Aaron Rodgers may pull a Carson Palmer and threaten to retire if not traded, per report

Did you ever think Aaron Rodgers would get a Carson Palmer comparison?

Well, it’s not for the best, as Rodgers is now in a situation similar to what Palmer went through in 2011. Rodgers wants out of Green Bay, and the management views him as a long-term part of their franchise.

That’s similar to what happened to Palmer in the sense that he wanted to be traded in 2011, but was told he was a critical part of the Cincinnati Bengals. Team owner Mike Brown eventually traded Palmer after drafting Andy Dalton in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft, though the trade didn’t come until the 2011 NFL Trade Deadline.
