I thought the new contract will only be for 1 year and he will be a UFA this off season. I also heard there is a clause that the Pack can't tag him.
The CBA wouldn't allow alot of the stuff that's being rumored. Rodgers himself shot down the chatter about it voiding the final two years.

Now that doesn't mean there isn't a handshake agreement in place, like they exercise that opt out clause after this season or something like that, but officially, his contract is still in place, they can re work it, with an extension and what not, but they cannot simply void it, not without some serious ramifications from the league and the NFLPA.

And considering Green Bay still holds most of the cards, they'd be ridiculously stupid if that "handshake agreement" getting Rodgers out of town after this season, was not an agreement to trade him, rather than release him. Perhaps he has some say, perhaps there's a short list of teams they agreed to, but no intelligent businessman running a multibillion dollar business (which an NFL team is) is going to just take that loss and watch their biggest asset walk away for nothing, not when a profitable solution is readily available.

From the transcript of his presser-

Do you get to decide where you’re going to play next year?

Rodgers:
No. That’s not what I’ve been told or understand.


Unless it's a flat out lie...which, it certainly could be...that's pretty black and white.

Well, it'd have to be a trade, they aren't gonna just release him when they know they can get a kings ransom for him, and Denver will not be the only suitors
Yep. This is why I am ok with it.

For anyone who cares to know....
The Denver press, or at least most of those I've heard an opinion from, say Drew Lock won day 1 of the "50/50 camp battle". Some say he won resoundingly, other say it was close, and one or two even say Teddy edged Drew out.

You can see how barring a total collapse from one or the other, this is going to drag on for a while.

Teddy is what he is - a decent system QB who's good in short/intermediate accuracy. But with Sutton and Jeudy being their top wideouts, you're going to want a guy who can push it downfield, and Lock is probably better there.

But with the defense looking top 5ish or so in the league, you may just want a safe game managing type QB, instead of a gunslinger who is prone to turnovers. That's been my debate all summer.
