I truly think Rodgers had to much say of roster moves and was able to get certain guys he was close to a contract to keep him happy. Ted I think told Rodgers pretty much what he told everyone else go to hell when they suggested roster moves.
Ted never told so much as a mosquito to go to hell. He was consistent, you knew exactly what to expect, you didn't need to ask him for guys because you knew what the answer would be. At least there was clarity back then.
Did he tell guys to actually go to hell no but no one was going to him to ask a say in the roster because he would have said that.
Doesn't mean it was wise to give him THAT contract, and to redo it to kick the can down the road.
How much say did Rodgers actually have?? he was complaining about not even being in the conversation and people got bent out of shape wondering why he should have a say when I don't think that is what he was asking for.
They signed an old and washed-up Randell Cobb for him....nuff said
and they pretty much had to do that since gute had screwed the pooch on keeping the wr room well-stocked with actual nfl pass catchers and not just a bunch of rookies who can't seem to hold onto the ball or run the right routes. if gute did his job there would have been wr talent being developed all along the way.
I thought Gute actually said GB signed him because Aaron asked GB to sign him.
