I just don't get if he had such an issue with them drafting Love, why he didn't complain in the 2020 offseason as opposed to 2021 offseason. Ever since the TB playoff loss, he has been a malcontent. Everyone knows he's going to play this year. Might as well quit with the drama now.

Yeah I'm with you... I'm not taking GB FO off the hook for managing to ruin the relationship with a HoF QB, but at some point I don't get how you can let your feelings get in the way of one the most well paid job in the world.
In ANY job you're gonna have to deal with assholes... ain't being a superstar and earning millions of dollars each year to play ball enough to work through that ?

Well my brother lives right next to Green Bay….and a lot of people there believe an asshole is involved in the situation and they aren’t in the front office…..they’re throwing passes…..

Well we're all somebody else's asshole, but yeah my point in short was grow up and deal with it, it can't be THAT bad.

Agreed. If Aaron ain’t happy and 35 million a year won’t make him happy I can easily take whatever he has to put up with for half the price.

That tends to be the felling everywhere. He got the old HC and OC fired and got the people he wanted ,now the soon to be 38 year old QB is mad because the team drafted his back up / replacement? To hell with Rodgers , the front Office has to do what's best for the team.

Also what else is GB supposed to do at this point? They are attempting to appease him and pay him to be the highest paid qb already. People may think I'm nuts, but at this point if Love looks sharp I may consider trading him for an enormous king's ransom.

Reasons:

1) He's a malcontent and suddenly has a bad attitude.
2) He's also 38 years old.
3) Send a message to not tolerate any BS at all.


Again, this would only be an option if Love looks ready to go. If this occurs, and a team dangles 3 1st rounders in front of me I would listen at this point. Throw in a stud starter at a position of need also and call it a day. Could you imagine if GB did trade him and blindsided him? That would be nuts.

What always kills me about these situations is when these guys demand to be paid what they are and then bitch that the teams don’t get them complimentary players in free agency. Ummm….thing called a salary cap and that means a team can’t spend unlimited money. But then don’t pay them and they feel “dissed”. 🤦*♂️🙄

The timing is absurd. He should have complained about it last offseason not this one. Once his pockets start to get hit, he'll show up. This really is starting to tarnish his legacy some. Just play dude.
