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.

Zero2Cool (4h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (7h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (7h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (9h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (9h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (9h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (9h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (9h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (9h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (9h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (9h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (9h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (9h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (9h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (9h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (10h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (11h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (11h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (11h) : 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.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
