No more guaranteed money... and something like 30 million plus owed if they kept him so he'll be cut or traded. I really don't see anyone wanting him next year. Besides being old he's a real asshole. |

Why? He sucks. Only thing he's good at is drilling balls into the ground. |

I do not think Aaron would fit with Steelers. My guess here is Darnold or Cousins |

He is so particular and demanding at this point that its going to be hard to find a team willing to bring him in. I could see the Steelers over most teams as they are kind of in a win now or rebuild place. |

If Wilson had played as many games, their stats would have been very comparable (actually RW’s would have been a tad better). I can’t imagine the Steelers believe AR is what they need to get past the Chiefs, Ravens, Bills, et. al. |

Is he going to have to lock himself in a dark room for 5 days to figure out his next move? |

he's still talented/skilled enough to play in NFL, but not worth the drama he brings. wouldnt shock me if no one calls with a starting job... maybe steelers since their organization is strong enough to deal with him. |

Does Aaron Rodgers actually do anything bad? He certainly never gets into any sort of legal trouble and I don’t think he’s ever really poisoned a locker room (at least not the way Jaylon Johnson did this year for the Bears). He just isn’t a giant fucking lib? Really? Is that enough to be say one of the best quarterbacks ever isn’t worth the headache but guys like Tyreek Hill and Joe Mixon are? OK, seems pretty fucking baseless if you ask me. The same people who want to give Henry Ruggs III a second chance are usually the ones that want to see Aaron Rodgers get the Pete Rose treatment from the NFL. |

He was a darling of NFL fans and media types when it was just NFC North fans who hated him for doing his championship belt celebration while knocking their dicks in. They'd collectively all look the other way at his eccentricities like obviously hating his entire family, with some even running interference for Rodgers when people would wonder too loudly if was into guys. Then he didn't not support Donald Trump, and then he made fun of their COVID hysteria, and all of a sudden there was ink spilled about how football players are just dumb jocks and we shouldn't listen to what they have to say, anyway. |

It has nothing to do with his politics nor the fact that he’s a bit of a nut job. The problem is that he is no longer a top tier quarterback, but he still believes he is. If he were still good then none of his off field peccadillos would matter. |

I don’t think you can disconnect the personal criticism from the COVID era Rodgers controversies. He started taking a ton of heat while winning back to back MVPs, so it’s not solely his play. |

It’s definitely not the family thing. For one, that goes back a decade plus at this point. He was still Mr. State Farm then. Plus his most vicious haters who criticize him for that are the same people who write think pieces like “If your Trump supporting father goes into cardiac arrest at Thanksgiving, should you perform CPR?” so I don’t want to hear a fucking PEEP about it. |

He can still play QB at a very high level but he probably isn't someone who is just going to show up and fit into an offense. He is probably going to want a certain offense and certain coaches and certain receivers. Can the Titans provide that for him? I don't see it with the Raiders. The Steelers are in a position where he could fit timeline wise but they have an absolute bitch of a WR, an OC he doesn't know and its cold there and he isn't great when it gets cold anymore. Then again who knows where his head is it. He is completely capable of thinking everyone is writing him off and willing to re-invent himself with a new staff, offense and players. Maybe he would be the complete opposite of the stubborn and demanding guy he was with the Jets. I wonder if he would go to the Vikings with another chip on his shoulder fueling him. |

Minnesota is just the perfect situation in terms of supporting cast. If he has one more great year in him he will absolutely thrive there. Brian O’Neill, Christian Darrisaw, Jordan Addison, TJ Hockenson and Justin Jefferson with 2021 Aaron Rodger’s at the helm is possibly breaking records. And if its week five and he’s floundering & clearly cooked? You go to the kid to save your season. It’s alluring enough that I think the Vikings really should just sign him March 13th and let Sam Darnold walk. Don’t play the tag-and-trade game, just thank him for the fun year and wish him the best in Vegas or Cleveland or whatever. |

My point was that nobody (meaning team GMs) would care if he were still a top 10 QB. He’s not and hasn’t been for 3 yrs. I don’t anticipate that changing as he approaches 42. |

His problem is he wants a ton of control and isn't worth it anymore. You have to hire his player buddies who havent been good in 5 years, and have to hire his coaches like Hackett who are worthless. You have to run his preferred west coast offense from a bygone era that just isn't effective anymore beyond making his surface level stats look impressive. I don't really buy the off field distraction angle but it probably doesn't help to have him on pat mcafee every week when your team is going 7-10 and thats what you're signing up for with him at this point. |

I personally think his ability to be a bad teammate and an organizational headache is under-reported. Minnesota is better off with either of the existing QB's...both are less risk. Pittsburgh and Tennessee might be better options....organizationally, I would think Pittsburgh is smart enough to stay clear of Rodgers. |

He's literally not been a top 10 QB since the 2021 season. |

NFL.com had him ranked 23rd (after Russell Wilson) for this past season. Even if you think he’s better than that, there is nobody in the top 12 he would replace. Personally I’d have in the 18-20 range. |

Hawg Ass wrote: 7th in touchdowns and 8th in yards He was among the worst in yds per pass as well as completion percentage - which is not a good combo. He was also 25th in total QBR. The numbers you’ve listed are boosted by the fact that he played every game. His yds/game ranked 17th for example. That said, where do you rank him? |
