Whether or not Aaron Rodgers plays in 2021 is yet to be determined, but he will not be playing with the Green Bay Packers according to the most recent report to surface.
ESPN’s Diana Russini joined Get Up! on Thursday and she said that the Packers will either trade Rodgers or he will sit out the season.
“I had a few GMs actually mention this to me over the last few weeks in terms of how they see this,” Russini said. “They describe this as the leverage on the side of Green Bay. We’ve been talking all week long and over the last few weeks about how Aaron Rodgers has the leverage. The leverage could be on the side of the Green Bay Packers, because look: it looks like they’re not going to get their league MVP quarterback back on their roster. It looks like this is not going to work out.”
“So either they’re going to trade him, or he’s going to sit out next year,” Russini continuted. “Either way, they don’t have their guy. So why not have him sit out all of next year and use all of that time to do some homework on the future draft picks they’ll be trading for, have conversations with teams that are interested, and really work on getting the best value out there for him. So there are those out there that think Green Bay has no incentive to trade him, and can really just sit back here and make Aaron make the move.”
Nation, how do you think this will play out?
As much as I support Rodgers, he is under contract and has no leverage other than his talent. Green Bay needs to move on with or without Rodgers and let him suffer the consequences.
Aaron Rodgers says he loves the Packers, he loves Green Bay, he loves the organization and all the history….but he wants out because he doesn’t like the philosophy of some of management. That’s like repeatedly telling your wife you love her, but one day coming home and demanding a divorce. And when she asks why…you say it’s because you had a fight with a guy at work!! Really? I like Rodgers and I hope he stays, but this is ridiculous.
Sucks to be a Greenbay Packer fan, no win for us or Football in general, sucks to have narrow minded management with minuscule football knowledge to run our great love of the PACKERS!!!
Who cares what Rogers does he’s a spoiled rich brat that couldn’t hold F arves jock strap get rid of the fucking bum
