Colin Cowherd: βAaron Rodgers doesnβt have the rancor or bitterness that Brett Favre had in the end in Green Bay. It's now being officially acknowledged by Aaron that itβs 50/50 βthey may trade meβ category. Unlike Favre heβs not bitter, resentful, or angry and I like how that lands. Usually when you have a divorce between team and star one side has an advantage. Most would say the Packers would be in real trouble [without Rodgers], but theyβre in a very unique situation. The head coach is set, heβs an offensive head coach, the quarterback is in the building, knows the offense and is ready to play, the roster is mostly set, they have the 15th pick, they could get a first round pick or two for Aaron, and the division is still kind of wonky. They didnβt make the playoffs last year, itβs not like youβre breaking up the Bulls with Jordan here. If you can get Daniel Jones to the playoffs in a better division and a rebuilding roster, you canβt get Jordan Love? If they ever wanted to rip the Band-Aid off, itβs a pretty good time. I donβt think this would be the classic quarterback leaves, crushes the franchise, and youβre left holding the bag.β (Full Segment Above)
