The Real Wildcards This Offseason

Who? THE COLTS & AARON RODGERS

Oddsmakers aren't counting out Indy-Rodgers by any means after Steichen joined the fold.

Now THIS, I find interesting.  

Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman, a good OL coming back from an injury plagued season, the easier division in the AFC, and the most wildcard owner in the league.  

If Indy lands Rodgers, Pick 4 is far from being guaranteed QB.  Bears may not have as many suitors for #1 overall, and we could be in a great spot to not have to trade it all away.  

This right here could crack this league wide open.  

Scenario:

1. Bears: Carter DT

2. Texans: Levis QB

3. Arizona: Anderson EDGE

4. Colts: ....or is it the Packers who have Love? 

Then come pick 5, Stroud, Young, Richardson are all still available...

Interesting scenario… the Carr, Rodgers and Jackson carousel can really fug up mock drafts … all worth staying close to. 
 

we will know the true outcomes of these individuals by end of March.

Not sure it would matter. If the Packers are at 4, wouldn’t it be their opportunity to replace Rodgers. If they are feeling like they aren’t a contender anymore and trade Rodgers then I’d assume they’d want to build around a rookie. Seems like 4 would be a QB either way. I think it’s hopium saying the Packers go to 4 and go another position.

You don’t think the packers are ready to move forward with Love? The QB rumored to be traded is Rodgers, not Love. You’d have to assume that the Packers are confident in love if they are willing to move Rodgers.

 

i doubt the Packers trade Rodgers to draft another QB. 
 

Packers GM just 5 weeks ago: “We really like the development of where Jordan is,” Gutkeunst said at his end of season press conference on Jan. 13. “I think he’s ready to play. I think that’s the next step in his development. Those guys work well together in the room. … We are very excited about Jordan, and where he’s at, there’s no doubt about that.”

[Mr. Scot]

Latest speculation has been the Packers have no intention of trading him.

And speculation is always right. Again, if the Packers get pick 4, I’d bet money on a QB. I’m not saying they don’t like Love but if they trade Rodgers for pick 4, I don’t think they avoid Stroud or Levis or Young for a guy with 83 passes in 3 years.

I’d take that bet tbh. My buddy knows the packers the same as I know the panthers. The way he speaks about love and the other needs on that roster… I don’t see how the packers would draft a QB.  Love isn’t a bad QB. When he had his up to bats last year… he didn’t turn over the ball and still ran a functional offense. 
 

I’d think the packers go pass rusher or oline with the 4, or even trade back. However, they wouldn’t go QB.

Rodgers just needs to go away....but only after the draft. we don't need another QB hole needing filled to clutter up our pursuit.

Let him get traded to some QB needy team and let the packers go ahead and promote love to the starting gig.

Indy, go ahead and trade for him, please.

I agree but for different reasons.

You know conversations between Aaron Rodgers and Jim Irsay would be comedy gold

Or we just go for a SB this year and trade 9 and some for him. The only non negotiable pick being 2024’s first which we draft Cam Ward or J Daniel’s with late 1st who learns behind him while we get 2 Lombardis.

Land Rodgers, get desperate vets wanting a ring on discount. 

Musgrave R2

Some defense for the rest…

SB

jk

or am I?…

[saX man]

But to the point… Irsay and Rodgers are the two that could swerve the entire trajectory of things league wide. 

More than Carr, NY teams and Todd

yeah i'm not sure what i would like to see more...the rodgers/irsay conversations or rodgers having to deal with the new york press. the guy is an attention whore who doesn't like people talking about him. he wants to throw out controversial comments on the regular, but no one criticizing him. go figure. 

he's turned into a clown show. great player...horrible guy to have on your team. same with russel wilson. at least we thought he was a great player. turns out to be just an incredibly lucky narcissist.

We could also do what I call the Fresno package:

Derek Carr (FA) & Jake Haener (R3)

Trade back a tad for an extra future 1st (Could be a high 2024 pick or ammo for Caleb if it doesn’t work)

Land Jordan Addison, Dalton Kincaid & Charbonett and flier mid round weapons

QB: Carr/Haener/Corral

RB: Charbonnet/Foreman/Blackshear

TE: Kincaid

WR: Moore/Addison/TMJ/Reed
