I like Aaron, wouldn't want any other QB. But if winning it all is your thing, then money can't be.

The Packers would like to extend quarterback Aaron Rodgers before looming free agents like Kirk Cousins and Drew Brees sign their next deals. Rodgers, who patiently has been waiting for a new contract, is content to wait a little longer. Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports reports that Rodgers wants to wait for Cousins to sign [more]

True. How much money is enough???
You can only spend so much in a lifetime. He’s already made more than all of us could make in our lives COMBINED.
He can take 20 million a year, and allow others that could help us win a super bowl, to get paid too.
But most likely, greed will win out.
I HOPE I’m wrong.

It is unfair of us as fans to expect him to take less.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I don’t feel that way. What are his priorities? To fill a bank, or win another couple championships?
I can hope he is willing to take a little less. After all, didn’t the Packers give him a shot, when the 23 teams in front of the Packers let him slide by? Plus the Packers sticking with him when Favre tried to regain the starting position?
And it’s NOT like I’m asking the guy to take $15 an hour. Isn’t 20 million enough to “squeak by” on???
Like I said, he has enough to live “high on the hog” if he lives too 100 already.
JMO of course. I have no say in it anyway.

It's actually nice of him to wait. As soon as he signs it sets the ceiling for QB money. If he signs now for whatever amount then teams will use that to say to guys like cousins you aren't getting that much.

I'd try something like the Bobby Bonilla contract. Just not as crazy long lol.

10 year $200 million guaranteed. He's guaranteed that money. That'd be a game changer and assures him of nice money for a decade while leaving the cap workable for pulling in new leaders on the field.

So much for modeling his career after Tom Brady...

Even so...how much is enough?
If you can’t like on 100 million in the bank, and 20 mill a year for the next 4 or 5 years, then there’s something wrong with you.
I can see if you are at the very beginning of your career, to get as much as you can, as you don’t know how many seasons you will get to play. But when you have been getting paid mega bucks for 13 years already, and will want for nothing the rest of your life, is money all you care about?
A couple more rings, and a lasting legacy you would THINK would mean SOMETHING at least.
Maybe I’m the only one that thinks that way...I don’t know.

The money being thrown at these quarterbacks is beyond ludicrous!

Fan Shout

Zero2Cool (1h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (3h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (5h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (5h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (6h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (6h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (7h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (18h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (23h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
