Packers and Jets PROBABLY already have the trade locked up, but they're just waiting until the 4PM eastern March 15 deadline when all teams have to be under the cap to make it official. PROBABLY.

It's amazing people (not you, but us fans in general), bitch when there is no information, and then we bitch when there is information.

I stand by my comments "FRIGHTENINGLY STUPID."

He should have said, "We would love to have him back starting for us...he is the greatest QB I have ever seen play. But if he wants to explore playing elsehwhere...if that is best for him and OK for the Packers, we would be happy to negotiate a deal that works for everybody"

Go Packers!!!!

I liked Ted Thompson. He spoke but said nothing. I'd have liked Murphy to be more ambiguous here. Maybe slant it in a way that says sure he can be our started, but if he wants to play elsewhere, we will grant him that if price is right. Retirement? Nah, ya never know, but he's still playing at an elite level and is super competitive.

This is more nitpick than anything. Because if negotiations are ongoing, don't give them ammo. Oh so you think he can retire but want our 13th? No, we gonna dance differently now!

Who knows. I sure don't. I'm still feeling retirement is most likely option.

I might be wrong, but I believe negotiations were over before the Packers allowed any other team talk with Rodgers.

As teams have found out the hard way, you lock in the trade price first, before letting teams talk with the player, because if you don't, the other team and player can work together to make any other team hard to impossible and then you're screwed.

But reports have said the Packers and Jets already have an agreed trade value, just had to get Rodgers to agree.

And I'm judging based on substance, he didn't say anything the entire NFL didn't already know... he didn't give up any additional Packers card for teams to see.

He might of given up a personal card of not asking him to make an on the spot announcement as he's not the best at choosing his words on the spot. But that doesn't matter to the trade value.

Yeah I'm with beast here. Murphy didn't say anything out of place.

The entire NFL knows the Packers want to move on from Rodgers. This is self-evident by the fact that they likely have agreed to trade terms already and that they have given Rodgers permission to speak to other teams. You don't start this process if you're not trying to move the guy. There is no putting the toothpaste back into the tube at this point.

Additionally, I think Rodgers would appreciate the honesty if things don't work out with the Jets. The Packers can't pretend like they're not trying to trade him in the press and then do what everyone knows they're doing behind the scenes.

So, then you guys gotta see it how I stated then. If trade terms were agreed upon, why the delay? Unless Aaron is leaning towards retirement more than Jets. Maybe not leaning hard, but what's the hold up? We gonna just say he's a diva who loves attention and dismiss other options?
