Packers are in less than an ideal situation cap wise and Denver has more picks as well.
As long as the Broncos don't have to overpay in draft pick compensation, going to Denver makes a lot of sense for Rodgers. Lower expectations but still a shot to win it all if Rodgers plays at a top 5 QB level.
Brady is just about gone if not gone and he only stays for another year in Tampa if it looks like Tampa Bay will reload and arguably have a little more talent than Green Bay again... While it may be easier to get through the NFC than the AFC next year with even San Francisco probably transitioning to a new QB, beating Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson, Stafford, Dak don't matter enough.
What better way for Rodgers to improve his somewhat sullied reputation than to come out ahead in a conference with Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Herbert and Lamar Jackson.
Denver right now IMO is in better position than Tampa Bay was when Tampa signed Brady. One difference with Tampa was that Brady came for a reasonable price in terms of salary. Will Rodgers be willing to play for a discount or will he demand gigantic contract commensurate with the back to back MVPs. Gronk came for a fair price in terms of salary and low price in draft compensation. And Antonio Brown/Fournette came for cheap prices. Tampa hit on a couple of key draft picks as well.
But Tampa and Denver had talent but they had issues at quarterback and other positions. Tampa improved its offensive line via the draft and Denver can use the draft as well to address needs. They have 11 picks right now.
Patriots are done and irrelevant. Just like Denver.. Go away. [Reply]
I would prefer them spend picks to acquire Wilson if that's the path they choose to take. As far as offensive talent, Denver has quite a bit and with the issues at QB (sure it can be a convenient excuse), but it's hard to really say if guys like Jeudy are a bust or not. I just think they need a creative mind that can upgrade the QB and with Sutton, Patrick, Jeudy, Hamler, Fant.. that's a nice set of passing options. Then you have Williams and Gordon if they resign him and overall, it's a solid group skill players.
They do need another upgrade to the OL, but if they can acquire or draft the right QB, they will be in a good place. But, Rodgers or Cousins would not be ideal for me. I can see them making a play for Cousins and while he would be an improvement, I don't see him as the answer.
For me, it's make a play for Wilson or take the QB from PIT or NC in the draft. [Reply]

These guys are going to be totally different players. Chiefs fans know how much a top 5 QB changes an offense.
Dude is so delusional, and desperate. The let down will be comedy gold. I can’t lie, I hope Dungver gives a kings ransom in picks and players to obtain the aging choke artist. Sell your future for a year or 2 of 2nd or 3rd in the division. Knowshit, do you really think your new coach is going be able to out coach the best coach in the league, with the best team in the league, and the best GM in the league?? [Reply]

All those players you mentioned on offense are decent, but none are special talents, as in top 5 players at their position. Many teams have what Denver has. :-)
As far as QBs go, I think you're on the right track. No way I'd put all those resources to acquire Rodgers. It would be Wilson, DeShaun Watson, or screw it just roll with Lock and draft a young QB (NOT a CB). I'm not sure I'd draft a QB round 1 this year. They all seem like reaches, exactly why a QB starved team like Denver needs to be cautious of drafting one. Pickett is a Brady Quinn in the making.... On second thought, go for it! :-) [Reply]
Of all the 100s of delusional things KnowMo has said and done, thinking that a stupid smiley at the end of a homer post could trigger a fan base enjoying its 4th straight home conference title game has gotta be #1. [Reply]
So Rodgers has had golden opportunities 2 of the last 3 years to get to the Super Bowl and can't get it done in a conference with not nearly as much young QB talent as the AFC. But, he's going to come to the AFC to somehow repair his legacy..... [Reply]

You can't blame Knowshit and the other Donk fans for wanting Rodgers. After all,, it wasn't that long ago that they saw the league gift them a Superfarce in as a retirement gift to Fivehead. They surely believe that they would do it again for Rodgers. They really don't care if the wins are legitimate or not. Their franchise has always had to cheat to win, so they're okay with it.
