NFL News 49ers Tried to Acquire Rodgers...?

[Hammer of Thor]

Pats weren’t willing to give long term discount deal to age 40+ GOAT. Having a hard time believing they’d give an undiscounted (no discount doublecheck....) long term contract to a not-as-good (but still darn good) 37 year old player in addition to giving up the farm in draft capital. We’ll see though.

There’s a rumor on sports radio right now that he’s going to retire from football altogether and host Jeopardy. What... the... ****.

Is this Rumor from dale arnold?

 

[jah]

after the way last season ended, Im sure BB could convinced to let him wear 12...

i mean, its not like BB can hold a grudge, right eric mangini?

Why would BB be mad that Brady won a Super Bowl against an extremely hateable Chiefs team? He was the one who chose not to allocate money to bring him back. If there's any bitterness, I'd expect it to be from Brady.

why would Brady be bitter? The Patriots gave him everything he wanted, and he walked away, onto a stacked team

i should have added the /sh for sarcastic humor

I think it's pretty clear that BB undervalued Brady in the last years, and he's now stuck in QB hell. So I don't know that anything's off the table at this point. I think it's all a matter of whether BB is still being unreasonable about the position.

I want no part of Rodgers. Can't stand his diva attitude and "stats first" on the field. Him and Bill would literally be oil and water not to mention he would command the moon and then pout when Bill drafts a young QB high.

he has made it know publicly that he wants to be the next perminant host of Jeopardy. Has it all planned out even with playing football.

Rodgers is such a big baby. If he would take a little less they could get some players around him. Now he wants out today on draft night.

 

[Lagaffe_07]

I don’t want a QB that care more about hosting jeopardy than winning SBs.

 

[lancerman]

I applaud Aaron Rodgers for having the courage to humiliate his team on the biggest day of the offseason

Cross New England off his potential wish list if this is true:

 

[Kontradiction]

Packers forums are a must read right now.

 

[XLIX]

I've said it before, and I will say a modified version of it again:

It is tough to determine Rodgers' best fit without knowing his priorities. Does he really want to do Jeopardy? Or would he rather compete for a Super Bowl ring?

 

[Brick27]

Brady is ruthless. Sending Brees to the pasture, now nudging Rodgers a step closer to trivia games over football games. Savage.

 

[Ross12]

This simultaneously feels like SF has absolutely no idea what they're doing and traded way up with no real plan, and also that GB has some serious issues... They can technically trade Rodgers but the dead money is monstrous. But they've got Jordan Love already so... I guess it's possible?

Out of conference, west coast?

Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock must be salivating about now.....

Does anyone on the east coast realize that Denver is 1,000 miles from the west coast?

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

you're kidding me, right?

As much as he comes off a a d-bag, its evident Rodgers puts in the work, and works hard at his kraft ...

Seems like a pretty low bar for a guy making $40M per year.

Would Rodgers want to compete with mahomey in the conference?
