You don’t think if they had Rodgers, It would be a good possibility?WFT is becoming significantly overrated around these parts.

Aaron Rodgers will run onto the practice field June 8th complete a 25 yard out from the opposite hash....all will be forgottenGREEN 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.

The media keeps acting like Rogers has a play here. The packers have him locked up for three years and have him dead to rights. They could tell him to play or retire. Call his bluff. The GM runs the team not Rogers.

WFT has been moving contracts and freeing up cap lately.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.
What the hell does that even mean, the culture? What's the philosophy in GB?

This is a guy that is supposedly estranged from his entire family, who does that? Why does he want to get back to the west coast? He and his girlfriend at the time, Danica Patrick, drop 25M on a Malibu pad and then call it splits?
I wish he would hang it up, I am sick of the posing and closeups of him in games. Do these people really need these closeups? The Fox cameraman has a love affair going with Rodgers' face like Madden had with Favre's name. I created a drinking game with Madden and Favre's name and after one late Sunday game, we were all in rehab.
And if Rodgers says “trade me by week 1 or I’m going to formally retire and pursue other ventures”?
You let him retire, throw away multiple 1st round picks and become a cautionary tale of how to handle disgruntled players
If Rodgers were to retire, he would lose $44M. He isn’t retiring. Easy to call his bluff. Jeopardy don’t pay 44 large. GB owns him for 3 years. Rodgers signed the contract.
Don’t play and lose $44M. GB still has your rights. Same thing next year. Rinse and repeat.
And how much does GB lose if their franchise player isnt around Anymore. 44m$ seems like a lot but it’s value is determined by a guy worth hundreds of millions. If he hates it in GB he doesn’t need the money
