Most likely scenario, imo, based on the history of these holdout scenarios. What would be somewhat entertaining-and lord we Packers fans could use some entertainment in this-
Our front office announces that the differences appear irreconcilable, so we are going to entertain offers effective June 2nd...Announce it now.
So, while the pressure on our front office will remain high...fire Gute, Murphy, yada yada yada, the pressure from other fan bases shifts to the front offices of other teams to acquire him. The perfect recipe for a bidding war and us getting the most out of this crappy situation. Based on everything I have seen so far, if this wasn't orchestrated by Kaaron God gers and his agent, I would be shocked. GBP needs to play an orchestra of their own by abandoning the incognito behind the scenes negotiation game and go public. Let's let the media help us cut our best deal.
...And an FYI as all weigh the various options The NFL cap for 2022 is projected to be around 200 million. That figure would put us hard against the cap yet again, making an extension of Rodgers extremely tough on options as regards pending free agents. The big cap rise (relief, if you will) doesn't come until 2023, projected "as high as" 230 million.

I personally think Rodgers slept with Gutekunst's wife and said Mario Odyssey sucks. He's playing some dangerous games.

On topic... I'm impressed that everyone manages to come out as an unlikeable d-bag in this situation. Takes some special planning and talent.

I think I'd trade Rodgers after the june deadline if I were in the Packers' shoes. His age doesn't get mentioned enough in this. Or how in any other occupation this'd clearly be labelled as an unworkable situation going forward. Getting (multiple) first(s) for a 37 year old is ridiculous and allows us to build a great supporting cast around a quarterback who's on his rookie contract. It's the ideal situation... If you believe Love will be what you thought he'd be when you drafted him.

If Rodgers isn't gone this season, he'll be gone in 2022... Or 2023 at the latest. Just get some value for him now and set yourself up for a good future.

So we fans are left blowing in the wind, trying to make sense out of what’s going on by the tiny tidbits of information that we hear from the media.
I wish we COULD know the whole truth with this situation. It would make it a lot easier to judge who is being the bigger jerk.
But without that, we are left to trying to figure out a 1000 piece puzzle, while only having 100 pieces.

IF, for example, this is his form of payback for the shit he had to put up with last post-draft from the media, speculators, etc.--he has done so masterfully. Me? At this point, I'm gonna follow the money as regards missing puzzle pieces. If he needs it or not, it is a tangible form of "payback", and we don't know who got that Malibu Beach mansion once he and Danica split, and even if he did get it, maybe his new fiancé won't step foot in it and he has to get a bigger one or something, 1001 puzzle pieces, lol

Rodgers got the Mailibu house or at least, he was there recently based on his comments and AJ Hawks comments.

I really do wish people would leave his dating life out of the speculation. This isn't direct at you dfosterf. This is a general statement over what I've observed. It's absolutely deplorable to do -- in my opinion. I've read so many comments bashing Olivia Munn, Danica Pactrick and Shailene Woodley. It makes me sick, absolutely disgusted how pathetically weak minded people can be.

Is there an authoritarian figure in Rodgers life he hasn't rebelled against and brought confrontation to a head?

-His parents/family
-Ted Thompson (eventually he helped force out)
-McCarthy (same)
-Favre (initially)
-LaFleur (season 1 they butt heads often, partly leading to Love pick imo)
-Gute

Analysing how his previous fights have gone I don't think Rodgers has the capacity to forgive, so I'm thinking this won't go away or be resolved without Gute being fired. Rodgers isn't worth all this headache, if he doesn't report to camp fine him everyday and if he retires force him to pay back every dollar they can extract. If a team in the AFC throws down a big offer trade him, either way I'd be done with this clown.
