Reply to "Rodgers Wants A New Contract?"

Rodgers seems like he genuinely doesn't know what the plan for the future is. It seems kind of silly to me that LaFleur seems to trust Rodgers enough to collaborate with him to create the offense and call his own plays (which is A LOT of control/ego to surrender to a player IMO), but they don't seemingly trust him enough to share the plans for the next 3 years of his contract. They're not under any obligation to share that with him, but this guy is your MVP, he's a 15 year veteran, he's sensible and realistic, and he may have input. Maybe they don't know the plan, I hope that's not the case. You would expect the plan is 1 more year with Rodgers, after which his contract becomes more manageable to separate from, and then proceed with Love barring something screwy. You would also think Rodgers would be able to say "I feel like I have 5 more good years in me", which he basically has. Can Gute/Murphy/MLF/Rodgers not all pow wow and create a succession plan? Or make it clear they want to fulfill his contract, possibly re-up another and Love will be traded? Or agree that the team will make moves to go all-in for '21 and if they win a SB then Rodgers will retire or whatever... It's naive to think all these big egos could work out something so honest and straight forward, but I think the FO not being transparent and Rodgers publicly confronting the FO in a way is less productive and could sow some distrust in the lockerroom. Makes me worry about a hangover in '21.
