I don't know why we don't ask Football Karen's parents what they think Karen wants?  They know how to make him happy.  Oh wait...I might be wrong on this.

This is what I've been trying to tell everyone since this broke...  Rodgers feels betrayed.  It wasn't ever about money...  it was all right there in the Kenny Mayne interview.  He doesn't have a problem with Jordan Love the person, but he is ticked off that the Packers dictated the timeline of his career by trading up to take Love (his replacement).  Rodgers must have said "we forget that people make an organization" like 20 times in that interview...

IMO, the only way this ends is with Rodgers sitting out all year or getting traded at some point during training camp. Why would he change gears and give them one more season so they can trade him next year? 
It's possible, but I think you're wrong about how it ends. I don't think the Packers are willing to trade him this year and I don't think, at his age, he's willing to sit out a year. I'm betting if there's not already, there will be an agreement that if he plays the season, Packers agree to trade him next year. 

If he's not going to play, why not just say so? You'd think that would force the Packers' hand. All his comments have been ambiguous and noncommittal and his intentions have been expressed by those "close to him." There has been no point at which Rodgers has been quoted as saying something like "I'm not playing for the Packers this year." 
As far as what I've read, a lot of his "close friends" have said THEY think Rodgers and the Packers will work it out, but Rodgers hasn't told them what his plans are.

I think he hasn't come out and said he won't play because he doesn't want to look like the bad guy in all this.  Half he fan base blames him and the other half is blaming the Packers.  If he comes out and says he isn't playing, the whole fan base turns against him and I don't think he wants that.  He very much cares about his public image.

We'll see what happens, but IF it's true that this isn't a money deal, and it's more about him being upset with the philosophy of the organization and feeling forced out on their terms...  then I don't think he'll play for a season just so the Packers can trade him next year.  The NFL landscape could completely change and I think he wants a fresh start.  I'm sure the Packers would love that, but it doesn't make any sense for Rodgers. There are some attractive teams without an established QB he could walk into and compete right now and the Packers can start their future that they drafted last year.
I don't think their future is anywhere near ready to start. That's why they want the year from Rodgers. But I hope you're right and he tells them to **** off.

While this is all wonderful, angst producing drama for the worst fan base in the NFL, I think ultimately he reports. There's being stubborn, and there's being stupid. Rodgers has $35 million reasons not to be stupid.

Like a lot of older players, I felt he was just posturing to get out of a lot of the off season training. I feel like the press has gotten a little carried away. He hasn't really said much of anything. 
I expect him to show up sometime during training camp and nothing will have changed.
Sure hope I'm wrong though.

The Mayo Clinic research group defines narcissistic personality disorder as “a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.”
Passive-aggression can be defined as anger, hostility, and/or learned helplessness in disguise, expressed in covert ways to "even the score" and gain an underhanded advantage.
While many narcissists come across as openly grandiose and outwardly intrusive, some narcissists utilize passive-aggressive tactics as a primary way of fulfilling their selfish needs or to exact “punishment” on those who fail to cater to their whims.

I am not saying I buy this but they are definitely milking it for all it's worth.
