Last week we went over the depressing topic of Aaron Rodgers Trade Destinations – despite the overwhelming evidence that he wouldn’t request a trade. Today we’re going to look at what happens if Aaron Rodgers retires. Still depressing but maybe a little more likely. Let’s go over three different scenarios: run it back anyway, semi-rebuild, and scorched earth.
Run It Back Anyway
- Restructure as many players as possible to open up space
- Extend Adrian Amos, Jaire Alexander, Davante Adams, and Preston Smith
- Release Za’Darius Smith, Marcedes Lewis, Randall Cobb, maybe Mason Crosby
- Spend a first or second round pick on receiver/edge rusher
- Re-sign one of De’Vondre Campbell or Rasul Douglas
I have a feeling this is the route that Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur would prefer.
