He has all the information he needs.

1. Rodgers made it known he wanted to go to Denver.
2. The Packers are in cap hell, and made assurances to Rodgers that if he came back they would let him dictate his future in 2022.

He also has to play the Chargers and Raiders, both winning teams this year with good quarterbacks.

Looking at this objectively, Denver’s situation is very unappealing

As much as I dislike Denver, they are in better position with a top 5 quarterback to win it all over the next 3 years then Green Bay.

Packers are in less than an ideal situation cap wise and Denver has more picks as well.

As long as the Broncos don't have to overpay in draft pick compensation, going to Denver makes a lot of sense for Rodgers. Lower expectations but still a shot to win it all if Rodgers plays at a top 5 QB level.

Brady is just about gone if not gone and he only stays for another year in Tampa if it looks like Tampa Bay will reload and arguably have a little more talent than Green Bay again... While it may be easier to get through the NFC than the AFC next year with even San Francisco probably transitioning to a new QB, beating Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson, Stafford, Dak don't matter enough.

What better way for Rodgers to improve his somewhat sullied reputation than to come out ahead in a conference with Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Herbert and Lamar Jackson.

Denver right now IMO is in better position than Tampa Bay was when Tampa signed Brady. One difference with Tampa was that Brady came for a reasonable price in terms of salary. Will Rodgers be willing to play for a discount or will he demand gigantic contract commensurate with the back to back MVPs. Gronk came for a fair price in terms of salary and low price in draft compensation. And Antonio Brown/Fournette came for cheap prices. Tampa hit on a couple of key draft picks as well.

But Tampa and Denver had talent but they had issues at quarterback and other positions. Tampa improved its offensive line via the draft and Denver can use the draft as well to address needs. They have 11 picks right now.

OT in the playoffs will only get players hurt/exhausted. If you tie the score in the last minute of regulation. Even on a field goal, you have to go for two. Stop them you get the ball at the stop. Uneven score is goal.Yes I know which thread this is

These guys are going to be totally different players. Chiefs fans know how much a top 5 QB changes an offense.

If only you guys had a Travis Kelce or Tyreek Hill…

Or a Patrick Mahomes

Or an Andy Reid

I've been banging that drum for some time now, but blowmo can't get it through his little pea brain

-Traded Von Miller, with expiring contract, for 2nd/3rd rd picks;
-Hired highly respected coach w/strong ties to a certain QB;
-Soon to be sold for record-setting price.

He's not leaving GB. The only way he's not a Packer next year is if he retires.

But that won't keep the media from going on and on and on about it.

Any gm that gives up what it would take to get Rodgers and take on his current contract/give him a new 40+mill contract should be fired immediately.

You talk way too much. Do you really believe the shit you spew? Mr, "I'm calling it now, KC and NE in the AFC Championship."

Broncos signed coach Nathaniel Hackett.
Aaron Rodgers previously endorsed Hackett, 42, for a head-coaching job last year. The latter will have an opportunity to show why in his 13th season in the league, bringing along the same energy and gameplans to Denver that he presented to Green Bay's players for the last three seasons. Matt LaFleur called plays with the Packers but Hackett's Friday-led meetings and tip sheets garnered him praise throughout their roster. It's possible he brings both Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams along with him.

Dude didn’t even call plays?
