Aaron Rodgers to retire?

Per NBCSports
 

SI.com's Bill Huber reports Las Vegas sportsbooks are "preparing for Aaron Rodgers to retire."

It adds to speculation Rodgers won't be back with the Packers when training camp opens next week. Multiple sportsbooks, including DraftKings, have removed Packers-based wagers on the belief Rodgers will retire, while PFT's Mike Florio suggests there’s a "very good reason" to think Rodgers won’t report to camp. The Packers broke off long-term talks with contract-year WR Davante Adams on Friday, the latest misstep for a front office that's been under fire all offseason. Rodgers, who rejected a two-year extension, may be willing to sit out 2021 as he looks to force his way out of Green Bay.

 

Looks like there is 0% chance he plays for the packers again

Worked for Gronk. Took a year off. Came back and won a Ring.

Yeah, but Rodgers is under contract until the 2024 season. He can retire, but the Packers hold his rights until then.

Thats true, except that's not how it works in reality when a player takes a year off. After a whole season of Jordan Love they will be in a rock and hard place and a whole year out of football kinda proves the player is dead serious and irreconcilable. What do you hold him in spite with your new bride? Nope, they have to let him go or trade him for a 2nd round pick.

Ask Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson. Then again, the Lions are one of the worst ran organizations in the NFL and the Packers are one of the best.

Rodgers will not play another down of NFL Football, without the written consent of the Green Bay Packers.

 

There are literally 10s of ways this can go. But if Rodgers wants to still play QB, he is going to need GBs help. GB has him under Contract. For all intents and purposes. They own him.

Aaron Rodgers, and Devante Adams say hi. Green Bays reputation has taken a big hit lately. They've had Rodger his whole career. And won 1 SB. I wouldn't say they were ever the gold standard.

 

That's what happens when you have Stockholders. Profits over glory.

The Packers compete year in and year out. They have a total of four losing seasons since we entered the league. We have a total of seven winning seasons in that same timeframe. I wouldn't say they're the absolute gold standard either, but they're certainly one of the better ran teams in the league.

They have done a fair job of putting pieces around Arod. The RB position is always a ? They can never seem to quite figure out the WR position. They had a great D for years, lately, not so much. 

 

They did well with what they have. Stockholders. They never spend their Cap. They under pay anyone that let's them. And now they have lost the last great GB QB.

 

We'll see how they fare, now that they don't have a HOF QB.

I heard that the annual stockholders' meeting is this coming week.  That one should be interesting.

Rogers is a narcissistic prick who has made sure he is the center of attention.  The losers are the GB fans. Those fans who fill the stadium in 20 below weather deserve better.

I can understand his frustration with the Packers but I get the vibe he's just tired of seeing someone like Tom stockpile more and more rings and even young stars like Mahomes joining in. You could argue GB has been inconsistent with their defense over the years but they have still been one of the more competitive teams overall. I rooted for the Packers when they won it all some years back but Aaron has peeled back his persona quite a bit since then and shown he likes to make it about himself a little too much. But he's going to be just fine regardless of all this and he's plenty wealthy with numerous options after football.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
