It's interesting that Rodgers wanted a different HC and the guy they got is really not a fit for what Rodgers does compared to McCarthy.
The best of all time is about to become a Patriot in the near future.
This is the most absurd thing about this. The Packers (i.e. Gutekunst) give Rodgers this big final contract which is structured in a way where it is impossible to move on from him until 2022 without eating a ****ton of deadcap. Whatever that is the cost of business. But if you dish out that contract and decide to be in the Aaron Rodgers business you gotta be ALL IN.
But since giving out that extension Gutekunst almost seems to be hedging and playing the long game.
My interpretation from the numbers on SporTrac is they would have to eat $34.5 million if they traded him, $51.1 million if they cut him. If they waited until June 1, they would be able to have that hit $11.5 million this year and all the rest next year.I believe IF the Packers trade Rodgers the cap hit is not nearly as bad as if they were to release him.

I just don't see any movement of Rodgers this offseason.
I don't like the move either, but I also think they were an overrated 13-3 team that has little to no chance of getting to that record again this year. It's not like drafting a WR in the 1st round would put them over the top.
Maybe. But it is sort of hard to ignore that they traded up to get Love (who seems to have quite a few question marks about his ability to be a good / great NFL QB). It's not the same situation as with Favre / Rodgers in 2005. Rodgers was regarded as a possible #1 pick and he fell all the way to where the Packers were sitting at #24.I feel like this wouldn’t be as big a story if he was taken with pick 38 on day 2
If they feel he's going to be great then this is a great move. The Mahomes trade up was ridiculous at the time but no one thinks that now.probably the luckiest team in the nfl last year.
I can’t blame them if they think Love is going to be their future starter for 10 plus years.

Is this a veiled shot at Kraft? Who cares if GB has had almost 30 years of winning records. They only have TWO rings to show for it whereas the impetuous owner of NE has SIX in 20 years with NINE appearances and ONE QB. The only thing GB has been really good at is wasting elite QB talent year after year.GB.....28 years lead by two superstar QBs....
and it appears GB is attempting to find the next 15 year starter
The franchise values continuity and stability more than anything else. No surprise when a team is run by committee instead of an impetuous owner.
GB has had only 4 losing seasons during this 28 year span, same as NE.
Having the right QB is everything in this league and GB attempting to repeat history a third time
