2025 Green Bay Packers Thread

[MU82]

This morning on the radio (Get Up!) Tedy Bruschi said the Packers treated Aaron poorly.

Not that Aaron feels like the Packers treated him poorly.

Is Bruschi right? Are the Packers guilty of treating the star QB bad?

Absolutely! They only gave generational wealth to a quarterback who hasn't been in a Super Bowl in more than a decade and who has authored several heartbreaking season endings. Terrible.

I agree. As a Bears fan I feel like GB has been fair and professional with AR.

I wonder if Tedy is a lone wolf in terms of players feelings about GB or if he reflects many players take on the AR situation.

If they treated him poorly, it's because they surrounded him with historically bad defenses and/or historically bad meltdowns. Which I'm sure was just Gutey's and Ted's way of exerting control.

I played in a golf outing once with Tedy. He self admitted to many  of concussions. So not sure he is thinking clearly.

The Athletic took a look at 2020 first-round draft picks to see which ones merited having their 5th-year options exercised by their teams. Teams have until May 2 to make the call. Here's what they said about Love:

QB Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
Pick: 26 | 2024 option salary: $20.272 million

It's a lot of money to pay such an unproven player. But the Packers believe in Love enough to shop Aaron Rodgers. If Love plays in 2023 like team officials expect, picking up the fifth-year option will look really smart.

They don't really have a choice. They're moving on a year too late, and they need the years of control to figure it out. Plus, if Love is terrible, you're better leaning into the suck for a year

Two years ago, the Panthers faced a similar decision with Darnold.

For my Packer-fan friends, I hope this turns out better for y'all.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

If they are going to pay $20M for complete suckage, I'm available for $18M.

I'm not going to get too worked up until the draft happens without the trade going through or it's a weak return. There's not really any deadline until the draft.

Wouldn't the packers prefer that the trade be official after June 1st?  If so, terms could be agreed on, draft picks being done for other team etc. Just can't be made official until after June 1st?

[Herman Cain]

Would love to see the Jets trip over their "Johnson " Rod.

[Jockey]

The Jets are still the Jets. No team in the NFL is better at screwing things up.

GB should demand their 1st rounder as a starting point and if the Jets say no, look to SF or Tennessee.

[wadesworld]

Nice job by the Packers to leak that other teams are interested in ARod.

[rocket surgeon]

i think detroit could f' this up better than jets as they always seem to do when most everyone else would have this thing dic..in the bag

The Packers are free of the choking dog

Pretty strong return for a 40 year old who wasn't very good last year.

[Dish]

Compensation seems fine, essentially two 2nd round picks, I'd be curious if a new contract was worked out. That's of more interest to me to see here.

[4everwarriors]

Nope, one year removed from MVP status. GBP got fleeced, hey?

[Uncle Rico]

Nope, front office should have traded him after 2020.  That's on them and why they'll be job hunting probably in a year or two

[wadesworld]

In what way?  They get a 2nd this year and if he plays 65% of the snaps next year they get a first.  Otherwise they get two seconds.  What were you expecting them to get?

Pretty easy for the Jets to counter the Packers "well he was MVP 2 years ago!" with "Well he stunk last year, he's going to be 40, and he's constantly trying to retire so we're not giving you 2 firsts."

[4everwarriors]

Sure, shoulda cut bait with the dude and there was no rush to draft #10, who likely will suck major ass, aina?

Shoulda peddled his ass to the Broncos who spent like a drunken sailor for #3, hey?

[The Sultan]

Gutekunst is saying it's "not finalized" due to "paperwork," which my guess is that Rodgers has to sign an amended contract to lesson the cap hit.
