Like I said, it’s the GMs job to do what he feels is best fit the team. That’s what he’s paid to do. That’s his JOB.
Rodgers job is to lead the teams offense on the field. He’s not the GM, or the head coach.
If he does play this season for the Packers, they are going to have to special order a size XXXXL helmet for him.
And a dump truck to carry his ego in.

Raise your hand if you like your boss.

Rodgers is NOT the boss.
So he should just worry about his own responsibilities.
Does he think if he goes somewhere else they will just let him run the whole show?
If a team does that, they are idiots. And most likely will fail.

Frankly, I think these reports are total bullshit. Remember he was minutes away from being traded to Denver… Right?
The guy is working out with his teammates (note the virtual reality thing with he and Bakhtiari) and is attending the Kentucky Derby with teammates.
Now, having said that, if they could make a Herschel Walker type deal and fleece somebody with a bunch of good players and draft choices, that would be fine with me.
The reason it would be fine with me it’s not that I don’t think Rodgers is fantastic, but I think this team needs quite a bit to reach the Super Bowl.
Brady went to a team loaded with talent...so much so that he could throw three interceptions in a NFC championship game and still come out a winner.
12 doesn’t have that luxury. He needs to play near perfect or we lose.

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst on Yahoo report that Aaron Rodgers wants him fired: “Aaron hasn’t said anything like that to me ... I think that’s a little unfair to put that on him ... Nothing’s been communicated directly to me.”

The report I believe the most one the one that was claimed to be from someone Rodgers camp, that Rodgers wanted to lock up his contract and secure that he's with the Packers for either it was two years or the remaining of his current contract and the Packers declined that and that's why he's upset.

I believe that because to me, that means he's probably asking for a no-trade clause to be placed into his contract so he can refuse any trade. Which makes perfect sense that he'd WANT that. And he might also want a no franchise tag as well and then either agree to any trade or he decides where he plays.

I think Rodgers is just frustrated/pissed-off that he doesn't have any control of the "beautiful mystery" of where he's going... and that "beautiful mystery" is actually his freaking worst nightmare because it's eating up on the inside.... because he wants control .......... and maybe to a certain degree he's a control freak... he wouldn't be the first three time MVP QB that was (*looking at Peyton*)

Reading that quote from Gutekunst, doesn't that come off like if Aaron wants me gone, he should man up and tell me to my face, tell me directly and not be a little coward!!

I am willing to wager (1) zero 2 cool Chinese connection acquired number 10 gbp jersey that whoever Rodgers plays for this year will be looking at a contract that pays him a Mahomes like figure (plus about 1 dollar or so) going into this season. There will be no talk of Gute firing during the announcement.

If it’s about the money..,,.if I was getting paid 30 million dollars a year and someone else was getting 35, I would be smiling all the way to the bank! I wouldn’t be whining about it.

How much money can you spend in a lifetime?
If it’s about SB rings, Rodgers would be an idiot to leave here. This team is his best shot.
He had his shot this past season, and blew it. Our D gave him the ball several times in the 4th quarter, and he didn’t get it done. That’s on his shoulders.
If you want to be paid and treated like the GOAT, then you better back it up on the field. And in the playoffs, when it really counts, he hasn’t got it done except in 2010.
JMO of course.

As someone who listens and reads everything Aaron Rodgers. I can confidently say -- this is not about money. If there are ten things this is about, money is 11, maybe 10.

I'm sure every employee of every company would like to control their bosses. I think Rodgers is too big for his britches. The Packers can't allow him or any other employee control what they do.
I wonder what his teammates think? If they see him getting his way, do you not think they will try the power play too?
Honestly, I wish this would just end either way.

beast (8h) : Seems like he was just pissed because he was no longer the starter

beast (8h) : Campbell is right, he's rich and he doesn't have to explain sh!t... but that attitude gives teams reasons to never sign him again.
