Trey Wingo reports
“The Packers reportedly told Aaron Rodgers they were going to trade him in the off season, then backed off. It’s been a bleep show between them ever since. And within the last week Rodgers told the team.. trade or no trade I’m not coming back. Buckle up folks”
Sure is nice to see the turmoil on the other side of the river for a change. We will see if both sides can kiss and make up but this would sure be a bitter end to an already tumultuous legacy in packland.

Doesn’t matter.
As a lifelong Packer fan, we will still win the Super Bowl this year.
Arodge would look good in purple
There is a definite advantage to being old enough to remember the pre-Farve days. I can only hope Erin forces his way out. 
We got the best of Rodgers years and it resulted in 1 Lombardi. If he wants out take the boatload for him and move on. Move him now while his value is sky high. He wants a west coast gig so he can be near his squeeze and host Jeopardy. Good luck. Next man up.
Story from the Athletic.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the NFL’s reigning MVP, is disgruntled with the team and does not want to return to Green Bay, according to multiple reports.
The team is aware of Rodgers’ unhappiness, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Thursday. Packers president Mark Murphy, general manager Brian Gutekunst and head coach Matt LaFleur have visited with Rodgers separately during the offseason, the report said.
“As we’ve stated since the season ended, we are committed to Aaron in 2021 and beyond. Aaron has been a vital part of our success and we look forward to competing for another championship with him leading our team,” Gutekunst said in a statement responding to the reports.
Rodgers has also been the subject of trade rumors heading into Thursday’s NFL Draft.
After Green Bay’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship, Rodgers told reporters that “a lot of guys’ futures (are) uncertain, myself included.” He clarified his comments in an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” last week, saying “I don’t think that there is any reason why I wouldn’t be back.”
Rodgers, 37, has three years remaining on a four-year, $134 million extension he signed in August 2018, a deal that was restructured in December 2019 to create cap space.
What we know
Matt Schneidman, Packers beat writer: What we know, without anyone publicly saying it on the record, is that all of this likely stems from general manager Brian Gutekunst’s decision to trade up in the first round last year to draft quarterback Jordan Love when Rodgers had four years left on his contract. Rodgers bit his tongue for about a year, and this is the culmination. Multiple reports have stated that Rodgers wants out of Green Bay and a contract extension won’t even smooth things out because he’s at such odds with the higher-ups within the organization.
What would the fallout be from Packers moving on from Rodgers?
Schneidman: If Rodgers never plays for the Packers again, I think that would reflect far worse on the organization, specifically Gutekunst and president Mark Murphy, than it would Rodgers because of his reported insistence on leaving. He’s already solidified his legacy as a legend in these parts, and nothing can change that. Cap-wise, according to Over the Cap, trading Rodgers before June 1 would deal Green Bay approximately a $31.6 million cap hit, whereas trading him after June 1 would deal the team approximately a $14.3 million cap hit.
Who should be interested in Rodgers should he become available?
Mike Sando, NFL senior writer: Denver makes sense as an out-of-conference team with an unsettled quarterback situation, a top-10 pick to offer, a 2022 first-round pick to offer, a solid defense, some decent weapons and a recent history of succeeding with an all-time great quarterback at the controls. The Broncos aren’t going to unseat Kansas City in the AFC West while running a huge deficit at the QB position. Rodgers would close that gap more than any other player in the league could close it. People will mention the 49ers, but sending Rodgers to a 2021 opponent within the conference seems less than ideal.
I’d take him in a minute to be on a team right now. He’ll have a chip on his shoulder for gb and something to prove.
Not surprising given how their season ended last year. And it seems like the trend of QBs sticking it out with one team to retirement is long behind us. Will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Rodgers is a thinking man and he wants the perception to be he was forced out, he always said he wants to finish in Green Bay, but saying it and meaning it are two different things. I think Gutey is playing his hand better so far but who knows?

Really?
The GM versus Rodgers? I’ll put my money on Rodgers coming out of this better than the GM.
The GM will be run out of town before he ‘wins’ the hand against Rodgers. In fact, he should have been run out of town last year after trading up to get a backup QB and using his second rounder on a 3rd string RB, all the while having the best QB in the game and SB ready team. Pretty stupid draft in my opinion.
Until somebody can beat him Brady & then Mahomes are the best quarterbacks,

Every man has a right his opinion. They said the same things about Thompson when he drafted Rodgers as Favre was near the end. The Love pick and last years draft value has yet to be determined
Watching the draft. What makes people turn into idiots when a TV camera is around?

Does this mean the Vikings will win the superbowl this year????

Yes

Does this sound familiar?! I seem to remember their previous hall of fame QB wanting out, only to come back and stick it to his old team!
Any packer fan that says let him go and trade him away is delusional.
Trey Lance from Minnesota goes #3 to 49’ers.
Melissa Stark is a looking pretty good tonight. 
Quarterbacks falling towards the queens……………..
Unless someone trades up it looks like Jones or Fields may be available at 14.
I hope the Vikings take Mac Jones to develop behind Cousins
And awesome news about Rodgers and the Packers! Hope it ends ugly!

Yes. Dallas and SD don’t need a QB, but if NE doesn’t make a trade they’ll find themselves missing out on one of the top 5 QB’s by one pick. Hopefully Vikes can either get Jones or get a haul for their pick.
I would agree, Jones watching & learning for a year or two would be great.
Queens trade back.
Vikings suck. Golden opportunity and give it away.
I try real hard to defer to the guys that run teams and scout for a living, but personally I don’t like it. I think it’s likely the Vikes package some picks to move into the 2nd, but overall I don’t think they got near enough for a 1st round pick.
Could’ve had Jones, who could’ve been upwards of #3 overall, or a good o-lineman. Not real excited about this.
great move by queens. Slater was the pick and went just before the pick. mac jones is the next aj mccarron
I like the Pats pick.
Terrible move by the Vikings. And almost a worse move by the Jets. Gift wrapped Mac Jones to the Patriots who land another franchise QB.
I guess there is a reason good teams are good and bad teams stay bad.
back to the topic at hand, lots of steam that Arodge is headed to Denver as early as tonight?
