Why is Aaron Rodgers Pissed?· Page 8

Maybe if Rodgers did agree to take less money, and said he wanted what he gave up money wise to go after FAs or something like that, I’d say he should have some kind of input in it. But as far as I’ve seen, he hasn’t agreed to take a pay cut. Or is there something I’m missing?
If a super high paid player expects a team to go “all in” to try to win a Super Bowl, how can he expect the team to be able to try to sign high talented FAs if he is eating up such a high amount of the teams salary cap?
They only have so much money to spread around.

I mean based off how the team has operated since he started playing in GB, id be skeptical too. Previous GM drafted gem WRs late rounds but rarely used FA. Current GM drafts a weak QB in the first round while loading up on CBs and no WRs to speak of.

Consider to that the Packers reside in a small market, in fact, smallest in the NFL. This means they can not take big swings and absorb a decade of Lions/Bengals failures that put them in the top 10 of the draft annually. Therefore, the Packers approach is to build a solid core, retain their guys, use cost friendly free agents to plug holes while building primarily via draft.

This approach is successful as illustrated by this tweet below. I assure you, Rodgers is quite aware of this.

Plus, didn’t they just resign Aaron Jones? When I think ALL of us were certain he was gone?
How many high priced FAs have we seen go to other teams and fizzle out, because they were past their prime and not worth the high price they got? We can look at the Packers signing of Jimmy Graham to see a perfect example of that.
You point out that picking Love in the first round was a waste. I bet you said the same thing when over 20 teams passed on Aaron Rodgers in 2005 when GB picked him.
Will Love pan out? No one knows at this point. Just as no one knew Rodgers would light it up last season.
