'This thing is going nuclear,' said one NFL exec; all Rodgers need do, said an NFL agent, is play the retirement card

Crazy to me that the Packers with him are only going to have the one championship. Don't get me wrong, as a Vikings fan I would kill my firstborn for just the one, but they should've had more. 4 straight NFC championship appearance losses and the last one at home must hurt.
Big time underachievement. Same for Brees in New Orleans, too. I've always had a slight distaste for Rodgers since he is a Packer, but he always has this air of I'm the coolest person in the room, and what I do will work. Not sure a good way to describe it really, but annoyed the crap out of me. So, seeing this play out for them has me smirking just a little bit, and it certainly wouldn't hurt the Vikings chances in the division, either.
A-A-ron has a reputation of being a-a-rrogant.
I thought his comments after the game Sunday were just his being a little butthurt immediately after the loss, but I'm not sure now.
The piece indicates the Rodgers could be upset the Packers drafted Love over getting more help for him, then immediately argues that Rodgers could use the threat of retirement to get out of town at any moment. From the Packers' perspective, Jordan Love is an insurance policy against that, and why they needed to draft one. And Rodgers can't say the Packers don't want him there, they just gave him ridiculous money that will come with a nearly $38 million dollar cap hit just for himself the next two years (more than 20% of player dollars for the whole team.)
The old school Ron Wolf Packers would draft an MF'n quarterback every year. Rodgers might not even be in Green Bay if it weren't for that, they already had a HoF QB when they drafted him.
As great as he is, drama follows this guy around. It must be exhausting to be his team mate.

Rodgers' post game is just more sore loser Aaron. What happened to the pleasant, kinder, Peru inspired Rodgers who was having the most fun, MVP season? He lost. Again.
Telling Packer fans that he doesn't know what comes next, with three years on his contract, is just reverting back to his jerky, zen filled arrogant persona.
It appears he has taken his cue from his predecessor. Honestly, the packers should cut him or trade him. It doesn’t make sense to take a QB in the first round and not take advantage of the cap room from a young QB. That’s how you build a team in the NFL these days, draft a QB and load up on talent while he is in his rookie contract.
Dude can sling it but just comes off as a **** a lot of the times. He seems like the guy that always thinks he knows just a bit more about any topic that comes up in conversation.

He's not getting crazy money compared to others. He's something like the fifth or sixth highest paid QB in the league in 2021, coming off of an MVP season. I don't care much for Rodgers, but I wouldn't blame him if he wanted to get paid like the best QB in the league. Maybe not the 45 million that Mahomes is getting, but certainly more than Jared Goff.
