Per Rob Demovsky (ESPN's Packer reporter ... long time guy, covering the Packers since '97):
Aaron Rodgers was NOT among the group of players who reported to Lambeau Field on Monday for the start of OTAs.
Per Albert Breer:
Rodgers forfeiting a $500K workout bonus.
Per Adam Schefter:
Throughout his career, Rodgers has been a regular participant in offseason program and OTAs.

I think that Aaron Rodgers and Lebron James should marry:
They deserve each other:
Together forever.

Until Rodgers actually signs with another team, I'm not going to believe that he is leaving. I can't IMAGINE that Green Bay would let him walk, for anything.

Running those commercials in the Chicago market is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.Arkansasbear wrote: ↑Mon May 24, 2021 1:39 pmYep, that's maybe a day of filming for State Farm (which I will never ever use).
Anyway, the drama up there is fantastic and they deserve every second of this.

Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

Happy? No. Happy is when you hit all green lights on the way home, happy is when you make a Full House on the River. That's happy.

His net worth is $120 mill, I think he will be fine.

I still watch Jeopardy now and again, so hard no. I don't wanna see that giant dick on TV until he's an old man, would rather he retire quietly and not be heard from again.

Most of the people watching Jeopardy have no idea who Aaron Rodgers is, and don't care about football.

Oh this is getting good. Rodgers has already baited Adams into following him wherever he decides to go. Scantling and St. Brown don't have the clout to be pulling this crap yet, and the Green Bay FO will fine them if they don't show up for TC. This is also a slap in the face to Jordan Love by his receiver corps. LOVE. IT.

Oh wait, it gets even better:
As of right now, the Packers are slated to be about $34M over the cap in 2022. They can get under by trading/cutting Aaron Rodgers and converting roster bonuses of David Bakhtiari, Kenny Clark and AaronJones into signing bonuses but that would only just get them under Keep in mind this doesn't include a big $ extension for Adams. They'll also have to pay Alexander, Jenkins, Gary and Savage soon. Bottom line, the Packers put themselves in a hole with all the back loading they did this offseason. If Jordon Love flops this could blow up quickly

There is a GM named Poles
Who has a clear set of goals
He’s rebuilt his team
So Bears’ fans can dream
Of winning some more Super Bowls

I don't know about that. But on one of the shows he hosted the answer was "in the 1960s these midwesterns won 5 championship trophies" and none of the contestants knew the question was "who are the Green Bay Pukers."Bears Whiskey Nut wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 7:17 pmMost of the people watching Jeopardy have no idea who Aaron Rodgers is, and don't care about football.

Although Erin blew as when he "answered" it he didn't do so in the form of a question.

I know that, come September, this is likely all in the past and Rodgers is back slinging the pill all over the field in puke green and piss yellow.
But right now? I am thoroughly enjoying the schadenfreude. Fuck the Packers.

That said fun watching the drama play out, but agree with those that it's still more likely than not he's QB for Packers when season starts.

Good ol' fashioned game of Chicken here ....
My money is on the Packers flinching first - this is a guy who gives zero ****s about destroying personal relationships. Ask his entire family or Olivia Munn or Danica Patrick ... or anyone else he's ever been close to.Mike Florio of profootballtalk.com wrote:The Packers won’t trade the quarterback who doesn’t want to play for them because the Packers don’t believe he won’t play for them.
That’s the gist of a recent report from Matt Schneidman of TheAthletic.com, and it makes plenty of sense. Schneidman writes that the Packers would trade Rodgers if the Packers “believed he was truly committed to never playing for them again,” and if the Packers “wanted to get draft picks and players in return instead of forcing him to retire.”
While to a certain extent obvious given the current posture of quarterback and player, the news here is that the Packers don’t buy the idea that Rodgers will refuse to show up and play for them. The question of whether they’d prefer draft picks and players and letting him play elsewhere over the money they’d get back from him if he retires (nearly $30 million in bonuses plus salary avoidance, starting with $14.7 million this year) doesn’t become relevant until the Packers conclude that he will never play for them again.

If A A Ron doesn't think the Pack are taking him serious, me thinks that will piss him off all the more. He has plenty of $ and can make plenty more from State Farm and whoever else wants to pay him.
Speaking of "mature" adults showing up at frat parties, I did that about 4-5 years ago. Went to visit my daughter in college. She was in a sorority and their "brother" frat always had parties. We went and I had a blast. I was shot gunning beers, jumping off their coffee table to slam a nerf and embarrassing my daughter. It was great.
