News: ESPN: QB Aaron Rodgers not at Green Bay Packers OTAs

[Joe Realist]

Exactly.........pretty sure Rodgers asked the same question. Just me, but I think he's done with them. When you consider the presence of Love AND he wants a new deal, this is messy.

Side note: I know the Raiders and Broncos are mentioned as possible landing spots but don't sleep on the WFT. They have all the ammo and I just read that Synder wants a new stadium by 2027. The scary thing is we know they're only a major upgrade at that position from being a serious contender.

If Rogers somehow went to Washington, They would be in the NFC championship for sure

 

[John813]

I love it. Hopefully he sits out if he doesn't get his way

WFT let Kerrigan go and dumped Moses, saving over $10M. Either Li’l Danny is short on cash or something is up. My guess is it is for Desean Watson but it could be for Rodgers or even Wilson if the price is right for compensation.

It would not surprise me at all to see Wilson, Watson or Rogers. ALL three wants out and frankly at least one, maybe two could end up in our division ( WFT AND Eagles ) by 2022.

Aaron is campaigning for the Jeopardy job so he can leave football and still have some income to pay his utility bills.

Watson will be an Eagle or Skin soon. My guess. If WFT don’t add him this year, and Hurts bombs, then Watson will be an Eagle.

Texans may put Watson on paid leave this year. How crazy is that?

I would think many will be very leerly of Watson with the legal issues he is dealing with.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers was not among the group of players who reported to Lambeau Field on Monday for the start of organized team activities, a source told ESPN.

That came as no surprise to the team given that Rodgers did not participate in Phase One, which the Packers held virtually for the previous four weeks, or Phase Two, which was held in person last week.

Phase Three, which includes 10 total days of work spread out over four weeks, began Monday. The first session open to reporters is Tuesday.

The entire offseason program, excluding the June 8-10 mandatory minicamp, is voluntary. However, Rodgers is one of 19 Packers' players with an offseason workout bonus. He already has missed enough to disqualify him from cashing his $500,000 bonus.

It's another sign that nothing has changed in the standoff between the Packers and Rodgers, who has told some in the organization that he does want to play here again after spending the first 16 years of his NFL career in Green Bay.

The Packers have maintained that they have no desire to trade Rodgers and want him to return for "2021 and beyond," as Packers president Mark Murphy put it.

I hope this forces Rodgers into retirement

Fans only care about wins. No way the NFL is getting rid of Watson. Money talks.

Zeke was suspended 6 games and they had little evidence that even the NFL investigator recommended no suspension yet he was suspended. In Watson case there are several woman making these accusation. As for fans they have no say it is what so ever, as for the NFL I don't think they want to get rid of players but players have a way of getting rid of themselvs by doing bonehead things.

I hear you. No way the NFL is throwing their poster child Watson under the bus. No way. Got to shake that moneymaker.

Poster child? lol We are not talking a sitution like an Aldon Smith or many others who have gotten 2nd chances on low end deals on short term contracts. He avg 39 mill a year 3rd highest paid QB, many teams will not risk having the face of their team which is the QB and at that kind of money with a lot of legal issues pending. NFL has not don't anything to Watson, Watson has done this to himself.

Man, he passes up half a million dollars just for working out a few days. Must be nice to be at that position in life.

All about the Wins and $. Watson is one of those man-of-the-year players. Definitely poster child. Players love him. NFL loves him. Slap on the wrist and back to the business of making $.

Watson has the dollars that is about it.

 

[CouchCoach]

I don't like Green Bay. I don't like Rodgers. Rodgers doesn't like Green Bay but just because we have that in common doesn't make me like him.

Russell Wilson doesn't like getting hit.

Deshaun Watson doesn't like massages without happy endings.

But nobody, and I mean nobody, doesn't like Sara Lee.

Sexual Misconduct is not nearly as bad sexual assault (and I do believe he did it). That doesn’t make it okay, but The courts will decide his fate... win lose or settle. He’ll get a suspension based on the result, and then in 2 years time it’ll be little more than a heckle during games about how he gets horny in inappropriate situations.

I see it as this being the mother of all wake up calls, like whatever happened with Roethlisberger and that woman in the bathroom. Watson should be a straight shooter from here on out. I’d take greatness with this baggage over pretty good and squeaky clean.

What he did was bad, but he didn’t beat someone up, he didn’t sell drugs to children, he wasn’t picking up 15 year olds. He misled woman and hit on them when they were in compromised situations. He needs justice but his life shouldn’t be over for this.

And I’ve got a 3 part plan for the Eagles to get him!

WFT is becoming significantly overrated around these parts.
