Right now I am waiting to see what happens on June 1 and 2. That's the date Packers will free up cap space if they decide to trade a player currently on the team.

Just saying. The Packers not having ARod's back is a croc. Thirty QB's out there would have given their right nut to play behind what GB has given Rodgers.
