He more or less admitted to having no other options.

Aaron Rodgers Possibly Being Gay Isn't A Joke

If you look at WHY people are saying Aaron Rodgers is gay, you will find something quite interesting.

Rodgers says he is not gay. But this comes from a guy who said he was "immunized" vs. Covid. Early indications are he'll be back with the Pack next season yet he's building a new home in Nashville. Seemingly a man of contradictions, that Aaron.

Dude is a man of his conviction. When he said no rings of ANY kind he meant it.

Well Tom & Edelman bromance seems to be over but the Gronk "relationship" is still hot.
Tampa TV had weekly segments of Tom & Gronk sitting in beach chairs trying to guess each others responses to favs, questions.
They seemed very, eh close.

Speculation: Could Gisele's insistence Tommy Boy finally leave football be her attempt to break up a very close bromance?
Inquiring minds want to know!

So AB just wanted the ball, that's what it was all about.

That cost them the Super Bowl. He'll never play another down in the NFL again.

 

[VectorPrime]

Well this would explain some stuff

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

I can believe that this was true. BB used to sit with Tom and together they would review the week's plans.
Tom would not respect a slacker HC. Lost faith in the regiem's ability to field a game winning, playoffs winning TEAM.

Same source and this I can totally believe:

The more it sets in about Brady retiring, and with the team likely knowing he had 1-2 years left, the more it makes me think they absolutely failed. They have all their draft picks…whoop dee doo. It’s over for them. 17 years of missing the playoffs, and now they’ll be back to being an afterthought.

Pierre-Paul was a shell of himself this year. Miller was available. Their secondary was trash. Gilmore was available. There were probably a lot more players available too. And if players weren't publicly available and being dangled over the place, they certainly could have made their own rain.

Wouldn't that be more distracting? I can totally see her being more of a distraction on Twitter sitting at home lmao

They didn't have any cap space after re-signing back all their free agents. Sherman signed for vet minimum. Gilmore only started 3 games and was injured and out in Wk 17. He wouldn't have helped much. They had JTS for PP but for some reason didn't use him. Not sure anyone saw Miller being traded.

It was just a year full of injuries like happened to Tom in NE. The AB fiasco also came out of LF to top it all off. It's too bad it played out that way but it is what it is

Rams didn’t take on Von Miller’s salary

Yeah, I guess. But in the end, they have all their draft picks because they didn't trade any of them. Second round pick used on Trask. There's a price for every player, including good players on rookie deals who won't count that much against the cap. I just thought they could have maximized their all-in window better; I had thought Brady was playing a few more years.

But I think the biggest problem is they overrated their own players like Barrett and Smith...I mean, look at how horrible Smith was when exposed without Wirfs and against a tough Rams front. He looked like a practice squad player. $15M each for Smith and Barrett...imagine if they'd thought outside the box a bit and tried for truly elite players there, willing to part with picks if necessary, rather than "keep the band together;" I was pretty vocal from day one that keeping the band together is a dumb approach in the NFL.

Yes, injuries/AB did play a bit role in their loss, but I never thought they ascended to the level of which they were capable all season. They had some injuries, but they simply weren't a dominant team even when mostly healthy. Dominant teams are too good to lose to Washington and the Saints twice.

Ehh.... Way too much we disagree on here, so I'll just point out that the team wasn't healthy for even one game the entire season, and they were still basically one bad defensive play call away from being a coin flip away from ending up as Super Bowl champs.

Injuries did them in. Despite all the injuries they ended 13-4 w/ #2 seed. If Godwin is in playoffs, they're probably in the SB against Cincy.

Kupp is amazing and Stafford played well. Burrow wasted a key down on that last drive by throwing a ball to no one with no pressure on him and ultimately didn't get it done. All that said, game ruined by NFL. It was 4th down for the game and they call the first ticky tac penalty of the game. It's not the same as missing a face mask earlier in the game. Mistakes will happen, but calling penalty at that time is an intentional act. Absolutely rigged SB. The entire season was a fiasco in terms of officials controlling games.

I've always resisted the notion that the NYFL is fixed, but after this season and Brian Flores' revelation I have to say I was wrong. The NYFL has become wrestling.
I'm glad that I'm not a gambler. Those folks probably got robbed somewhere along the way.

It reminded me of the Pats in 03 or 04, when they broke a record for injuries, especially on defense. In both cases they had an offense led by the GOAT at QB. It's too bad that this time he couldn't overcome the poor coaching.
