Ut oh cheeseheads....

The letter agreement between the NFL and NFL Players Association from Tuesday of this week does indeed grant broad powers to all players to opt out of the 2021 season, regardless of whether they opted out in 2020 or whether they have been diagnosed with a higher-risk condition since October 1, 2020. Although such players would be entitled to no stipend for 2021, any player who executed his most recent contract before October 1, 2020 can indeed opt out voluntarily, no questions asked as to motivation or qualification or possible ulterior motive.
This includes, most notably, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. By next Friday, July 2, he can pull the plug on the 2021 season. It would be a permanent and irrevocable decision, but he can do it.
The benefit to doing so comes from the fact that he would not forfeit $11.5 million in unearned signing bonus money for 2021 if he opts out. Also, he presumably would still receive the payments on the $6.8 million roster bonus that he earned in March, and that is due to be paid out in weekly installments during the season.
That’s $18.3 million that he’ll keep by opting out. If he doesn’t opt out but holds out, he loses that $18.3 million — and would be fined roughly $2 million on top of it for skipping training camp.
The problem with opting out is that it requires a fairly quick decision, and the decision cannot be changed. But if Rodgers truly is thinking about staying away for all of 2021, there are 20.3 million reasons for making a final and binding decision in the next seven days.

This is a critical, pivot point right here...

Who's going to blink first? My $ is on Rogers.

Yeah it's too soon. Not enough time for the savory and satisfying public bickering and name calling. I was really looking forward to that.

I think if Rodgers let's 7/2 go by without opting out, everyone will see that as fairly convincing evidence he's coming back.

$20 million. S Woodley and not having to be in GB for the fall and winter??? 

He is nuts if he doesnt opt out

Much as we poke fun at Rogers, I think there still beats a competitive heart in there...

GB has been in the last 2 NFCCG's...They are favorites to get back and certainly to win the Norris again. 

If their D didnt give up 37 and then 31 pts?  

I think the chance to get back with the window/roster they have is going to be too compelling to pass-up. 

We'll see soon enough...

Never underestimate Rodgers’ stubbornness…  B)

Very good point...

I think the Brownies offered him more $ or guaranteed $ too?

At the end of the day, you have to conclude it's about the culture, coaches, team-mates and area???  Any and/or all of em.

I hope he plays. Because their roster doesn't match up.
