Around the NFL: NFL Offseason

[MTK]

Watched the AR presser and I had zero problems with his rationale. Sure he sounds like a diva but is he wrong? The only reason players go to GB is to have a chance to win and he's the main reason they are a contender year in and year out. I wish we had those "problems".

I've never been to Green Bay but after spending 4 plus years in Buffalo he is right about the vacation part lol

People go there because there are only 32 teams and every spot in the NFL is extremely valuable. People will be signing with Green Bay long after he leaves.

Did Preston Smith sign with GB because Rodgers was there or they offered him the most money? My guess would be the money.

Maybe a veteran receiver will sign a contract there partly because of him. But I don't think that's the same for most other positions.

The guy is a d-bag.

Unless he ends up on our team somehow, I hope he never wins another ring.

He can cry a river right into retirement.

Honestly, listening to the press conf, I didn't have any issues with his arguments. Yes his presence is a factor that can help attract good players, and yes when your 17 seasons HoF QG says he wants to be more involved in decision making... you listen ! He seems to be a pain in the A, but as a franchise you can NOT let the dialogue and relationship break as GB's FO seems to have done.

My issue is, after publicly ripping the FO this way, how is this not going to affect the general mood in the building, and ultimately in the locker room ? How does the coach feel about it ?
It won't affect AR's level of play, but Football is still a team sport...
