He has been exploring other things outside of football. I'm not sure he loves the game like he used to. I think he still is going to play because he has a celebrity fiancee and he needs the cache of playing in the NFL to keep his lifestyle. Some of it is definitely based on their drafting Love when he wanted more weapons. But, I don't think Denver would be that much of an upgrade for him. And, I feel that it would be a tougher road in the AFC to get to the SB vs. his staying in GB because the NFC is pretty weak (except for the Bucs). I don't think he would want to play in Washington. He would be better off just returning to GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair, but we're seeing more and more QBs stick around longer. Ben is 38. Rivers hung em up after he turned 39. Obviously Brady. Even Brees had a solid year considering and he was 41. I don't think Rodgers will be tossing 40+ TDs well into his 40s, but I think he can still be extremely productive for the next few seasons before hitting the wall.

Hanging on and performing at a high level , are 2 different things Brady takes care of himself , and more importantly he loves the game .

Brady is the exception I'm not saying he's going to be Brady, but I don't think it's unreasonable to think he'll play extremely well for 2/3 more seasons before starting to decline. 5 minutes ago, downundermike said: And so it begins.

He should come out and say it then , stop trying to play the victim as to me in Maryland , not here all the time , I have a place in SC .

Connecticut Eagle Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 Rogers doesn't need more money. He wants some of the same postseason success that Brady achieved. He's upset with the way their FO has not given him the tools he feels he needs to accomplish this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well discuss it; training camp hasn't even started yet. My two cents? He's under contract. Play in GB or retire. That won't be what happens, though. The Packers will cave and give him more money -- and when they lose in the playoffs again Rodgers will blame everyone except himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham was expected to sign with the Giants and was close to joining the Eagles’ NFC East rival, but Kelly lured Graham back. Kelly was criticized for signing Graham instead of Trent Cole, who signed a two-year, $16 million deal with the Colts. But Cole only recorded 5.0 sacks the rest of his career. Graham has 34 since then. And he recorded one of the biggest plays in franchise history in the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
