‘Tis the season for passive-aggressiveness! Russell Wilson is back at it, scrubbing his Twitter account of all things Seattle Seahawks. For a calculated guy, it’s no doubt an ultra-calculated move. Readers of Go Long may recall how close Wilson was to being a Chicago Bear in 2021.
So, let’s hear it. How will the quarterback dominoes fall this spring? The best guess here is that the last domino to tip in 2021 (Aaron Rodgers) is the first in 2022. All of the Green Bay Packers’ contract restructuring — and the return of Tom Clements — sure suggests Rodgers will be back with the Packers.
Where will Wilson land? And Deshaun Watson? And Jimmy Garoppolo? And… should we really believe Tom Brady is finished? This offseason could be one wild ride. Surely, there will be a player moved that we aren’t even talking about, too.
Fire away with your best predictions and/or what you want to see below.
Please, oh please trade Rodgers. Let Love play in a system designed for him, with a heavy emphasis on the running game and a quick passing concept. Along with their improving defense, they should be able to compete in the NFC North. Gotta make the move sooner than later. Rip off the Rodgers band aid!
If Gutekunst is be truthful about NO trade talks for Rodgers and GB gets the same results next year, won't his job be on the line? Jeez, Bob was right, Rodgers is a playoff loser. Seek a trade!
He was also grinning like a schoolboy when he said it. He's about to trade Rodgers for a king's ransome. He just cant say anything yet or its technically tampering.
Watson is poison. He's staying with the Texans. Rodgers? I'm tired of it all. Just Go or Stay. I care not. No idea as to where Wilson is going. Maybe Steelers?
The cap moves the Packers have already made could make the possibility of trading Rodgers for picks unworkable. They are mortgaging the future, and shortening their window, way too much to start with someone new. So much dead cap money coming. The Bears did this a few years back and ended up not being able to keep Kyle Fuller this year. All this for a QB who shrinks in Lambeau in January.
I don’t think Wilson will go to Chicago, they’ve got Fields. Miami? Maybe. I could see GBP trading Rodgers to SF. Jimmy comes to GB and gives Love one more year of development. I’d definitely like to see some of those other Niners in Green and Gold.
They have Bosa, Aiyuk, plus 2nd and 3rd round picks. Bosa is a 24 year old generational talent gamewrecker who would make the Packers defense elite and Aiyuk is a 1st round talent to help offset the loss of Adams, whom they should just let walk and take the comp pick. I'd be more than happy trading Rodgers for Bosa, Aiyuk, and a combo of 2nd and 3rd rounders. Then Packers might actually beat the 49ers in the playoffs lol
Exactly. They could throw in Debo too! It seems as though Rodgers is going to return to GB in 2022. Wonder how much complaining there’s going to be next year when he’s essentially able to walk away and we’ll get nothing in return. I’m ready to watch a young team that gives max effort.

Not sure why no one is suggesting this, but what would be wrong with a Kyler Murray for Rodgers trade?
Go from one entitled brat to another? No thanks. I'm happy with Jordan Love. Trade Rodgers for other pieces to solidify the roster around Love.

Rodgers is staying in Green Bay. He is too concerned about his long-term image to go through the upheaval of leaving the Packers.
I like football
Total bold/hot take: Watson for Murray
3 way trade: Pack #9, CB Surtain, LB Chubb to Green Bay. Rodgers to Denver. Adams to Chicago, Z Smith to Minny. Lolz

They were going to have to shed like $50 million in cap space with or without Rodgers so I dont think these moves tell us much one way or the other.
Dude, all the moves are positioning them in the future, regardless if Rodgers or Adams' takes a snap in G.B.
Could Brady be waiting for Tampa to take a big swing at QB (Watson?) Then come back to force his way out (to SF?)

SF has no assets. They would have a much better chance of landing Brady.
