Aaron Rodgers’ legacy is cemented with the Green Bay Packers if he’s traded.
Rodgers has openly expressed in action he’s no longer content with being the franchise quarterback.
Per a league source, the Broncos are leery about the total cost of trading for Rodgers, between his expected compensation and the general belief that the Packers would want three first-round picks and a second-round pick for him.
The price paid in draft picks and/or players to accomplish the trade necessarily reduces the team’s willingness to pay Rodgers, since the combined price becomes a sliding scale of cash to the player and stuff to his former team. The more a new team would have to give the Packers to get Rodgers, the less it would want to give Rodgers. In turn, the more the new team has to give Rodgers, the less it would want to give the Packers to make it happen.
The Denver Broncos are in the mix and three first-round picks are on the line.
