So the Packers will trade away their current MVP, take on $31M in dead cap, have nobody in the wings to replace him (assuming Love is as bad as being reported) and of all teams, trade him to an NFC rival that LeFluer knows the system of and knows Rodgers would thrive in?
Do you really think the Packers are going to just spit on their Super Bowl window like this?
No QB? They spent a 1st on one, same thing they did with Rogers...they save $70M in cap space in 2022/2023, we're all smart enough to know how the FO
works with structuring contracts. Low cap hit this yr massive payouts when you freed up $40M in 2022 with Rogers off the books. They gotta pay him regardless.
It's not really about who they want to trade him too...if he wants to go to SF then that's where he's gonna go. You think he's gonna agree to play for the Colts? I don't. If he's truly done in GB he will be in charge of it happening. If not maybe he retires. Then you're stuck paying him a f**k ton of money (higher cap hit in 2021) and get no compensation. Carson Palmer did it.
GB f**ked themselves buy giving Rogers an extension (and restructuring) only to draft a QB (and not giving him help on offense) they made their bed and now have to lie in it.
All that said, I think it's more him being emotional about the situation...Rogers is different though he might just be done.
