I just don't see that happening. I know the Packers shot themselves in the foot by drafting that Jordan Love kid last year. That was really stupid given that they already have a bonafide star QB, not to mention I think Love is gonna be a bust, but trading Rodgers? That would be madness! Keep him, try to move up in the draft and get him the best WR possible in a sign of good faith and basically offer to extend his contract, making him the richest QB in the NFL. He's signed through 2023, so if he wants to play elsewhere, he can't. Call his bluff and see if he retires. You don't trade him though. That is not even an option.

Shouldn't that suggest Niners weren't really choosing between three rookies? They were trying to get the MVP and only if that didn't work out they would go for a rookie?
This would explain why nobody knows which rookie they wanted. Because it's less important than the other thing they were working on.
I wonder how long the Niners and other teams knew about Aaron Rodgers being unhappy with the Packers. Reporters like Ian Rapoport have stated that both Aaron and the Packers were trying to reach a long term deal and can't come to an agreement regarding that.
Ian Rapoport on Twitter: "Here is my understanding of the Aaron Rodgers situation: Rodgers and the #Packers have been negotiating a long-term contract offer. They’ve been working on it for weeks. Rodgers has been unhappy at times during those moments. No deal is done, and he’s not happy now." / Twitter
Ian Rapoport on Twitter: "Over the last month, Aaron Rodgers had his agent Dave Dunn fly out to Green Bay for several days of meetings to work through the situation. Rodgers refused a restructure. Wanted an extension. Teams called knowing he wasn’t happy. GB rebuffed them. Offered an extension. No deal." / Twitter
Jay Glasner said that the Niners have known which guy they've wanted to draft for a few days now, yet it's been made to appear in the media that they were and may still be undecisive on which rookie they want. Maybe the Niners were more interested in a rookie QB at first, but as soon as they caught whiff of the Aaron Rodgers situation they shifted their attention on trying to get him. (Along with some other teams who have been asking about him.)
If the Packers are stupid enough to trade Rodgers, the Jets better get on the phone quickly and offer up whatever they have to.

Good points. I wonder if this is a move from Rodgers to make sure they use that 1st round pick to actually help him unlike drafting Love or D.
Surely the cap hit from trading him makes this trade impossible. Packers been in the Championship game 2 years running, don't blow a team that close up

Imagine if he got traded to the 9ers?
That would be something. Profootball is saying he likes being out on the west coast and that the Raiders and Denver could also be options for him. Someone said on Twitter that his fiancee lives in Colorado.

I wonder if they might consider it, if they really think he wants out. Though, I read some reports saying they really don't want to trade him. I agree it would definitely be in their best interest if they to get him the best WR help tonight during the draft. They need to do something to show good faith towards him. Though, in the event he does continue to hold out, Ian Rapoport is saying there is chance he could end fill that time up being a long term host on Jeopardy. Reportedly he impressed the Jeopardy Brass and could possibly be selected to host it long term.

The cap hit would be like $37 million this year with $38 million in dead money and almost $40 million in 2022 with $17 million in dead money. I just don't see how trading him is even possible.

Interesting. I always thought if Rodgers/Packers divorce ended up ugly he would somehow end up with the Bears or the Vikings just to face and get back at GB twice a season.
Of course the year the Jags have the No. 1 pick, the media storm gets swelled up in QB trade request instead of the Jags limelight of picking TL.

I saw one of these twitter accounts (the same idiot who said TL wouldn't get national endorsements) where they did an infomral poll as to whether Packer fans would straight up trade Rodgers for TL.
A sizeable number of the respondents said yes they would, and other saying there would be zero reason for the Jaguars to make that deal.

From Packer perspective Broncos make the most sense since outside of the conference.
I think that's where he ends up.
Elway-Manning-Rodgers.

If he wound up in Denver, he'd have weapons for days. But I don't see him being traded.

I know the Packers are stupid, but I don't see them sending Rodgers to Houston straight up for a guy facing 22 sexual assault accusations.

I thought about that...and I don't think such a trade would happen.
Green bay was not among the teams Watson listed as an acceptable destination.
Besides, there's no talent in Houston. Rodgers would be in a worse situation in Houston than he would be in Green Bay. It would drive him into an early retirement.
Fixin to be Jordan Love's team..
