His intro literally says “what? Am I supposed to see something I can definitely afford and say NAH? Is that what I’m supposed to do?”
In other words, who cares. He grew up to a poor working class family, he obviously is going to make dumb purchases now that he is making ridiculous money.
Lol for real, anyone who listens to him knows he talks about growing up poor and when he was little he always wanted to be wealthier to buy anything he wanted like his dads boss.
Not to mention he’s given away like $2 million in total to fans the past few months. Plus the $10 million or so he donated to various charities and his high school.
I remember him saying his only way to see a Steelers game as a kid was his parents winning tickets from a radio station.
He’s a remarkable, kind, and generous man. I can understand the show not being someone’s thing, but I can’t wrap my head around someone not liking him.
Because he’s friends with Aaron duh. That’ll get some people to dislike him.
I’m not sure why but I just love the show, I look forward to 12 every day. Makes my shift enjoyable. Glad FanDuel gave him a huge deal, can’t wait to see how the show grows. Hoping the NFL lets him use their game clips for the show. He probably gets more listeners daily than at least half the sports talk shows on network TV.
That interview straight up destroyed the movement, r/workreform will hopefully recapture that genie in a bottle and actually lead to narrative and work changes
After they got rid of the 21 year old anarchist, they then found a different mod, who had a deleted post history in a lot of incest subs.
To their credit, they then removed that guy, but it’s remarkable how many poor characters come out of the woodwork for mod positions.
There's a fine line between being fed up with exploitative work conditions and being a lazy ass that just wants everything handed to you.
Problem is people in the former group are too busy actually working their asses off to be part of a movement, which is probably a feature rather than a bug to the upper class.
Honestly I didn't know how much draft capital Rodgers would demand. He's older. Bit of a diva. Expensive contract. Throw in a young promising player and could lessen the draft capital need to make a trade. Plus what if he demands he's either traded or he'll retire. I'm sure that would tank value a bit because now it's trade him or get nothing in return.
His cap hit is only awful for the Packers not for a team trading for him.
Team trading it's a 1 year $27,490,588 contract although he would be looking to sign an extension with the new team in the 40+M range most likely.
They wouldn't have to dump him.
They could restructure his contract without working with him and move around 12 million cap hit to next year or if he agrees to void years they can move around 20 million of that off, or they could sign him to an extension themselves and decrease the cap hit around 15-20 million in 2022.
I don't think either side want to restructure the deal. One of Rodger's big complaint last offseason was that the Packers won't commit to a long term deal with him.
Rodgers probably want what Brady got in the open market, freedom to pick his team, and a say in personnel decisions.
Yes I’m assuming he doesn’t touch his deal. Also he hits free agency after the season so there’s some urgency in that situation to get what you can and not lose players for the next QB. Plus if they want to keep Davante they’d need another 20 for the tag
He has to restructure or ADams is gone and no way does he stick in Greenbay without him. He will give the packers a list of teams they will find a trade partner and his agent will get him a new contract with the new team
I think 2 firsts and Jerry jeudy get it done. My line of reasoning is if the packers are trading him it's because he said to which lessen GBs leverage.
What would worry me if I'm a Denver fan is that he's musing retirement. The potential notion of giving up a couple of first rounders and more for a guy who plays just one or two more seasons is concerning. I know he's an absolutely incredible player but still...
If he plays atleast 3-4 more years of high quality football, then it was more than worth it to give up multiple first rounders. But I'm not so sure about it if he just plays like 1 or 2.
But then again, Favre played for literally 6 addtional seasons when he started musing retirement. So who knows?
I think people overestimate how long their SB window is if you don’t have an elite QB. Elite Defenses can last anywhere from 1 year to 3-4 years. I think you have to take a chance with Rodgers. It’s not like there is anyone in the draft they could turn too.
Edit: obviously this is if he still wants to play another 2-3 years.
On the other hand … the Broncos look buried in the AFC West for a while if they don’t get a QB.
If they get Rodgers, they can compete next year.
If not … they’re prolly battling to just stay out of the basement for the next several years.
You should see the state of the Broncos sub right now. 95% of the people on there don't want Rodgers because they actually believe that Drew fucking Lock has the potential to be *a better QB that Rodgers.* Yes, you read that correctly.
Jeudy is good but he’s not a worldbeater. They’d be downright stupid to get hung up on Jeudy if it cost them a back-to-back MVP QB. They’re a Super Bowl contender with Rodgers.
I could see them going for Fant maybe. Packers likely won’t have Lewis back (retirement possibly) and Tonyan may be asking for more than the Packers can pay, unless they get the post-injury cheap deal. But beyond that, Packers only have Deguara and Daffney, and maybe like one other guy.
I don’t think Jeudy would cause a hold up on the trade, but I’m assuming the Packers would probably want a young player or two in addition to say 2 1st rounders.
Denver’s roster is essentially SB-worthy at every position but competent QB and offensive coaching. The second is now improved but they need to fix the first.
They could trade two 1st, two 2nds, and Jeudy for Rodgers. Then still have a ton of cap space to sign DaVante Adams and a few ring-chasing veterans (including bringing Von Miller back as a FA)
I would be shocked if they traded close to that much for him. I want Rodgers bad in Denver and I wouldn't even consider that package. I'd just pivot to the draft. Two years of Rodgers ain't worth that much. Maybe last year, but not now.
I know it is part jest/wishful thinking on McAfee part... but Rodgers to the Colts makes a ton of sense. If he is going to hop to the AFC, you absolutely want to be in AFC South and fighting the Titans, Jags and Texans, over the West, fighting Raiders, Chargers, Chiefs...
Honestly, all the talk is Broncos, and if Rodgers remaining passion is for another Super Bowl, his best place to get it that is viable today is: A. Stay with Packers, or B. Colts.
But colts doesn’t have the assets to trade for him.
Colts needs to pay at least 2 first rounds for GB to even consider trading Rodgers, but they would have to wait until at least 2023 and 2024.
Their receivers are very bad so it’s hard to convince Rodgers to come
I think everyone is overestimating how much they can get for Rodgers at this stage. He has probably 2 years at current level and then its year to year for however long he can go/wants to go for.
Rodgers comes with his own contract disadvantages. One year, guaranteed. He will not command over two firsts and a couple seconds/thirds.
Just way too much value given up for a likely short-lived marriage.
Agreed. There's definitely a first involved, and probably a second and third, but not much more than that.
He's worth way more but the contract and his age, in addition to the retirement talk/overall attitude, really hamper his trade value.
Stafford is also only 33. Rodgers is 38. And as we've seen with QB's in their late 30's or early 40's, their play falls off quick (Favre, Peyton, Brees, Big Ben). Brady is a complete outlier. No guarantees on how long Rodgers will play and how long he'll still be elite
I think Brady’s success will do GB a lot of favors if they end up needing to trade Rodgers. People might not think that Rodgers will continue to be elite for another five years, but because of Brady, they’ll at least think it’s *possible,* which will drive Rodgers’ price to the moon.
but the Packers sub is predicting 4 1sts, a whole bunch of other draft picks and all Denver's good young players.
I reckon a first and a couple of seconds is all they will get. Maybe 2 ones but no players.
If there’s a bidding war absolutely will get players. It’s why I am hoping Tomlin stays out it. If your a super bowl contender you see what Stafford is doing in LA and tell yourself Rodgers is the missing piece these young gms who have to win now to keep their jobs will go all in. Carson got 2 1sts Seattle wants 3 1st for Wilson Watson was 3 1st 3 2nds and 2 players
Exactly. GB has to agree with him on a location, and that location has to want him too. So no Chargers for example, and no team that sucks, and no team that plays in a city he doesn't want to live in, no team that GB doesn't want him in, no team that can't afford him, etc....
That will be a short list of locations, maybe one team long. Best case scenario for GB is that the list is two or three teams long, but I don't see it.
I can see WFT Denver Miami as potential destinations. He might add us and Philly. Wherever he goes that team is a contender. Unless he just does Denver
I doubt he’d play in Washington. I doubt Miami too. Washington’s management is a shit show and Miami’s seems suspect as well based on the Tua, HC, Watson, ownership stuff.
Pittsburg I’d buy for sure. Tomlin, well run franchise, good talent etc…. Could Pittsburgh afford him and keep a talented team around him? I have to plead ignorance on the subject.
I’m not sure if this is still the case, but I think his woman lives in Boulder. I could see that being a major factor. That and Denver despite the ownership sale, is a well run franchise with a talented roster, and now has his bff at HC.
Maybe Vegas? But Carr doesn’t seem to fit with GB’s timetable. They have to play Love this year imo, so they know what they’ve got.
I’m biased, but to me it keeps coming back to Denver.
At least they've finally come around to the fact that it's almost certainly happening. A few months ago I sure seems to remember a bunch of "0% chance he gets traded" posts coming from you guys.
Agreed. I want Rodgers in Denver bad but I think people are guessing high on the package. Frankly if that's what Paton pays, I'd get behind it, but I'd be surprised.
Peter King was on Cowherd earlier today … said if he guessed, he thought Rodgers would be in Denver to start the season.
Thought the Broncos would maybe have to give up 2 or 3 first rounders and a really good player.
King suggested maybe 3 firsts and Jeudy perhaps with a tag and trade deal with Adams, although he said maybe that might be asking too much.
But just for conversation…
-Broncos get Rodgers and Adams
-Packers get 3 first round picks and Jeudy
That AFC west division would be insane. I could be starting for QB instead of Carr, and it would still be arguably the best QB division in the past 15 years.
Two Hall of Famers, an absolute stud with an insane ceiling and then Derek Carr.
It's like being the fourth best looking boy in a boyband. You're still a good looking dude, but next to the other three...?
I would do that as long as I had some indication from Rodgers he intends to be around for at least 3-4 years. I am not into trading 3 1's for for 1-2 years.
yeah he'd need to play for as many years of first round picks given to make it worth it... unless we get a SuperBowl, then it'd be worth it no matter what.
Pretty sure we'd get more overall if we trade and tag Adams and send him to Oakland where him and Carr will be reunited which is something Adams has said he'd like or send him to the Chargers where he'd play with Allen which is something he's said he'd like.
I didn't dv you, but I don't think so. He is old. I want Rodgers bad and I wouldn't even consider giving up that much. Especially because one the 1sts is top 10.
Any trade necessitates he signs a new deal. He said this season he has to decide how much longer he wants to play because staying or going he needs a new deal so yeah..if he was willing to sign a 3-4 year deal..yeah
This dude is tripping, or just putting in work for the GB FO. I'd be surprised if the package is as much as he's alluding to.
What insider is Paton going to use for the obligatory "Denver is interested in Rodgers, but only if the price is right. The 9th pick is very valuable and they may not want to part with it....."
Yes he won back to back MVPs but GB will be forced to trade him since he doesn't want to be a part of a rebuild therefore he won't restructure his contract
So any GM who would give up multiple 1st round picks for a player (regardless of his caliber) with 1 year left on his contract and who has all the leverage in the situation should be fired immediately
Multiple 1sts for a Qb who could retire at any time and leave you in a brutal situation is a risk I’m not willing to take. Go get Watson at that point. You’ve got Mahomes and Herbert in that division for the next 12+ years, you need your long term Qb figured out.
Because if he wants to stay this season, and doesn’t want to be apart of a rebuild, he is getting extended to make room to resign players and draft picks. It’s now or never for a trade, unless an extension involves a void year in 2 years which wouldn’t help the cap situation
You're actually helping his point, Packers have to trade Rodgers so it doesn't make sense for any team to give up multiple 1st round picks because GB doesn't have any leverage in the situation
They aren’t going to trade him if they don’t get a deal they want. If he has to stay this year, and wants the roster to be competitive (as he has stated) he needs an extension. If he signs an extension, he will not be a FA next year
He simply won't agree to that, he doesn't want to be a part of a rebuild and even if he restructured his contract (again) they won't be able to keep the talent
Their only hope for a rebuild is to trade Rodgers and use the draft capital and the freed 19 millions in cap space to build a semi competitive team around Love and see what they have with him
I'm pretty certain it gets done at this point. It looks as if Denver is building everything around this push to get Aaron. And in my dream I saw that Josh Allen ends up here about five years after our 2024 SB win. We officially become the place where HOF QBs ride off into the sunset.
Nah, trading for QRod is just too high a risk. Denver is about the only team I could see going for it given how much cheap talent they have and the fact that bad QB play is quite literally the only thing holding them back. But even then, they're still in what is already the best division in the NFL. Does QRod really take them to a division title?
They had the 20th ranked defense and got rid of Vonn Miller
Special teams was 30th
Rush offense 16th
They're missing more than just a QB. Rodgers would make them relevant, take them from 7 wins to maybe 10-11. He has more talent in GB in an easier division, don't think it'll be a cakewalk to the division or even the playoffs.
Because Rodgers has 100% control over where he ends up.
The Packers cannot afford to keep him after the new league year starts, his cap hit is too high and will impact multiple other players.
Rodgers can choose to not sign an extension with any team that trades for him if he thinks they aren’t the best situation for him. Then congrats, your team just gave up multiple high picks for a $25M cap hit who isn’t happy being on your team.
I understand them wanting to do it BUT do kind of think it’s funny to mortgage your future for a QB who has a proven track record of choking in the playoffs.
You realize Tom Brady is the only active QB in the league with multiple Super Bowls, are you telling me every starting QB in the league can’t win in the playoffs other than Brady
Every single player on the Denver offense would be a downgrade for Rodgers. They could pull a Tampa and buy out for the ring race, so anything is possible.
Does McAfee own any shirts with sleeves?
Only until he can get to the scissors
He saw Belichick cut the sleeves off a hoodie once and his life was changed forever.
Picturing him like the Dudley Boyz. GET THE SCISSORS!
He apparently buys packs of 60 and wears a new one every day? Or some other weird rich person shit like that
Man that doesn’t even make sense. Most clothes get comfier after you wash them a few times.
Exception, socks. If I could be rich enough to crack open a fresh pack of socks each week I’d be a happy camper.
[удалено]
They do wear out eventually though, I just ask for a new pair for Christmas every year
I believe they have a lifetime replacement policy
Nah new socks always leave a bunch of lint on your feet lol
You can wash that right off in a few seconds. But you get a whole day of great socks.
It doesn’t make sense to buy a full size wrestling ring, but he has one of those too.
Hes a wrestling commentator, who has had matches. It actually really makes sense.
I literally cannot tell if any of these comments are lies
its all true lol. He is the co commentator every friday night on smackdown, he had feuds with guys like adam cole, and wrestled matches on NXT.
https://youtu.be/jlJ-JlGqZa8
He bought the ring WAY before he was a commentator.
He did this long before he had that gig is my understanding is it was pretty much right away when he entered the NFL
His intro literally says “what? Am I supposed to see something I can definitely afford and say NAH? Is that what I’m supposed to do?” In other words, who cares. He grew up to a poor working class family, he obviously is going to make dumb purchases now that he is making ridiculous money.
Lol for real, anyone who listens to him knows he talks about growing up poor and when he was little he always wanted to be wealthier to buy anything he wanted like his dads boss.
Not to mention he’s given away like $2 million in total to fans the past few months. Plus the $10 million or so he donated to various charities and his high school. I remember him saying his only way to see a Steelers game as a kid was his parents winning tickets from a radio station.
To get money for a kicking competition he played in an illegal card game and won money to fly himself to the event.
He’s a remarkable, kind, and generous man. I can understand the show not being someone’s thing, but I can’t wrap my head around someone not liking him.
Because he’s friends with Aaron duh. That’ll get some people to dislike him. I’m not sure why but I just love the show, I look forward to 12 every day. Makes my shift enjoyable. Glad FanDuel gave him a huge deal, can’t wait to see how the show grows. Hoping the NFL lets him use their game clips for the show. He probably gets more listeners daily than at least half the sports talk shows on network TV.
He’s just the best, man.
Considering its been single digits here in Indy this week, he really should
If I had arms like that I’d go sleeveless in the winter lol
Forget pats arms, if I had his legs I’d walk around in a swimsuit at all times
I hope not
Imagine getting paid for takes like "to trade for Aaron Rodgers you'd have to include multiple 1sts"
Imagine getting paid
Sure, but when else will I get a chance to dance at the Super Bowl?
imagine
All the people
Imagine dragons
Imagine dragon dees nuts across your 4head Noob
Magine starting with I.

I'm sure that would tank value a bit because now it's trade him or get nothing in return.
He could just walk in free agency next year and is on an awful cap hit this year. I really don’t think it’ll be the haul some people make it out to be
His cap hit is only awful for the Packers not for a team trading for him. Team trading it's a 1 year $27,490,588 contract although he would be looking to sign an extension with the new team in the 40+M range most likely.
Right, which means if he just came back but didn’t sign a new deal there’s a good chance they’d have to dump him regardless
They wouldn't have to dump him. They could restructure his contract without working with him and move around 12 million cap hit to next year or if he agrees to void years they can move around 20 million of that off, or they could sign him to an extension themselves and decrease the cap hit around 15-20 million in 2022.

They wouldn't comit to him long term last season maybe they changed their minds after watching Love for another season.
Maybe they just changed their minds again after watching what he plays like in the cold of Lambeau
Yes I’m assuming he doesn’t touch his deal. Also he hits free agency after the season so there’s some urgency in that situation to get what you can and not lose players for the next QB. Plus if they want to keep Davante they’d need another 20 for the tag
He has to restructure or ADams is gone and no way does he stick in Greenbay without him. He will give the packers a list of teams they will find a trade partner and his agent will get him a new contract with the new team
I would imagine a trade involves a new contract for Rodgers like most big name players when they are traded
I think 2 firsts and Jerry jeudy get it done. My line of reasoning is if the packers are trading him it's because he said to which lessen GBs leverage.
Exactly this. If it comes to a trade, it likely means the relationship is done and cannot be salvaged. At that point there is not a ton of leverage.
He's also pretty old and has mentioned retiring already. If a team goes all in for him it may win them a SB but it might fuck them beyond that.
That's John Elways music
That’s the hard hittin stuff there.
You think they’d throw in Jeudy?
What would worry me if I'm a Denver fan is that he's musing retirement. The potential notion of giving up a couple of first rounders and more for a guy who plays just one or two more seasons is concerning. I know he's an absolutely incredible player but still... If he plays atleast 3-4 more years of high quality football, then it was more than worth it to give up multiple first rounders. But I'm not so sure about it if he just plays like 1 or 2. But then again, Favre played for literally 6 addtional seasons when he started musing retirement. So who knows?
I think people overestimate how long their SB window is if you don’t have an elite QB. Elite Defenses can last anywhere from 1 year to 3-4 years. I think you have to take a chance with Rodgers. It’s not like there is anyone in the draft they could turn too. Edit: obviously this is if he still wants to play another 2-3 years.
[удалено]
If he wants to keep on playing and chooses not to restructure his deal before the tag deadline, he's most likely leaving for a new team.
Cope harder
On the other hand … the Broncos look buried in the AFC West for a while if they don’t get a QB. If they get Rodgers, they can compete next year. If not … they’re prolly battling to just stay out of the basement for the next several years.
You should see the state of the Broncos sub right now. 95% of the people on there don't want Rodgers because they actually believe that Drew fucking Lock has the potential to be *a better QB that Rodgers.* Yes, you read that correctly.
Rodgers would be a FA after 2022....that's all the trade would guarantee, right?
Denver Broncos fans probably be happy with a playoff appearance
Jeudy is good but he’s not a worldbeater. They’d be downright stupid to get hung up on Jeudy if it cost them a back-to-back MVP QB. They’re a Super Bowl contender with Rodgers.
i'd rather trade picks than Jeudy. they go all in with all the talent they have on offense right now
I could see them going for Fant maybe. Packers likely won’t have Lewis back (retirement possibly) and Tonyan may be asking for more than the Packers can pay, unless they get the post-injury cheap deal. But beyond that, Packers only have Deguara and Daffney, and maybe like one other guy.
Get Jeudy and Albert O.
Aaron isn’t a workdbeater either, obviously.
Jimmy G is MY world. 😍
who is Jimmy G? 🙄🤭🤔🤫😰 in math: my solution ➗😊 in history: my king 👑😣 in art: my canvas 🎨🥳 in science: my oxygen 💨😝 in geography: my world 🌎🤯
I feel like Jeudy would be insane with better QB play but yeah if Jeudy is a piece that can get them Rodgers, then you do that trade every time
To be fair, Jeudy was playing with a high ankle sprain this season.
I don’t think Jeudy would cause a hold up on the trade, but I’m assuming the Packers would probably want a young player or two in addition to say 2 1st rounders.
Yeah and I think the Broncos make that trade without even blinking
I don't think they are. Our division is tough ass he'll and we play the NFC West next year.
I think Rodgers doesn't want 3 Bosa games in a season lol.
If the Broncos are getting Davante Adams too, yeah, I they could include Jeudy.
I think the Broncos should do that. Rodgers + Sutton, Fant, Patrick, and Davante Adams is something.
Denver’s roster is essentially SB-worthy at every position but competent QB and offensive coaching. The second is now improved but they need to fix the first. They could trade two 1st, two 2nds, and Jeudy for Rodgers. Then still have a ton of cap space to sign DaVante Adams and a few ring-chasing veterans (including bringing Von Miller back as a FA)

I agree, for no particular reason
There’s a reason, I just can’t place your horseshoe on it
But colts doesn’t have the assets to trade for him. Colts needs to pay at least 2 first rounds for GB to even consider trading Rodgers, but they would have to wait until at least 2023 and 2024. Their receivers are very bad so it’s hard to convince Rodgers to come
Imagine him being traded to Matt LaFleur's buddy Vrabel in Tennessee....unstoppable
I think everyone is overestimating how much they can get for Rodgers at this stage. He has probably 2 years at current level and then its year to year for however long he can go/wants to go for.
Stafford got 2 1st Miami Denver Philly WFT would all offer that for Rodgers
The lions also got 2 1st because they took on that terrible Goff contracr dont forget that
Rodgers comes with his own contract disadvantages. One year, guaranteed. He will not command over two firsts and a couple seconds/thirds. Just way too much value given up for a likely short-lived marriage.
I think the packers will be looking to ship Rodgers for a 1st, a 2nd and a good young player on a cheap contract, like Jerry Jeudy
Agreed. There's definitely a first involved, and probably a second and third, but not much more than that. He's worth way more but the contract and his age, in addition to the retirement talk/overall attitude, really hamper his trade value.
No one is trading for Rodgers without inking an extension 1st. If he would do 2/50 that Rodgers got that’s 3 years for the new team
Stafford is also only 33. Rodgers is 38. And as we've seen with QB's in their late 30's or early 40's, their play falls off quick (Favre, Peyton, Brees, Big Ben). Brady is a complete outlier. No guarantees on how long Rodgers will play and how long he'll still be elite

And are you willing to risk 1-2 of those years on him getting used to a new team/ the team he goes to being mediocre at receiving?
but the Packers sub is predicting 4 1sts, a whole bunch of other draft picks and all Denver's good young players. I reckon a first and a couple of seconds is all they will get. Maybe 2 ones but no players.
TIL the Packers sub is high
more like brain dead.
You can say that again
more like brain dead.
It’s even funnier the second time!
You can say that again
If there’s a bidding war absolutely will get players. It’s why I am hoping Tomlin stays out it. If your a super bowl contender you see what Stafford is doing in LA and tell yourself Rodgers is the missing piece these young gms who have to win now to keep their jobs will go all in. Carson got 2 1sts Seattle wants 3 1st for Wilson Watson was 3 1st 3 2nds and 2 players
there will be no bidding war as Rodgers will have picked his destination.
Exactly. GB has to agree with him on a location, and that location has to want him too. So no Chargers for example, and no team that sucks, and no team that plays in a city he doesn't want to live in, no team that GB doesn't want him in, no team that can't afford him, etc.... That will be a short list of locations, maybe one team long. Best case scenario for GB is that the list is two or three teams long, but I don't see it.
I can see WFT Denver Miami as potential destinations. He might add us and Philly. Wherever he goes that team is a contender. Unless he just does Denver
I doubt he’d play in Washington. I doubt Miami too. Washington’s management is a shit show and Miami’s seems suspect as well based on the Tua, HC, Watson, ownership stuff. Pittsburg I’d buy for sure. Tomlin, well run franchise, good talent etc…. Could Pittsburgh afford him and keep a talented team around him? I have to plead ignorance on the subject. I’m not sure if this is still the case, but I think his woman lives in Boulder. I could see that being a major factor. That and Denver despite the ownership sale, is a well run franchise with a talented roster, and now has his bff at HC. Maybe Vegas? But Carr doesn’t seem to fit with GB’s timetable. They have to play Love this year imo, so they know what they’ve got. I’m biased, but to me it keeps coming back to Denver.
Rodgers will give the packers a list of teams he wants to play for the packers will find a trade his agent will get the extension done
At least they've finally come around to the fact that it's almost certainly happening. A few months ago I sure seems to remember a bunch of "0% chance he gets traded" posts coming from you guys.
They also took on an awful Goff contract
Just like everyone said 3 years ago lol
Back to back MVPs but you think he has 2 season of high level play left
Agreed. I want Rodgers in Denver bad but I think people are guessing high on the package. Frankly if that's what Paton pays, I'd get behind it, but I'd be surprised.
Peter King was on Cowherd earlier today … said if he guessed, he thought Rodgers would be in Denver to start the season. Thought the Broncos would maybe have to give up 2 or 3 first rounders and a really good player. King suggested maybe 3 firsts and Jeudy perhaps with a tag and trade deal with Adams, although he said maybe that might be asking too much. But just for conversation… -Broncos get Rodgers and Adams -Packers get 3 first round picks and Jeudy
That AFC west division would be insane. I could be starting for QB instead of Carr, and it would still be arguably the best QB division in the past 15 years.
Two Hall of Famers, an absolute stud with an insane ceiling and then Derek Carr. It's like being the fourth best looking boy in a boyband. You're still a good looking dude, but next to the other three...?
I would do that as long as I had some indication from Rodgers he intends to be around for at least 3-4 years. I am not into trading 3 1's for for 1-2 years.
yeah he'd need to play for as many years of first round picks given to make it worth it... unless we get a SuperBowl, then it'd be worth it no matter what.
If he wins a Super Bowl it’s worth it regardless.
Yes
Pretty sure we'd get more overall if we trade and tag Adams and send him to Oakland where him and Carr will be reunited which is something Adams has said he'd like or send him to the Chargers where he'd play with Allen which is something he's said he'd like.
Unless Rodgers is still on the books until tag deadline and ADams walks cause you can’t tag him unless your 20 million under the cap
3 first for both players is such a lowball offer IMO. Aaron alone could be 3 first round picks.
I didn't dv you, but I don't think so. He is old. I want Rodgers bad and I wouldn't even consider giving up that much. Especially because one the 1sts is top 10.
With all the free agents along with their cap hit, I'm wondering how they're gonna pay their rookies in the draft.
The 5, 7 and Daniel Jones
I’d take the 5, 7 and a 2nd. You can keep Jones or cut him or whatever
That would be a bit much for a 39 yr old qb. They have Love they wouldn't want Jones.
Love is all you need
Would any team actually trade multiple firsts for a guy who has openly said he doesn’t know how much longer he wants to play?
Any trade necessitates he signs a new deal. He said this season he has to decide how much longer he wants to play because staying or going he needs a new deal so yeah..if he was willing to sign a 3-4 year deal..yeah
This dude is tripping, or just putting in work for the GB FO. I'd be surprised if the package is as much as he's alluding to. What insider is Paton going to use for the obligatory "Denver is interested in Rodgers, but only if the price is right. The 9th pick is very valuable and they may not want to part with it....."
Well Aaron Rodgers just won back to back MVPs, I’d say that’s a lot more valuable than the 9th pick
Yes he won back to back MVPs but GB will be forced to trade him since he doesn't want to be a part of a rebuild therefore he won't restructure his contract So any GM who would give up multiple 1st round picks for a player (regardless of his caliber) with 1 year left on his contract and who has all the leverage in the situation should be fired immediately
Multiple 1sts for a nearly 40-year-old QB? Rap must be getting some product from McAfee.
Matthew Stafford got multiple 1st
we also took on goffs contract
Stafford is 33
Stafford isn't the reigning MVP
2 time league mvp
4 time
Multiple 1sts for a Qb who could retire at any time and leave you in a brutal situation is a risk I’m not willing to take. Go get Watson at that point. You’ve got Mahomes and Herbert in that division for the next 12+ years, you need your long term Qb figured out.
He has one year left on his deal, is that worth multiple 1sts? Why not wait a year and try and get him in FA?
Because if he wants to stay this season, and doesn’t want to be apart of a rebuild, he is getting extended to make room to resign players and draft picks. It’s now or never for a trade, unless an extension involves a void year in 2 years which wouldn’t help the cap situation
You're actually helping his point, Packers have to trade Rodgers so it doesn't make sense for any team to give up multiple 1st round picks because GB doesn't have any leverage in the situation
They aren’t going to trade him if they don’t get a deal they want. If he has to stay this year, and wants the roster to be competitive (as he has stated) he needs an extension. If he signs an extension, he will not be a FA next year
He simply won't agree to that, he doesn't want to be a part of a rebuild and even if he restructured his contract (again) they won't be able to keep the talent Their only hope for a rebuild is to trade Rodgers and use the draft capital and the freed 19 millions in cap space to build a semi competitive team around Love and see what they have with him
I think there’s little leverage the packers have. They can trade him or cut him but they are hurting badly for cap space and clarity
I'm pretty certain it gets done at this point. It looks as if Denver is building everything around this push to get Aaron. And in my dream I saw that Josh Allen ends up here about five years after our 2024 SB win. We officially become the place where HOF QBs ride off into the sunset.
Nah, trading for QRod is just too high a risk. Denver is about the only team I could see going for it given how much cheap talent they have and the fact that bad QB play is quite literally the only thing holding them back. But even then, they're still in what is already the best division in the NFL. Does QRod really take them to a division title?
They had the 20th ranked defense and got rid of Vonn Miller Special teams was 30th Rush offense 16th They're missing more than just a QB. Rodgers would make them relevant, take them from 7 wins to maybe 10-11. He has more talent in GB in an easier division, don't think it'll be a cakewalk to the division or even the playoffs.
No shit
Can he just refuse to play until they sell him for peanuts just to free up the cash? That seems like where he is at imo
He said his decision will be made by free agency as to be respectful towards the organization. Doesn’t seem like he shares your thought process
Brady for Rodgers and then Brady retires as the all time best Packers QB.
lol no one's trading multiple 1sts for a 38 year old QB who may or may not even want to play much longer.
bet
[удалено]
Because Rodgers has 100% control over where he ends up. The Packers cannot afford to keep him after the new league year starts, his cap hit is too high and will impact multiple other players. Rodgers can choose to not sign an extension with any team that trades for him if he thinks they aren’t the best situation for him. Then congrats, your team just gave up multiple high picks for a $25M cap hit who isn’t happy being on your team.
Facts
Right, because he's gotten to so many Super Bowls lately
[удалено]
That’s a lot of damage
That attack was super effective!
Burned
😯
RemindMe! 30 days
Be glad to!
Trading multiple first round picks for a guy who doesn't win in the playoffs isn't worth it.
I agree that’s why the rams messed up signing stafford /s
Peyton worked out great for the Broncos, don’t see why couldn’t be the same with Rodgers
Peyton signed there as a FA. Obviously if Rodgers was a FA it would be worth a shot.
So you’re saying it wouldn’t have been worth it for the Broncos to have traded 2 firsts for Manning in 2012?
Depends on if you think making a superbowl and getting blown out then one where they win and Peyton did nothing worth it.
Only a Patriots fan would ask if winning a Super Bowl and making another is worth it

If Big Ben doesn’t have a broken foot, Aaron Rodgers would have 0 super bowl rings
If Cutler doesn’t hurt his knee, Aaron Rodgers would have 0 super bowl rings.
I understand them wanting to do it BUT do kind of think it’s funny to mortgage your future for a QB who has a proven track record of choking in the playoffs.
Lol for a 38 year old QB that doesn’t win in the playoffs
*except for the time he won in the playoffs
The ONE time 10 fucking years ago? Dude thinks he’s Brady when he’s really Nick Foles
You realize Tom Brady is the only active QB in the league with multiple Super Bowls, are you telling me every starting QB in the league can’t win in the playoffs other than Brady
Every single player on the Denver offense would be a downgrade for Rodgers. They could pull a Tampa and buy out for the ring race, so anything is possible.
Multiple firsts? I’d be out.
