It’s still unknown what Aaron Rodgers wants from the Packers because he still hasn’t said what he wants publicly.

There’s nevertheless reason to believe that Rodgers — who is sufficiently brilliant to be presumed to have a plan — has been using other ways to send messages via the media.

In recent days, for example, former teammates who have spoken with Rodgers have found their way to microphones with their characterizations of what Aaron wants.

If that’s true, these former teammates could be laying the foundation for Rodgers to eventually yield in his desire to leave the Packers, given that the Packers aren’t inclined to grant his wish to be traded.

He outlined a path toward a resolution to the problem, and he pushed back against the prevailing belief that Rodgers wants out.

“I truly believe Aaron wants to come back to Green Bay, but he doesn’t want to do it on a lame-duck contract which, even though there’s three years on his contract if you really look at the terms of it, it pretty much sets up for a clean break at the end of the 2021 season for the Packers himself considering that Jordan Love is on a rookie salary,” Kuhn said.

“So I think that he wants more insurance that he’s going to be a long-term starting quarterback option for the Green Bay Packers and that I believe is something that would intrigue him to make amends with the team and come back to this season.”.

He repeatedly called the situation between Rodgers and the Packers “fixable,” and that Jones doesn’t believe Rodgers will hold out.

If these messages take root, and there could be more in coming days from former or current Packers, a sense will emerge that the storm of reports from last week were overblown.

Even if Rodgers had every reason to knock them down on camera last weekend with Mike Tirico and declined to do so.

The reality is that, if the Packers aren’t going to trade Rodgers, he has two options: Play for the Packers or play for no one (and give up nearly $30 million in unearned bonus money).

Unless and until he is, if he wants to play football, he’s going to have to play for the team for which he reportedly doesn’t want to play.

This matter is between the Green Bay Packers, Inc and Aaron and should remain private.

No trades will happen, Rodgers will show up, likely get his new contract, and we will all have wasted weeks on this for no reason.

And yet he’s been endlessly vilified by commenters on here because they somehow think they know Rodgers and what he thinks and what he wants.

I think Rodgers has a right to be disgruntled with how GB has…uh…”built” the team around him.

John Kuhn: “75% chance that Aaron Rodgers is the starting quarterback for the Packers this year.”.

Rodgers loves the drama but he will ultimately return to the Packers and terrorize the NFC North for 3-4 more years and poor Jordan Love will likely make his first NFL start with a different team.

The narcissistic practice of leading people to believe you are leaving – just so you can marinate yourself in everyone saying how much they need you, then you say, ok I’ll come back for 1 year….and you do that the next 5-7 years.

Is there a better opportunity for the Packers to cash in and trade a 38 year old QB and scoop up a Stafford sized draft haul.

It must be tough to really believe you are bigger than the team that pays you and your star power can influence your teams vital decisions only to be slammed down to earth by your team refusing your demands and putting team before star player.The Packers must stick to their guns on this feud with AR,every other team is watching in case one of their stars think they too are better than the team.

If the packers trade him they would get multiple picks and players?

Would rather beat the packers with Rodgers.

There’s a reason why the Packers don’t want to trade Rodgers.

There has been ongoing friction between Rodgers and the Packers for many years now.

Green Bay should make a Hershel Walker sized trade for Rodgers.

If no trade happens then I believe Rodgers has to retire or return to GB.

I think a trade with the Broncos is a done deal as Mark Schlereth said.

If the trade goes through, the Packers can dump Rodgers next March via trade.

Very recently, it’s leaked that GB may now be looking into signing another QB or two for OTAs/minicamp (so as not to be only J Love there) since Aaron has been repeatedly “saying” for months — in leaks of his own — that he doesn’t want to play for them anymore?

Make him play to his current contract, the extension terms of which he readily agreed to only a year or two ago.

Is there a better opportunity for the Packers to cash in and trade a 38 year old QB and scoop up a Stafford sized draft haul.

Aaron Rodgers current contract he signed was a 4 year $134,000,000 deal including a $57,500,000 signing bonus.

First, realize that if the Packers really thought Jordan Love could play now or in the future, they’d have traded Rodgers already.

Here’s how to fix this: Extend/Restructure Rodgers contract to not only give Rodgers stability, but to give you the cap room for the second part of the fix – trade for Julio Jones.

I hear the fans are booing Rodgers if his name gets called out at other professional sports events, my friends that are old time true Packer fans are really sick and tired of his diva personality, there looking forward to cheering for a real football player that wants to play football and are in favor of letting Mr?

If Green Bay isn’t interested in adding guaranteed years to the contract then they should trade Rogers.

Maybe Rodgers got an email from Jeopardy saying that we prefer not to hire a guy who has in the past got his management fired(Mike McCarthy) and who continues to try to get his current management fired.

He’ll come back when he gets exactly what he wants, and I think both are very possible.

Rodgers doesn’t want to play for the GM.

Everyone wins unless he truely in his heart wants four more years in packerville then adios

Love’s contract becomes a big problemo that the Pack will have to deal with if they keep Rodgers for four more years

There’s a reason why the Packers don’t want to trade Rodgers

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love don’t exchange Christmas cards
