I really doubt anyone would want to pay what they are asking for a guy with one foot out the door.
The Packers are about a gazillion dollars over the cap. Getting rid of Rodgers cuts that to about 1/2 gazillion. Plus they not only spent a first round pick on Jordan Love, they traded up to get him costing an additional 4th round pick to do so. Next year will be Love's 3rd. How long are they going to wait to find out if their investment was worth it.
Trading Rodgers makes a lot of sense. Otherwise, they're going to have to restructure and extend his contract to reduce the hit. That would make the Love pick a complete waste.
