Aaron Rodgers on Davante Adams trade

The big take away from here is Aaron saying he thought Davante would stay so he could play with him a few more years. This is a nugget to me because it indicates Rodgers is going to play at least two years.

He also is quick to point out that WR can flourish in 2nd and 3rd rounds. So, while some of you are freaking out because Packers didn't go stupid in round one, Rodgers knows how it goes.

Rodgers says he, Brian, Russ and Matt are in a good spot. Notice who he didn't mention? Yeah, Mark Murphy, the guy I said from the start he has beef with. TAKE NOTE!!

Says offense didn't do their part in playoffs last year

Says he will PUT IN THE TIME to help the WR's.

Says defense wins championships.

Going for Nicholas Cage ConAir look[/list]

Doesn't think there was a Justin Jefferson in this draft

Jameson Williams looks most NFL ready WR

Mistakenly says 2009 last time we had two 1st round picks, it was 2019

Not a lot of hall of fame guys come from first round[/list]

Show Spoiler

Says probably not a lot of teams wanting to trade WR to Green Bay

Picks are usually late, no one wants to trade within Division, or Conference

Davante wanted to move on

Says doesn't make sense to pay someone instead of Davante

Doesn't think San Fran wants to trade Deebo to Green Bay[/list]

Been in talks with Packers all draft

Packers had six WR with round one grade

[*]Rodgers knew Packers were high on Wyatt[/list]

No one that I see here is "freaking out." You wanted "some" to but you can't now pretend it is happening. At least it isn't here.

I actually saw in another thread that I am a horrible human being for praising Gute too much. lol. I guess I'm ok with him not trading up for Olave.😏

What I found interesting about what Aaron said about Davante is this: "He wanted my help in making the move to Las Vegas happen." Obviously Davante made Aaron aware of his desire to be traded to Vegas and asked him to give the front office his approval on the trade happening. Not that the front office needed his approval, but it certainly didn't hurt.

Aaron looked content and happy. Always good to see him enjoying his mansion in Malibu.😏

It's a slight on a weak team who needs a lot giving up cheap good talent for a WR, regardless of who that WR is, it was a mistake. When the Falcons traded all those picks for Julio Jones, I wasn't a fan of that either, but at least they had a good core team. The Saints do not have that.

I'm ok with AR and Murphy not seeing eye to eye. They don't have to interact on a daily basis. If AR and Gute and MLF are working well together - all is well.

Why put it like that? Yes, we know Aaron may retire before the end of the contract, but Aaron has said on several occasions including last nite, that he plans to be around for a "few years."

Mark is so worried about looking like the bad guy if Aaron leaves, that he sticks his foot in his mouth every time the subject is broached.

Meanwhile, Gute, LaFleur, and Aaron are very skilled speakers, and get along splendidly with each other and the fan base. Funny how that works.

Funny thing is people (Media the most) want him to act like a GM when he clearly is not. Most organizations don't get a lot of sound bites from owners or presidents. I don't care if he speaks his mind or not. Life would be easier for him if he politely declined and deferred to Gute.

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : 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.
