Today Aaron Rodgers made it clear that the Packers are his future.  Immediately after the Packers committed to Davante Adams via franchise tag, with the intentions of a long term deal getting done.  All of this has to beg the question, is it time for Green Bay to trade Jordan Love? Jordan Love was taken with the 26th overall pick of the 2020 draft.  Green Bay traded up to grab him after two consecutive poor year from Aaron Rodgers.  Something noteworthy, those two years from Rodgers weren’t necessarily poor years in general.  They were just poor years for Aaron Rodgers…

Today the Green Bay Packers announced they will be franchise tagging Davante Adams for the 2022 season.  We’ve known this has been a possibility for quite some time.  Green Bay and Davante Adams fad failed to come to terms on a long term agreement, however there was no way they would let him walk.  This franchise tag gives them a full year to continue these long term contract talks. Official Announcement: https://twitter.com/rapsheet/status/1501236814107099142?s=21 What this means for the salary cap: With Green Bay’s ability to resign Rodgers, it cleared enough room to franchise tag Adams.  However this is not the…

He’s BACK!!  For at least one more year Aaron Rodgers will be in Green Bay under center in Green Bay.  Aaron Rodgers said he wouldn’t drag out his decision when letting us know his what his future holds; well just about one month after the Super Bowl Aaron Rodgers tells us he isn’t going anywhere.

Davante Adams is atop the list for potential candidates to be franchise tagged today. According to Dan Graziano of ESPN, the Packers and Adams have talked about a new contract but haven’t made “much progress,” and the team isn’t going to let him get to free agency even if Aaron Rodgers decides he wants to depart Green Bay. If the tag was…

As if this off-season (which just began) hasn’t been stressful enough for Packers fans, there is now more to add onto the Aaron Rodgers story.  Since the 2021 regular season, it was reported that the Denver Broncos would make a push for Aaron Rodgers.  However we have yet to hear any reports of those pushes impacting Rodgers’ decision, until now: https://twitter.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1500476864997040133?s=20&t=wsOWp9SVVRa4MluXRiF5Ew Jeremy Fowler, an ESPN Senior NFL reporter, announced that the Broncos have caught Rodgers’ eye more than we originally thought.  Green bay has made it obvious since last off-season they are willing to make Aaron Rodgers the highest paid…

Over the last 24 to 36 hours reports are that Aaron Rodgers is truly “torn” on where he wants to play in 2022.  After 17 seasons in Green Bay, many Packers fan see this as a slap in the face.   We understand loyalty only goes so far in professional sports, however this feels different.  Aaron Rodgers has been the face of this franchise for a decade and a half and knows what he means to not only the city, but the state of Wisconsin.  Feeling as though he could just up and leave after being on the brink of a…
