Aaron Rodgers to Broncos

[CEH]

Any move of this magnitude would have the blessing of Elway and Ellis defecto ownership

The day the analysts realize a great defense is more important than a QB, will be the day analysts understand better.

The day the analysts understand that a great OL is a QBs best friend and not high priced WRS or RBS, will the day they understand a lot.

Would Rodgers want to be traded to a team where the team is weakened? Like if they give up 3 first rounders, and his ginormous salary cripples a team's ability to sign defensive or OL help?

Hmmmm?

Rodgers does not have big contract. His base salaries for the next 3 years are:

• 2021 - $14,700,000
• 2022 - $25,000,000
• 2023 - $25,000,000

He does have $500,000 workout bonuses each year, and I think the signing bonus hit stay's with Green Bay.

I have heard where any trade would include a new contract for Rodgers making him the highest paid QB in history. Don't know how true that is.

Don't want this to go down.......at all.

That’s the price when you don’t draft a QB when you have a top 10 pick. @Mingo

 

[nflbronco]

We will need new ownership if we get AR. If your going to trade you better redo his deal dumb business

Cost benefit analysis aside - this is always true.

 

[LGM]

Existing trade value is two 1's and a 2 (according to PFT and others). Not an exorbitant price for a GOAT-type QB.

Considering he could play for another 5 years at a high level, and considering we have a number of players with expensive contracts ending (like Von and a few DB's), I'd say AR is a no-brainer.

Also, a no-brainer is that AR has taken his team deep into the playoffs without much of an oline, backfield, skill position players, or Defense.

I'm all for #12 becoming a Bronco if that's the direction Denver want's to go. Then while Rodgers is lighting up the AFC West, maybe we can build up draft capital for a go at Arch Manning (Should he continue his current trajectory).

Broncos' Legend Jake Plummer Urges 'True Fans' to 'Buy Into' QB Drew Lock

As a quarterback who helped win a lot of games for the Broncos, Jake Plummer knows a thing or two about leadership and Mile-High expectations. Plummer still believes in Drew Lock.

While he played well, I'm not sure I'd go as far as to call Plummer a "Broncos Legend". Whoever wrote this got a bit overzealous with the headline!

I agree. It was fun watching Mike Shanahan trying to turn Plummer into the robot QB he wanted. Not a legend for sure, but I believe he has the highest winning percentage of any Bronco QB. His bootlegs and reverse bootlegs - were things of beauty.

May know more about Rodgers future when the schedule comes out soon.

The chances of Rodgers leaving the Pack seem very slim to me. Rodgers leverage is to sit out at age 37 - even he has to worry if that eats away at his last few professional moments.

I think the only leverage the Packers have right now is Rodgers having to pay back some 40 million dollars. Other than that, great qbs are playing into their 40's with the new rules, and he's been relatively healthy during his career.

That said, I think there is a slim to none chance he goes back to play for GB at all. I think with him being a very private person and letting these comments hit the press shows he really is done. And I think he's old enough and has seen what he can do outside of football that the game would be easy to walk away from.

Lets not forget he doesn't love it like Brady, Manning, or Brees.

I can see what your saying. I do think, though, he craves the attention and spotlight - so I don't see him as a walk away from the game type. Yours was a very thoughtful and insightful answer none-the-less.

Feeling disrespected is a huge blow to ones ego. I doubt Rodgers is the type to swallow his pride

Well there's that, but on the other side - he got's his teammates - his fans and his commercial income.

Rodgers told his family to hit the bricks. He sure as hell won’t care about the Packers.
