It's compelling to see how 8 will handle the rest of the season if this is the end. He's clearly injured and it's limited him in a number of ways. It won't be different next year. It's up to him to come to terms and decide how he wants to play it out.

I'm sure he doesn't want to engage in a retirement tour, but I wish for himself he was having more fun. He always spoke about the brotherhood of players. He'd go a long way to repairing his reputation if he acknowledged his dreams of retiring after winning a championship are dwindling but he's respectful of the Jets giving him an opportunity and he wants to make the best of a bad situation by helping the young guys become the best versions of themselves for the future he won't be a part of. He's been living a bit of the scrooge arc. The season so far has been the night of Christmas eve. It's a game. It's supposed to be fun. Finish it with joy.

Let's be clear, Rodgers wanted to be traded to the Jets.  Adams wanted to be traded to the Raiders.  These guys made their beds and now they have to lie in them.

They desperately wanted out of a franchise that does things the right way because they perceived some slights from the Packers, well this is what happens when you get your wish.

The Packers moved on from their best two players and didn't miss a beat. Those two players are now wasting away their waning careers on a poverty franchise like the Jets.  You reap what you sow.

You seem to forget to mention not only did they demand to be traded to two of the worst franchises over the last 35+ years and be traded FROM one of the greatest franchises over that same period time PLUS the history of the league itself, they gave up on such a great opportunity for the rest of their careers. Fuck Adams! Fuck Rodgers! I don’t feel sorry for those two asswipes whatsoever πŸ–•πŸ½πŸ˜‘πŸ–•πŸ½

True. Just ask Greg Jennings and his sister.

I don't feel nearly the ill will towards Adams as compared to Rodgers. Adams was approaching his last big contract and the Packers came in low. Rodgers, on the other hand, was a whiny batch since the day they drafted Love. That chip on his shoulder became a Boulder and turned him even flakier.

I don’t have any issue with either of them wanting out, but it never seemed to me like AR was β€œall in” during his last season in Green Bay. Could just be his β€œall in” isn’t what it used to be.  That certainly seems to be the case this season.  Either way, I’m glad he’s gone.  

I hated to see Adams go but it was probably for the best.  Gute did a fantastic job (imo) drafting WRs last year and there already aren’t enough passes to spread around the current group.  Adams most definitely would have required lots of passes and that wold have slowed the progress of the rest.

Plus $$$$$

Honestly, I appreciate everything Rodgers and Adams did for my favorite team over the years.  But, ultimately they both wanted out and they got what they wished for and now they have to deal with how it all turned out. 

IMHO this allowed a franchise reset to get the cap right and to have Gute remake the roster for the long run.  It sucks moving on from favorite players but I do like the direction this team is headed.
