm seeing rumors on twitter that Rodgers met with the Patriots in Colorado Springs today. Not sure if this is credible.

I would rather see him go to the Patriots than the Jets. It would be neat to see him win a Super Bowl with Belichick.

---

They would need Packers permission to talk with him, so this is doubtful, and I'm mainly found this on Bills fan websites.

Though it would be funny if the Packers threaten to give the Patriots permission just to speed it up lol

But here is picture proof 😋 jk


Note: Someone in the comments (if you can believe them) say they're in that area, and the mountains in the background have been covered in snow for a while, suggesting the picture isn't actually recent.

And my favorite is someone said, False, Bill Belichick doesn't get on a plane for no one lol

But sounded like Patriots have some cap space, and could use some WRs and other weapons that Rodgers is bringing along.

Yeah that's the tweet that I saw, there's a few others but they're probably just parroting this one.

As to the snow, I live in Denver and it was 65 today. There's snow on the peaks of the Rockies, which you can't see from this photo. Those are the nearby foothills. Colorado Springs is an hour south of us and generally warmer with less snow. We haven't had much snow in the last month so the majority of it has melted by now. We tend to get a decent amount of snow, but we go through cycles where it warms up for a few days and melts. We have a 2sq foot patch of snow in the back yard that never gets any sun, but that's it. I can see snow on the mountain peaks from my front yard though.

Here's a photo I took in Colorado Springs (Garden of the Gods) in Janurary. We had a lot more snow then. Pikes Peak has snow on it much of the year but isn't visible in shot at the airport.

One thing that people may not realize about living in the front range is that if you're close to the foothills, you can't see the peaks of the Rockies very well (or at all). In Denver the further west you live (out into Lakewood and Golden), the worse the views get. Until you get far enough west that you're above the foothills and get some good views again. Co Springs is closer to the foothills than Denver, though Pikes Peak is massive and looms over the city with views from almost anywhere you happen to be.

Not that any of this proves the photo is real, it could have been taken 10 years ago for all I know. Anyway, it's gonna be 68 tomorrow - good weather for doing some yard work. Thursday it will be 34 with snow - typically Denver weather patterns.

I would love it if he went to New England. And the comparisons of what Brady did there versus what Rodgers will do there would be absolutely fascinating.
