Green Bay Packers dealt with the most drama on NFL Draft night. Many people thought it would be the San Francisco 49ers and their third pick. Or a team trying to draft a quarterback. Instead, it belonged to the Green Bay Packers who dealt with their own quarterback issues. ESPN and others reported that Rodgers wants out of Green Bay and does not desire to return to the team. This is stemming from Green Bay drafting Jordan Love in the first round last year. If you don’t remember Brett Favre in 2008, this has a tinge of it. We’re not fully there yet. But it’s begun. So what’s the end game here. We’ll do our best to list them all

1. Everyone goes back to normal and the Packers stay status quo: Fat chance, right? It seems hard for me to believe that everything can remain the same and nothing is needed to change what’s currently going on. That said, it’s a potential option. You cannot dismiss that Green Bay figures it out, and a ‘disgruntled’ Rodgers returns for one more ride.

2. Jordan Love gets dealt – Keep an eye on this today. Green Bay Packers couldn’t get a first-rounder for Love despite him probably falling in the Justin Fields-Mac Jones tier. They could likely get a second-rounder. With the immense amount of talent still available, could they move up to Denver’s spot and trade Love? Maybe the Denver and Green Bay smoke wasn’t Rodgers, but it’s Love?

3. Aaron Rodgers holds out – This is definitely on the table. Rodgers decides not to report to camp. He has enough money that I don’t think not getting paid will affect him. Also, this would probably open the door for Rodgers to be the full-time host of Jeopardy if the show wants him to do that.

4. Aaron Rodgers get dealt – Green Bay said yesterday that they were not trading Aaron Rodgers. Brian Gutekunst seemed rather adamant that this will not happen. Things change though. Rodgers would get dealt to an AFC team. Who that team is, I don’t know. Denver would likely be the favorite given their roster and who they could make available. The package would be massive. The deal cannot happen until June 1st though. Right now if Green Bay traded him, it would be a $38 million cap hit. It goes down post-June 1st.

5. Aaron Rodgers retires – If that happens, it’s very similar to number three. Green Bay still has his rights for a few more years. He cannot retire, come back, and be on a new team. It doesn’t work that way. That said, I’m sure some media members will make a case for this.

We’ll see what the outcome is for the Packers and Rodgers. Gutekunst seems to acknowledge that they fucked this whole thing up last year by not telling him about Love. Now, can Green Bay do enough to make their star player happy?
