It’s going to be a circus either way. The “talking heads” most likely already have their stories written.
One if he shows up, one if he doesn’t,
Just waiting to see which one to post, the SECOND they have confirmation of yes or no.
But I agree that he won’t show up. What’s 100 grand to a guy that already threw away 500 grand? It would be equal to me throwing away a penny.
Now, will he not show up for work when it will cost him millions? I have no idea.
I guess only time will tell.
But like you said, Zero. Love can sure use the reps with the REAL WRs. Especially if “Mr. MeFirst” doesn’t show up.
If it truly IS about “the people”, he will show up ready to light it up. That is, if the people are his teammates.
If he doesn’t show up for training camp, then he is screwing over the other players. The mini camp won’t hurt that much if he doesn’t show. But after that? Then he hurts his teammates. The “people” he’s supposedly doing this power play for.
To me, the Packers CAN’T cave into Rodgers. It sets a HORRIBLE precedent.
“Hey! You aren’t happy? Hold the team hostage and you will get what you want!”
JMO of course.
