Report: Packers are “disgusted with” Aaron Rodgers, they’re “done with him”
This is heartbreaking news…! ;)
B)
When Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers becomes the Prince of (Four Days of) Darkness, there’s apparently one less decision for him to make.
Bob McGinn, who has covered the Packers for decades, said in a podcast with Tyler Dunne of GoLongTD.com that the team is ready to move on from Rodgers.
“They are done with Rodgers,” McGinn said, citing his own instincts, his knowledge of the league, and “discussions with someone who first-hand knowledge” of the Packers. “He’s not coming back. I mean, they’re disgusted with him, and they’re done with him. And they’re moving on.”
McGinn added that he’s “totally convinced” Rodgers won’t be back as the starter.
Boosting the belief that Rodgers will be gone, as McGinn explained it, is that the team fully believes in Jordan Love, and that the team is ready to turn the page after trading up and making Love a first-round pick in 2020.
McGinn predicts that, if Rodgers does insist on returning, he’ll be the backup to Love.
And it’s not just one person. McGinn said the entire power structure is done with Rodgers: CEO Mark Murphy, G.M. Brian Gutekunst, and coach Matt LaFleur. They think he’s not working hard anymore. They think he showed up for 2022 not in the best possible shape, and that he blew off the offseason program.
It’s a strong statement, and a compelling take. It also sets the stage for an awkward parting, with a trade inevitable — if McGinn’s report is accurate.
The situation should make it harder for the Packers to dictate terms. They reportedly want to send him to an AFC team, like they did with Brett Favre 15 years ago. Ultimately, they may have to trade him to the one team he’d want to play for, even if it’s an NFC team.
However it goes, it could indeed be that Rodgers is going. Last year, he considered walking away and decided to stay. This year, the Packers are ready to tell him to get gone.

Rodgers the Raider is possible
Wonder if he gets to keep the turd hearse…!? ;) :p 
What took them so long? A year late IMO. But McGinn is seldom wrong, so I guess it's time for Love.
That should be fun to headline. Preseason, "Do You Believe in Love." On IR, "Love Hurts." He's good, "All You Need is Love." He's bad, "Love Stinks." Bad under pressure, "You Can't Hurry Love." Slow to develop, "Love Takes Time." GM hesitates to pay him, "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That).

Don't know, McGinn has a good track record, but there is this gem
McGinn predicts that, if Rodgers does insist on returning, he’ll be the backup to Love.Perhaps McGinn is a bit enamored with love.

Does Rodgers stay or go? "For Love or Money"
Packer fan attitude "Love me long time"
Coach LaFleur after a loss "Stupid Love"
The GM right now "I Want to Know What Love Is"
Rodgers to the Packers "Love Yourself"

So . . Rodgers goes to the Jets, gets injured,
Minnesota starts retooling the defense, develop another weapon with JJ and TJ but Kirk is declining
Rodgers in purple in 2024
(we lose in the championship to the 49ers as Aaron throws a pick)
Time is a flat circle

Eerie how all this has played out the same way it did with Farve
It was GB that said no mas to Bert and sent him to NY.
After 37 seasons of HOF QB play, GB's window is now closed.
Nope.
Dont care.
I come from that “special generation” of Vikings fans, where you see GB on the schedule, and write in the W in ink. You know.... Those GB teams that played half their games in Milwaukee, to draw ANY money at the gate.

Yeah, they were always the Hunter, not the hunted....
Well shit. Imagine in the draft haul they’ll get.
McGinn is credible as it gets. Not sure I'm buying into this though.
If its true, Raider fans should be excited.
Maybe they will trade him to Denver and Wilson gets to go back to sconni.
He went from MVP to NVG. Not very good. He has benefitted from playing in a weak division then shats the bed in the playoffs. I hope nobody wants to pay his overinflated salary and he returns to GB. The Packers are dysfunctional with a QB that doesn't want to put in the work anymore by showing up for training camp and thinks he knows more than the GM and coaching staff.
Green Bay is going nowhere with Rodgers, and I think they know that.

The fact this has gone no where yet emboldens me to say McGinn may not be right this time.

Sure, fences can be mended, but I'd be pretty surprised if he's back in Green Bay. I just don't think anyone there wants him back. Ownership, management, coaching staff. Sounds like they're ready to move on.

Now, now - there is a big difference between friends and acquaintances...What I mean is there are no whispers, no Adams and other Raiders taking to twitter with cryptic emjois and messages..
