I don't wish to rain on your parade Gunnar, but I'll make two points.

1) Double check your spelling. Note the headline is 'milling' rather than 'mulling'.
2) Puts gaps between the paragraphs to make things easier to read.

Apologies for making a negative post, but it might help going forward.

I just don't see a viable way to bring back both AR and DA...

What is best for the Green Bay Packers?

IMHO, the best thing for the Packers would be if Gutey, AR, and DA were all to come to the conclusion that what is best for the Packers is if we Trade AR and Tag & Trade DA.

IDK if there is a way for Gutey to legally set up a tag and trade for DA? If there were a tag and trade for DA, I would assume it would be to a team that really wants DA and would gladly negotiate that monster contract that DA deserves, as opposed to a year rental on the tag.

Trading AR ASAP is probably the best thing for the Packers as an organization, when you consider the future and cap space.

Personally, I pray a couple GMs both give Gutey trade packages that he simply cannot refuse, showing each to AR and letting him pick his destination of preference so he's as happy as he can possibly be, under the circumstances.

The possible trade compensation could set the Packers up for a future of success we've only dreamed of until now.

With all that said, Gutey has thrown me more curve balls than TT, and even though I was a good curve ball hitter, some of Gutey's curves have been of Major League quality...

I see nothing new added from this article so let me throw out an interesting question. Like many fans, I was not happy with the way the Packers drafted Love with no due consultation with one of the best QBs in history - at least statistically. Accordingly, I understood his reluctance to be a passive participant with the team going forward. He had a right to be pissed off AT THAT TIME.

But after experiencing this year, I now see the longer term wisdom of drafting Love and the eerie similarities to the departure of Favre. Accordingly, whether the change from AR happens this season or next, its time for a change. But unlike Favre, I would not like to see it happening in such a ugly manner. That would be unfair to GB and AR. What has complicated this inevitable change is that Rodgers is still playing at an MVP level. But he won't forever. So, if AR truly has any competitive gas left in his tank and feels that the grass is greener somewhere else, then "get along you little doggie". This is not meant in a bad way excusing my western humor. Its just that change is inevitable. So lets rip the Band-Aid off sooner than later.

Just judging from the various "To Go or Not To Go" Rodgers polls - it seems that 75%-80% of Packers fans are in favor of, or, support a Rodgers-to-elsewhere trade - for present and future assets that would be the impetus for a team re-tool. Now there is a quote that "A coach who listens to the fans ends up sitting with them." Some wisdom there - as there is for a FO knowing how to "read the room." In doing so they should realize that the conditions are now favorable for the team to pivot and lay the groundwork for the next GBP's era - should they have the vision, acumen and courage to do so.

There is one certainty.

No matter what the Packers will do with AR, he either needs to agree to a restructure or extension, or the Packers have to gut the roster, before the league year opens. Even if the Packers have a trade partner he will be a Packer to open the year which puts him on the cap sheet for day 1.

Talking about Aaron Rodgers has a bit of a clickbait feel to it but what the heck, here goes.

1. AR is no spring chicken. While he had another fine season(and bad post season) he is inching closer to that magic '40' number. To stay as good as he is at his age is remarkable, but the Packers have to ask, 'how long will it last?' Most fans draw a comparison to Tom Brady but a better comparison to Rodgers is Drew Brees. Brees hit the wall at 41. While Brady defied the odds, he's most unusual. George Blanda made it to age 48. But those QB's are rare. Brees signed a 2 year, $50 million contract a year before he retired. So do you invest that kind of money in Rodgers, given his age and the salary cap juggling it would mean?

2. Does he have the competitive drive? Brady said he largely had lost his drive so he retired. Rodgers has so many different opportunities that you wonder if showing up to a smelly locker room each day is that inviting? He doesn't need the money and he has a red carpet to broadcasting after his career.

3. Chances are the 2022 Packers will be very different. He might be looking at about an 80% turnover in the receiver corps. Does he want to school a new set of receivers?

4. Each NFL player is exactly one play away from the end of his career because of injury. When you look at Alex Smith, do you want a year rehab after a serious injury?

Regarding Adams: I would franchise him and get what they could in trade, otherwise hold onto him for one year if the offers aren't good enough. But holding onto him will likely cost one or two other veterans their jobs. He also might be ticked if AR leaves and he's being paid below market value.

We'll trade Rodgers. We'll take the third round comp pick next year for Adams, who'll be free to sign anywhere he wants (which is wherever Rodgers goes) . This is one of the all-time best pitch and catch combos and they want to keep doing it while they can. It's Adams' HOF ticket.

This is why Denver will be able to offer Jeudy in the trade for Rodgers.....they're getting Adams too.

Jeudy and the #9 pick fir Rodgers, and they sign Adams as a FA. Adams wants a double ton of money, but he'll sign for any reasonable offer that Denver extends, and Denver will be generous, because that's what ARod wants and now Denver is in "all in" mode.

Our starting WRs could be Jeudy and Lazard next year. That's not horrible.

Meanwhile, Rodgers gets to take his show to Denver, start a new life with his sweetie, and have his coach and Adams to help him on the field.

Rodgers needs to be traded if we can. There is no other desirable option. All the wishful thinking in the world doesn’t get us a good team and him from here. One without the other is a waste of time that we would be paying for for years afterwards.

Gunnar I believe you just write this article one day late. There is many things already said and wrote on the matter.

But, however, what we can conclude:
1. Aaron Rodgers is the best Packers QB ever by his stats and many of his plays (like those years when he showed that he is/was Hail Mary Master);
2. Intentionaly or not he produced very similar disturbance among Packers nation as Brett Favre did. I understand that he has competitiveness in himself, what, combined with his huge ego produced all this saga. But he is very intelligent guy for someone who believe Rogan has enough expertise to talk about any medical issue, not only infectious diseases.
3. What is most confusing in his case is that the person who thinks about himself so high on the scale and is confident in his ability in football and many different fields, showed fear because Packers drafted guy to play QB after Aaron Rodgers. Either he is well aware that Father Time came to collect due from him, and he recognize that, or Jordan Love looks much better than himself at the same age and at the same position (development QB for the future) in Packers franchise. On first sight it looks like nonsense, but what can be other reason from last year crying game he played with Packers management. Only other option can be that he has no respect for MLF, Brian Gutenkunst and Packers scouting team.
4. I only hope is that Mike Murphy will not bound BG hands by statemet like he did last year: "We are not stupid to trade MVP QB!" On that I can only say, my opinion is that if they did not exercise possibility to trade AR the statement should be: "You are so stupid not to trade MVP QB!"

This is very last from me on this issue, or question, or problem, call it as you like...

Breathless reports out of Nashville today: Rodgers has reportedly purchased land and is in the process of building a home in Franklin, Tennessee.

I'm a Green Bay Packer fan first. Not a Player hater. Throw gas on the fire all you want. The future still says Rodgers this year and next. He's No has been. He's won the MVP. Your problem is he's become Rich. And instead of going out a winner. He's staying until he wins again. The truth is Gutey drafted a Loser. A guy who hasn't won a game yet. It's the same team you want Rodgers to win with. Yet Love can't. So you created excuses for Gutey. Because you bought the All-IN. Rodgers isn't Human. And when you saw he was. It popped your bubble. Guys went down that he needed. But you expected him to do it alone. Rodgers makes players better. And if Gutey would have invested in Rodgers first. You would never have wanted him traded.

A discussion I would like to hopefully inspire in yet another Rodgers post, is to ask everyone here why a trade to Denver seems to be everyone’s dogma? Sure, it was brought up last year. Yes, Hackett went to Denver. I understand, Denver has cap room, and it makes sense. However, if we’re gonna beat the Rodgers “stay or go” horse to death, why not add some ridiculous and well, not so ridiculous theories out here to entertain ourselves with?

Why not talk about him going to the Raiders and have fun talking about what we could get for him going there? What if he goes to the Steelers? What does that look like? How about the Giants, Saints, Tampa, Panthers and so on? Do we care if he stays within the NFC? Let’s discuss that scenario. What teams out there do you think would give us the most value in a trade? Who has the higher day one picks or players we could get in return? What should we do with the trades we do get for him? Let’s have some fun and throw out other logical scenarios and even some “wishful thinking” ideas to make it more interesting.

Rodgers this and Rodgers that along with Denver this and Denver that is becoming more painful than shoving a fast-food French fry into my eyeballs repeatedly.

Just a suggestion. Crazy offseason maybe calls some crazy conversations.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week

Rodgers buying land in Nashville and building a house?
Oh oh

It is time to move on. How can Rodgers ask for more money and security when he laid an egg in the playoffs. I see a declining talent. Not in arm capability, but overcoming a good team that is holding him down. And I am seeing a change in QB in the NFL to younger players who are more resilient. So...

Trade Rodgers and get what you can get in draft choices. And load up like in 2008 when they drafted two QB's. Hopefully Gute can hit on one. Put the transition tag on Adams and then trade him and get a young WR. Won't be able to sign him anyway.

On defense keep the better of the two Smith's. Resign Campbell and Douglas. They are a fit for the Barry defense and they probably won't do well with another team.

Bitter pill to take, but the cap is the killer. No way to keep all the high priced talent.

Why can't you writers start writing articles about Jordan Love? What are his offseason plans? What is he doing to prepare for possibly the starting QB role?

If special teams did their job Packers beat the 49 ers 13 to 3 and the game goes down as a great defensive battle , then I think they beat the Rams in Lambeau, instead all we get is , “ all Rodgers fault “ , why did Lefluer make so many changes to the O line for this game , the O line was fine , maybe just put Myers at center , Yosh was fine at left tackle , maybe if Lefluer had gotten rid of Drayton sooner , but hey it’s all Rodgers fault.

If the punt is not blocked or if it is and we throw it out of the end zone and give em 2 points instead of 7, this conversation does not happen. He has a bad game but d saves the day. He rolls over rams. He comes back and trys again and gets married in offseason with a polka band doing the entertainment at some ballroom in Sheboygan.

The most curious move was dropping the 2023 year off of his contract.
Why?
Was this just a procedural move by Rodgers agent? Both Rodgers and the Packers knew his contract would have to be renegotiated this year for him to stick around in 2022 and beyond.
Do again, why drop the 2023 year off?
I don’t have an answer but I’m sure there is a reason that will become clear in the coming month.
Curious indeed 🤔

The past few drafts signaled a future pivot from AR, i.e., drafting Dillon, OL better at run blocking than pass,protection. Love is the big question mark; is he more than a game-manager? Or will Gute parlay potential draft picks from trades into a more established QB (Wilson #1, Carr #2, Marriota #3) ?. One thing for sure, an interesting offseason awaits.
