He mentioned potential options and said free agency wasn't an option. At first I took that as: he'll either decide to retire or come back to the Packers not another team.

In hindsight... actually I think he's simply saying he's not going to be a free agent, not that he wouldn't consider a trade. By the end McAfee half-joked about him coming to IND. And Green Bay is pushing $41m over the cap, so guys are going to get dumped (Colts are $41m under).

And Rodgers said “yea I’ll come to Indy…….. and make my announcement “

Hints are that Brady retires. If so, that makes the QB market favor the QBs and not the teams in need. If Rodgers goes to Denver, that leaves Jordan Love in G. Does that mean GB has their QB, or are they also looking? What if Rodgers retires? Then we have Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson. Do they get traded? If Watson ends up in Miami, do we have a shot at Tua? Do we want Tua?

Then we have these free agents:
Jameis Winston - 28 years old.
Cam Newton - 32 years old. ...
Ryan Fitzpatrick - 39 years old. ...
Teddy Bridgewater - 29 years old. ...
Geno Smith - 31 years old. ...
Tyrod Taylor - 32 years old. ...
Marcus Mariota - 28 years old. ...
Sean Mannion - 29 years old. ...


Winston and Bridgewater have been mentioned on this board as possibilities, but I am not sure either could take us to the SB. It would be really cool if we signed Fitzmagic, and the dude finally made it to the big game and won. However, that is just a band-aid, at 39 years of age.
Lots of QB questions. Should prove to be an interesting off-season.
