Nothing.

This almost certainly means Rodgers isn't going to retire. I can imagine (for good reason) that Rodgers would want to be the headline Hall of Famer in his class when he's inducted, as accomplished as he is. Tom Brady and maybe even J.J. Watt would steal the headlines in the 2028 class, which is when Rodgers would be eligible to be inducted if he retires this year.

This also gives the Packers more trade leverage to send Rodgers away, as he doesn't have a no-trade clause in his contract and he will be less-inclined to blow up any hypothetical trade by retiring.

On an unrelated note, since there was a recent article about Free Agents the Packers could sign, I thought I might throw a name out there: DE Demarcus Walker. Walker previously played for the Titans, and had a great year there, evidenced by his career-high 7 sacks and 17 pressures, per PFF. He was signed as a depth player, but played an increasingly large role for the Titans, who finished the year as a top-2 run defense. His market value is estimated to be at a little under 4m, so he would be affordable on a 1 year deal and hopefully he could provide a little boost to our depleted "D"

It gives Rodgers some wiggle room. Once Brady really retires, Rodgers can plan for his retirement. As has been stated multiple times here and other places, there's almost no chance that Rodgers retires the same year as Brady to avoid being overshadowed on the HOF stage.

So is this the real "For Good" from Tommy Boy?

Love gets traded.

Nags- Maybe when Rodgers retires you could go into business together, making a Peyote infused beer named, Carry the P. Slogan: If you've got the time, we've got the beer.... for your next Zen experience. Just a thought. GPG

It will mean that Brady will get a few days of media attention before Diva can wrestle it back by spouting some cryptic, passive-aggressive nonsense on McTanktop’s show.

There's nearly no chance Rodgers hangs it up to begin with, IMO.

Here's what really interests me- how big of a mistake do you think Brady realizes playing this year was in hindsight?

I mean.. If he would have retired instead of played this year, he'd probably had retired into the arms of Gisele, maybe happily ever after. He seems to have traded away that story book ending for one last shitty run at it.

Whoops.

If we could pick between losing Rodgers or Barry I choose Barry .

Nothing against Nags, who gets my MVP vote. 100%. As a matter of fact, Aaron Nagler is a unicorn-level exemplary Packer fan.

Where AR is concerned, wake me when he’s gone. Zzzzzzz!

I’ll be like: “Wait a minute! That really happened? Three years of fully expected futility wasn’t a nightmare???!!!

… yawn. How many picks did we get?”

When I “fell asleep,” the compensation general consensus was in the neighborhood of three R1s, plus day 2 picks, and a premiere player.

The biggest thing for Rodgers, if Brady really retires, is that Rodgers plays one more year and goes into the NFLHOF as the best player/QB of his class. He won't be second fiddle to Brady and that would mean a lot to Rodgers, IMO.

I hope Tom has nothing to do with Aaron's decision. It shouldn't and I don't believe Rodgers is so shallow that it would.

Wish the best for both and good luck. They have meant a great deal to football for the last couple of decades.

Pretty sure Rodgers wants to get away from MLF..what did he just say about Bisaccia, that players will respect him and play hard for him, never heard him say that about soft ass MLF....it was telling in his comments about Bisaccia...
