@CUPackFan posted:I think Rodgers' issues make sense from the player point of view, but it's just not reality and never will be. Teams will always cut high priced vets in favor of cheaper youngsters. And the minute Rodgers can't perform on the field, he'll be cut too. It's a ruthless place. Always has been and always will be.
Keep in mind Rodgers voted No on the latest CBA as a player rep because he thought the players were giving way too much power to the owners, and he seemed pretty pissed when it passed and people weren't listening to his rationale.
While this isn't the NBA, perhaps his thinking is if he can force the org to give him some say in GB, like Brady got in Tampa, it could start a trend league-wide to take some of the power back from the owners that the players lost in the CBA. Given he always thinks 8 moves ahead, I wouldn't put it past him that this is one of the other goals here.
