middlegatv 2,217 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21863467/teams-complain-nfl-green-bay-packers-violated-ir-rule-think-aaron-rodgers-released The NFL won't follow thru on this because, well, because they are the NFL. So, no, Aaron Rodgers won't be wearing a Falcons jersey anytime soon but in some's imagination. But it would be mighty hilarious to see Packers fans in an EPIC meltdown if the NFL testicled-up and made the Packers release him. And one does wonder how many seconds it would take Jerry Jones to boot the over-glorified Dak Prescott to the curb to sign Rodgers?

Mescalito 1,848 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Haha, no way the packers are going to have to release Rodgers. But if they did, he would be subject to waivers and yeah, the Browns would get him. That would be crazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I may be wrong but I think due to his length of service, Rodgers wouldn't go thru the waiver process but instead be FREE to sign with any team but the Packers. Not that it matters because I expect it to get resloved "somehow" in the Packers favor just like when the NFL told all of us that our eyes were lying to us about Bennett going after the Jags center's knees saying he was just going after the ball.

middlegatv 2,217 Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Ah he11, I'll go all in on the conspiracy theory: IF, and I highly doubt it, the NFL forces the Packers to release Rodgers, there is no way in he11 they'll let the Browns sign him.

1989Fan 16,127 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Don’t think there is anything that they cannot re-sign him. It isn’t a penalty for the Packers, but an NFL rule for IR. Since he isn’t on a rookie contract he won’t need to go to waivers, and would instantly be able to sign with any team. he would still have to agree where he signed, which he would stay in GB, and he will be getting a new deal in 1-2 years anyways, so this would just expedite the process for them. that said, this situation will just go away.

marvinthemartian 5,430 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Please.....a Christmas Message miracle.....Rodgers to Cleveland!!! Let’s see him say “R-E-L-A-X I’m in Cleveland lol” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marvinthemartian 5,430 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Packers will keep him. If anything, the NFL might fine GB or even take away a very low draft pick but no way do they make a star team give up its star player over this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jlrfalcon 4,103 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Rodgers = the beat-up old sportscar that needs repairs (but could go 100+ mph based on prior performance) Ryan = the slightly less old family car that rarely needs repairs but doesn't get 100 mph without some motivation The Falcons do not need the stress of Rodgers around. They would be better off spending money upgrading elsewhere. As for Rodgers leaving GB, the NFL has enough bad publicity this year and would come across as the real bad guy if they force his release.

mc 777 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) I would take 2 qbs over Ryan and he is one. Edited December 24, 2017 by mc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RoddyWhite84 3,519 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Lmao I hope the NFL makes it happrn..but if this is indeed part of the rules then yeah bye bye Rodgers and soo many ppl are gonna get fired over this lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james b 917 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, Birdy Dird said: I think GB will claim Rodgers sustained a new injury and circumvent the rule that way. Rich McKay just stated that it has to be a new injury, which you stated but he expanded on this saying the new injury has to be substantial enough that the player would be out six weeks so not just any injury would work.

1989Fan 16,127 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I guess my question is, do the packers feel they are untouchable or is their front office that clueless that they didn’t know the rules? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChickenBiscuit 6,129 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Julio would probably have a 2k yard season with ARod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
