Who Will Aaron Rodgers Play For In 2022?

[gopkrs]

His contract is the controller on trade talks 100%. That is exactly like having a no trade clause in my opinion, cuz he can merely say nope won’t redo contract for that team….yes I will for that team.

That is why I think while we may know Rodgers is leaving, the actually working out the trade could TAKE A VERY VERY LONG TIME.

I think you have one to many verys.

Agreed. We are talking about quite a few teams here and to facilitate the process, if the Packers have decided they want to trade him, they should just inform him of that and say "ok, what teams are ones you would consider?" Waste of time and effort for the Packers to try and work a trade with a team that he will not report to, since that team won't go through with the deal.

Also, if you throw Davante Adams destination and now potentially MVS's (WTF?) into the equation and Rodgers wants them to go with, it has now become a CF.

Very very astute of you to spot that! The number I use, often varies too.

I sense the days he spent in Green Bay talking were as long as reported due to a lot of what ifs and scenarios had to be discussed. For a guy that doesn't clearly live in the fiscal side of the business Gute/Ball no doubt had to express and explain the fiscal negatives and impacts of doing this, which leads to this and then in turn this type of thing to Rodgers. Rodgers is a lot of things, but dumb is not one of them. He no doubt has a lot to think on now, and I honestly expect him to make a decision middle to end of February...now that doesn't mean the team or he will make it public for a bit so they can further their discussions like where would you like to go or where will you work with to do contract assistance for the new team.

I could be wrong, but I think the author of this article, Zack Kelberman, got it wrong. I have never seen anything about a no trade clause in his contract. Not saying that there isn't, but I think if there had been, that would be addressed by the media, before even talking about trades.

I think there has been talk about no team will trade for Rodgers, unless they have a new contract on the table with him, which he would have to agree to. So to that extent, he has a "I will only agree to this trade if....." implied clause. So if the Packers wanted to trade him to a team he didn't want to play for, he couldn't stop it, but he could retire or sit out his last season. No team is going to want to invest draft capital in that situation.

Since when does anyone in the media check anything any more. If it doesn't fit their agenda they just ignore it.

Ian Rappaport is the worst...blew the Rodgers saga up last year with a bunch of BS mixed with truths...now the Brady retirement issue....dude's a clown.

Agreed and you see that with fans too, but we don't get paid for our misinformation.

It has become a "who has the scoop first" world and with the internet, some are willing to take a chance that they finally strike gold on a scoop, after failing 100 times. There really is no repercussions for the misinformation and their quick out seems to always be "I was acting on knowledge that I obtained from anonymous sources. I guess too many of them seem to have talking dogs.

 

[Mondio]

I am not doubting that they have some sources about this, but at the same time, ****, it's not YOUR story to break if true, it's Tom's. You know, the guy that put in all the work and has made a decision and should be allowed to announce it when and how he feels like it. I will never read Rapaport again. He has no integrity left.

 

[tynimiller]

In the same boat, this is why the most famous athletes learn to keep their circles extremely small. At least those they truly trust with anything.

Does the cap hit for Green Bay vary depending on WHEN they trade him? (I thought June 1 is the date) Like it does for a release where some can be pushed to the following year? That said, can they make a deal getting draft picks in this years draft but not actually moving Rodgers til June 1? (Seems unlikely) Also can the cap relief from a projected June 1 action be counted towards cap relief required to meet the Mar 8 deadline? If most of those are a “no” it would seem they have to do something with Rodgers prior to Mar 8 and certainly before the draft (End of April)

I'm not the cap expert so won't speculate. I've heard from numerous folks that about $19-$20M would be saved in a trade due to the base salary would "come off" or something similar. @captainWIMM might be able to explain

Yup...and just after Schefter "broke" the Brady retiring scoop...this is how much crap he created by doing so.

Despite rumors that he is retiring, the legendary quarterback reportedly told Jason Licht he has not made his final decision yet.

No real help here but I always thought that savings with a post June 1st designation could be used for immediate cap relief but I'm not sure. That's why you would see guys released before June 1st but they were designated as post June first cuts. maybe they just adjusted the cap hit after June first to account for it I doubt they could get any draft picks this year if that were the case but I could be wrong.

Rodgers "open" to playing for the Titans per Twitter.

The Titans don't have much in the way of 2022 draft capital. The 26th pick and no 2nd round pick, would make them a less than favorable trade partner.

They’d have to throw a serious player of want in to make it work and even then don’t see it.

They'd probably have to swing a deal before any deal with GB. Get a second rounder. They'd probably have to give up AJ brown otherwise, and I can't see them doing that. 1st rounder, AJ Brown, 3rd rounder & 1st rounder next year would be interesting - but probably overkill to get Rodgers.

Why not? They're used to being the #1 seed and going one and done.

I'd take AJ Brown if I had to. I know I know, they ain't signing Aaron Rodgers and trading away AJ Brown. It makes no sense I'm just sayin I'd take him.

Another example of the media making **** up with no repercussion if they are wrong. You are going to say "but he was right, Brady did retire" but was he really right or did he just guess correctly? There is a difference. Schefter reported that his inside source said Brady had decided to retire. Being right would mean that Brady had actually decided to retire and told someone who told Schefter. Now Brady says he had not decided to retire when AS broke the news. That means either Brady is lying or Schefter was lying and he was just guessing or his source was wrong. Either way, since Brady did retire there will be no repercussions on Schefter. If he had no source and he was lying and guessing no biggie, he did retire so he guessed right. If his source was wrong, again no biggie because TB retired. However, Brady's retirement doesn't change the fact that Schefter may have been wrong with his initial report.

They'd probably have to swing a deal before any deal with GB. Get a second rounder. They'd probably have to give up AJ brown otherwise, and I can't see them doing that. 1st rounder, AJ Brown, 3rd rounder & 1st rounder next year would be interesting - but probably overkill to get Rodgers.

No way would they give up that much IMO. Lose the first rounder next year and maybe but like I said before I doubt they are going to trade for Rodgers and give up Brown. Julio maybe. You're not going to get Adams involved in a sign and trade either because why would the Titans want Adams when they already have Brown who himself is going to get a huge payday soon. At this point if I'm going to pay them the same amount of money I think I'd rather have Brown. He's younger.
