Is it Super Bowl or bust for the Packers in 2022?

Do the Packers need to win Super Bowl LVII in order to justify the contract they extended Aaron Rodgers? It's not guaranteed he will stay there the entire 4 years. For as exceptional as Aaron Rodgers has been on the field, he's just played it safe in the playoffs. It seems as though he's more worried about his passer rating and TD/INT ratio than winning games. 

Aaron, sometimes making the risky play is the best play. Aaron Rodgers talent is too good to be thrown away during the playoffs ensuring he's making the safest play possible. No one wants reckless QB play, but they do want - no, they need you - to take SOME chances. 

NFL Rumors/Trades/Retirements?

Cowboys said they would release Amari Cooper in order to save $16M of cap space and there are teams out there that are willing to trade for him if they can restructure his 5-year/$100M deal before his 2022 Salary of $20M becomes fully guaranteed March 20th. 

Colts are not re-signing Pro Bowl LT Eric Fischer. Who will protect Wentz? I think he's as good as gone. Best for both to move in. 

Are the Packers trading Jordan Love? They say they won't, but the truth is the sooner they trade him, the higher the value they'll get in return. No one will want a QB 4 years down the line with limited playing experience. Green Bay is just posturing. They need to trade him and get some value now. 

Russell Wilson Soap Opera

What's better than the Aaron Rodgers Soap Opera? The Russell Wilson Drama in Seattle. Well, he's finally gone. However, a big driving factor for the trade was loss of trust. His teammates felt he checked out of the 2021 season. His organization was tired of the leaks coming from his camp about how unhappy he was. The writing was on the wall. You can't have the leader of your team not be trusted by both the players and the organization. He had to go. Can't wait to see what he does in Denver. 

What's going on with Aaron Donald? 

At the Rams Super Bowl celebration, he was all about running it back. However, not long before the Super Bowl started there were reports that he wanted to retire. Hey, he says he's doing it for his kids, and I can't fault the man for that.
