Despite Rodgers' comments, don't get your hopes up Packers fans. The normally tight-fisted Thompson isn't likely to change his outlook when it comes to free agency, despite the frustrations emanating out of Green Bay -- both inside and outside the locker room.

Nice to see a piece that promotes the view of someone who gets it

Aaron Rodgers got right to the point and I agree with him. Thanks for sharing the article.

Aaron Rodgers isn't LeBron James unfortunately.

You could see his frustration, every time he entered the field the defense had just given up a TD.

Well the cap should be favorable. Supposedly going to low 160 million range this year. Shields will free up 9 million, we won't be paying julius 8 mil...

Yeah, but a number of FAs too... Perry, Lang, Cook, Lacy, Tretter, Goode and more...

We could live without signing a single one of the above. Guion can play G. 😁 Honestly, if all those guys were gone it wouldn't matter that much to me. Cook would be the one I would want to keep above all others. Lang might be a reasonable deal due to his injury. It may have been a huge blessing having him hurt. Same for Tretter and Bulaga who is duct taped at this point. Same goes for Eddie and Goode is a vet min deal anyway. Perry is a question mark. Hurt all the time or playing not fully healthy. Hard to pay a guy who is like him but we have nobody else. Fackrell looks like Todd Pinkston for crying out loud. Gain some weight, buddy.

The money will be there. Jordy will be gone soon...there's money to save from him, too. Randall ain't worth 10 mil. Restructure him down. We should have a pile to do things but I'll bet a team like Dallas makes the moves we won't. They're hungry here to fix their D. Stephen Jones is going to attempt to do it. I wish Ted Thompson would come out and boldly claim ANYTHING. He's just silent. Did he speak today? No. What a pussy. Always a hiding pussy. Not a man at all. Such a disgrace being led by that clown. We have our future first ballot HOF begging for ALL IN. MM begging for help last year. Ted Thompson just says nothing and does next to nothing. Honestly, an utter disgrace of a GM on so many levels. He says of 4-6, 'just the way it goes in NFL'... and that it wasn't "underachieving or anything'...then says our turnaround was an 'astronomical feat'????? Call 4-6 what it was. A disgrace and unacceptable. Nope...just the way it is. Oh, but we start winning and he comments about it being an astronomical feat. Such a weird weird man. I don't want him running my favorite sports franchise. I've hated almost every single minute of him save for the Favre stuff which I loved. He's so weird he actually did that to Brett. Love it. Do something Ted...wake up little susie, wake up. Time is short.
