Nathaniel Hackett and his coaching staff have deep ties to the 38-year-old quarterback and Paton’s done a good job maintaining significant cap flexibility. The Broncos can afford to sign Aaron Rodgers to a record breaking deal without gutting the roster.

This is sad, and funny.

If Aaron were to tell anyone close to the media, it'd be Pat. And he knows Pat can't keep a secret so he doesn't say shit to him lol

If there's an exception, it'd be him.

Okay. So, what is your point? Because my point still seems to stand pretty strong and yours doesn't seem to be made. At least, according you I'm completely missing it. And if your point is Rodgers was the one who spoke to Mike Silver, I think I already explained how that is unlikely.

But it does mean something when you're a junior who transferred in from JUCO and a Sports Illustrated writer/Cal alum with a national audience wants to talk after the game. Compared to guys like Cowherd, Smith, Bayless etc, Silver had a means of direct, personal access to Rodgers before his pro career ever began. And like I said, Silver has always been staunchly Rodgers during his time in the NFL. It could be improbable but I wouldn't rule it out as impossible.
