Wait, did Rodgers actually say that, or someone putting words in his mouth?

I ask, because I wonder if it might be a sign the Packers will rebuild...


As I thought the Packers had two options, 1) Rebuild by getting rid of a lot of the more expensive contracts or 2) Turn almost all the one year deals into long term deals to spread out the cap... as the NFL knows it's getting a massive cap jump in 2023, Packers would just be spending it early and could take 1-3 more cracks at the Super Bowl while keeping a majority of the team together.

Thing is though, Rodgers needs to trust his guys, or at least play like he does. It could be just me, but it seems crunch time he focuses on WR1 Adams far too much and ignores taking what defenses give him.

Well.....look what Rodgers has done when Adams wasn’t playing. He spread the ball around.
Maybe if they let Adams go, Rodgers would actually improve, as he didn’t have his “baby blanky” to watch every play.

Who wants to pay through the nose and mortgage the future for a quarterback who consistently underperforms in the playoffs? Especially after this year's showing, when greater minds than I couldn't help noticing how uninterested Rodgers appeared in the second half, how he looked like he wanted to be anywhere in the world but Lambeau Field in that moment. It was eerily reminiscent of that final playoff game against the Giants, when Favre spent the second half looking like he couldn't wait to retreat into his warm, private locker room.

Last year, I think the Packers could have named their price. After this most recent postseason debacle, not to mention all the offseason drama, not so much.
