Unless, of course the team has already decided the direction and they will let him retire or trade him.  If that is the case, they are proceeding without many of the "what-ifs". "What if Rodgers plays and wants some of the now FA ex-teammates back.  What if he wants a new contract, how will it effect the cap?  What if we want to draft for the future and not for the right now?"  The only decision being held up, in the case of the Packers moving on, is who do they trade him to, what they will get and do with the trade assets.So yes, Rodgers decisions impacts the team greatly and delaying just continues to create more work and question marks for the staff, dealing with all the variables surrounding the 3 different ways the scenario could play out.</blockquote>
