Sorry? About what? Top priority is ensuring your franchise QB is taken care of contractually, not worrying about Davante Adams and Corey Linsley.
Stafford, Carr, Luck, Brees, and JOE FLACCO are set to make more money than Aaron Rodgers next season. Aaron is the 6th highest paid in the league. You think he and his agent(s) aren't aware of this?
What the org wants is just one side of the equation... Yes, the org can do exactly what you posted. That doesn't mean Aaron is going to play along. This could become highly contentious and untenable. We've already read and seen MM's reaction to what is going on at 1265 and it is far from positive. If MM is going to leave over feeling we aren't trying to win, what do you think the guy who wants to win most on this roster is going to do? Take it lying down? 12 has taken some veiled shots in the past at the org.
I think if MM is willing to walk over Ball getting the GM for the idea we're not about winning, you can't dismiss Aaron Rodgers not wanting to be here out of hand.
There is a problem at 1265. There are those who apparently want to go for winning SuperBowls and there are those who want status quo about it continuing to be about financial stability.
My hope is if those who are about financial stability get their way it blows up in their faces, MM and 12 leave and this team goes back to the 80's bankrupting the newly built district, and a steady diet of noon games hosted by the bottom of the barrel broadcast teams and more.
It's not been about winning in Green Bay for a long long time. It's been about financial stability and don't think Aaron isn't aware his window is closing especially after another wasted year due to injury. His clock is ticking loudly and to hitch your wagon to a loser who doesn't want to win isn't something he's going to sign up for.
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
