I am really surprised there is not more discussion/conjecture on this point. We just traded a HOF QB because the staff, the front office, and most important Nerdmann are all in on Love.
This is not true. He's an active player, thus, cannot be Hall of Fame. This stupidity needs to stop. (personal pet peeve) As for the Packers being all in on Jordan Love as why Aaron Rodgers was traded. False. Rodgers wanted to leave because he wanted control over where he finishes his career.
or we throw out the 🗑 🚮 coaching staff. If our defense and special teams sucked last season then I believe it wasn't Rodgers that was washed. We were much worse than what our record showed simply because we played the bears 2 times. Lol

After being told all offseason that "Hey Jordan, you're our guy".
Now
But were not quite sure we want to pay you.

Exactly. His statement is sending a terrible message to Love and the rest of the team.
And the whole idea that this is part of negotiations is total BS. Their negotiations should happen behind closed doors, not at the podium.
Not a good look in my opinion.

And why is it we cannot fathom that the Packers are in communication with Jordan Love and his agent behind the scenes trying to work out a deal, or an understanding?
I thought so many were eager to let Aaron Rodgers go. Now it's like pitch forks at front office, we gonna suck, dark ages are coming. Swear, this fan base just wants to fucking bitch about anything and everything.
