Rodgers wants out of Green Bay. San Fran is on his wish list and they have interest.

If Green Bay gets pick 3 QB is not the pick with Jordan Love there.

For this to be true, ownership and Joe Burrow's preference of Chase would take a backseat to Zac Taylor's preference of Sewell, even though their OL coach (Pollack) has Slater rated higher.

Does Zac have that kind of pull?  "Hey, I know you, you and you all have this opinion on a certain player.  But I want this position taken instead, and I want this player who my newly hired OL coach can't even agree with me on."

If they're going Sewell then I gotta believe there's more people than Zac that have him as their #1 choice.

Pick 3 would be a great start to the trade and really shakes up the draft.

Last year they traded up to take a QB in round 1 and drafted another running back in round 2.  They essentially drafted 2 backups.  This after basically running out of receivers the previous year because of injury and because Adams was only their real weapon.

They also haven't given him a new extension.  His roster bonuses have expired and there's no guaranteed money left on his deal.  The Packers also have an out after this season. 

I think the draft last year and the lack of commitment to him money wise have really soured things.  He's the reigning MVP and he's basically got  a 2 year 50 million dollar deal with 0 guarantees at this point.  Plus his got a big time prospect playing him behind him that's breathing down his neck.

(04-29-2021, 06:35 PM)NUGDUKWE Wrote: Yeah Schefter broke the story so there's definitely some truth to him wanting out. Probably from lack of input with draft and free agency would be my guess they take Love last year and probably aren't showing interest in his input this year. 

When I heard the news I was trying to think about a team with a decent roster that would be interested and make a run at a superbowl like Denver did with Manning and Tampa with Brady. I didn't think about San Fran. But that makes a ton of sense. I'd love the shock value of that trade. Not sure how it would affect us.

(04-29-2021, 06:37 PM)Hammerstripes Wrote: Chase or Pitts at #3.

Although I'm not sure the 49ers have enough ammo to make that trade.  They gave up 2 more first rounders to move up.  I can't see them being able to give the Packers the value they need - unless they throw in a guy like Bosa.

(04-29-2021, 06:42 PM)NUGDUKWE Wrote: Yeah I was trying to think who Green Bay would take. What if they just traded him for the #3 overall straight up then turned around and traded it to the highest bidder. That would be some crazy draft drama.

(04-29-2021, 06:43 PM)Hammerstripes Wrote: I could see that, but I just can't see them giving up enough without parting with some of their key guys.

Now, a team that could do it would be either Miami or NY.  Both have the draft picks.  Miami is actually set up pretty good.

It's just the most Bengals situation ever, so I am sure it'll happen if they trade back.
