the head coach of the Denver Broncos. You may not want to
jump into that division in that conference when you own the NFC
North, especially with the Bears and the Vikings, both
getting new head coach, has the lions in year two of their
latest
regime change. I don't know why Aaron Rodgers would want to
leave the Green Bay Packers. He says, he'll take some time. He
doesn't want to be part of a rebuild. Look. I've come to
the point where I've concluded that Aaron Rodgers, just likes being
the center of attention.
Period. He likes to talk. He likes to hear himself talk and
he likes to hear people talk about him. That's it. And he's
gotten to the point where he doesn't care about being
criticized.
He's so interested in being part of the conversation, being
front and center being able to set the narrative. He
understands there are people who are going to criticize him.
He's willing to go
into that Fray and push back against those who
would in any way. Not Praise Him for being the smartest,
the most, the most enlightened athlete of our time. I, I just,
I don't know what he's going to do.
But I think he likes being
the center of our attention
and I can't wait. I can't wait to see what he has to say
tomorrow to try to downplay the clear import of the things. He
said on Saturday night after that game because it's clear.
He's having serious thoughts about whether or not he's going
to return
and we'll know sooner than later, what he's going to do.
He said by the start of free agency. Yeah, because he's
going to be looking for another team.
If he decides, he's not going to stay with the Packers.
Well, let's hope it's sooner than later. I mean, that didn't
happen last year in this thing dragged out until the 11th hour
before training camp starts. Hey, that's good for business.
That's good for business.
Take your time, Aaron. It doesn't have to make a decision
about the middlemarch. Jake, take, as long as you want. Take
his long, it take all the way up to the start training camp
if you want. I've got no complaints about that.
Well, and you know
Rogers seemed to indicate that his relationship with the team
with the front office has improved since then that he
made it sound like Mike. I got the feeling of the last two
weeks before this loss that
he was going to come back and he was ready to come back
to Green Bay and realize that the grass wasn't necessarily
Greener somewhere else. Look, every team has problems and
some
with owners because Packers don't have an Owner have more
problems than what the Packers have. So when you start really
assessing the positives and on one side and the negatives on
another, I don't know that there is a better situation for
him than Green
Bay with the division there in with everything else that goes
into that team with the fan support with everything. I mean
to me there's not a better situation that he can go to and
have a chance to win. Like I said, I'm not going to the AFC
if I'm Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady. I'm Staying in the NFC
because I think I have a better chance
to get to a Super Bowl and win a Super Bowl.
Then having to go through those guys in the AFC
best way, the Packers can keep him in place is to approach him
right now. With a major contract offer fully
guaranteed. How about two years 100 million dollars. And
you know what? That sounds ludicrous.
Pat Mahomes makes 45 million a year, Josh Adams making 43 Dak,
Prescott making 40 Aaron, Rodgers wire to wire the best
quarterback in the NFL. Sheer, although last night Josh Alan
patricof homes, made a change my mind,
but
he's making Jared Goff money at 33 and a half million. I really
do think if the Packers want to keep him. I've said this before
and I don't want to lose sight of it. The easiest way to do it
is show up at his doorstep with
a gigantic pile of money
that will make the decision for him. That in the
offering of that contract.
Not only
the money talks, but it also basically says Jordan love is
a guy who's
To languish on the bench until we trade and we're never going
to play him. Two years, 100 million fully guaranteed at
signing. That's not a ridiculous number. That's not
an unfair number, that's fitting. And also, in Green
Bay. It's not like they have some owner
who's stuffing all that money into his, or her pocket. It's
publicly owned and they've made a lot of money off of selling
Money for Nothing stock certificates. They've got
the hundred million that they can give to Aaron Rodgers for two
more years, if they want to do it
Shireen.
Well, and I would also approached him Mike and give
him some say, in the offensive Personnel. Who do you want now?
Obviously, we know he's gonna want to keep Davante Adams, but
they can franchise tag him. They certainly have
a challenging salary cap situation. We know that they're
the second most over the projected cap for next year,
behind only or in front of however, you want to refer to
it, the Saints. So they've got some work to do on that front,
but we all know you can do stuff to make the cap work for
you. They Do what they want to do. So
franchise, tag, Davante Adams show up with that check and
tell, Rogers. Hey, we'll work with you. Who do you want it
receiver? Who do you want it running back? Who do you want
the offensive line? How can we improve this?
How can we make this better for you? How can we get over that?
Hump to win in the postseason, to go to the Super Bowl? And
when you use S Super Bowl, we realize it's been 11 years
since that's happened. So that's what they need to do.
Give him some say in that area as well.
Last sport real quick. Before we take a break. I wrote about
this. Earlier today, but when you consider
that the Packers made a half-hearted effort at getting
Odell Beckham jr. They made them an offer. They knew we
wouldn't accept, they really didn't want him. Now. They
placated. Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers, the time said, hey,
I'm just glad they tried. I don't think they tried all that
hard.
They didn't do what the Rams did. Where you had
this multi-level effort to show
obj. The love, as he said,
they could have used Odell Beckham on Saturday night. They
could have used Odell Beckham in this run-up
to the postseason.
I'm up to speed and having him ready to go because other than
Davante Adams, there wasn't much contribution by any of
the other pass catchers. The Buccaneers could have used obj.
Remember the flippant
remark from Bruce Arians
too many initials. We got a B we don't need obj. Well, I'm
part of it. Is he may help you and he's definitely not going
to help one of your competitors.
The Rams have obj, they're still alive and they're feeling
pretty good because he's done well for them bucks. And
Packers out wondering what may have been
