After the 2007 season concluded, Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy knew Brett Favre was going to return. After giving Brett a little space, they pressured him into making a decision. They were confident they knew he'd be their QB and likely didn't want the "will he or won't he" drama. Problem is that after the season is over, many athletes are sore, exhausted and retirement looks enticing. When Brett said he'd retire, this came as a shock to both Ted and Mike. 

Brett has said it was the first time they weren't saying things like Brett we love you, we want you back and since that wasn't said, Brett assumed it was time to hang it up. In other words, all parties failed to communicate efficiently.

Are the Packers doing a similar thing with Aaron Rodgers? 

Rodgers has twice said the decision about him returning need to be "mutual", yet, said no one has said the Packers didn't want him back. Aaron did say it "just a feeling". Brian Gutekunst today said the Packers made a huge commitment to Aaron last year with the contract and it wasn't just for 2022. 

We all saw the passionate speeches from Matt LaFleur about him wanting Rodgers back and how he got teary eyed and stuff. 

We all also know that Rodgers is hyper sensitive so does he need Brian and Matt knocking his door down saying we love you, come back Aaron? 

I know I'm now laying this out too well, my apologies, but all of that Favre stuff is still fresh on my head and my goodness there are a lot of similarities here.

I find it difficult to believe team has no "out" in that contract. 

Even so, I believe they do have some sort of a deal in place.

Then again, Gutekunst did say last week they made a commitment to Aaron Rodgers and it was a commitment beyond 2022.  Sounds like they got the feeling Rodgers would play at least 2 more seasons. If he retires after one season into that contract, I think that really screws the Packers plans up.

I’m pretty sure retiring after 2023 would be worse for the Packers than if he retires now. At least according to some podcasts I’ve listened to.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
