Release him and be on hook for that salary for breaking the rule! :2thumbs:

They better penalize the Packers somehow, and not in a slap-on-the-wrist way.

Make them release him he would look great in a Cleveland uniform. We could definitively answer the question if he is good enough to prop up a bad franchise.

This would be the most legendary thing thats happened in the NFL in a while

Didn’t TO screw up his free agency paperwork a while back? The Niners ended up being able to trade him because his agent screwed up when he should have been free to sign anywhere.

He won't get released even tho its a rule.

 

[Cyrus12]

Yep rules say he should be released...enforce it goodell

:lol: :lol:

Every team abuses the heck out of the IR rules, but I also might just not care that much because the 9ers are such bad offenders.

The league can give em a cash fine if they want, but even that feels like overkill to me.

I think a warning letter is fine.

Make them release him he would look great in a Cleveland uniform.

Even better in a Minnesota uniform.

Legacy team = slap on the wrist.

 

[Maulbert]

Make them release him he would look great in a Cleveland uniform.

Even better in a Minnesota uniform.

If he were released, he would be put on waivers, which would mean each team could stake a claim in obverse order of the standings, which means Cleveland would snap him up in a heartbeat.

They will just doctor the paperwork to say it was a different injury and not the collarbone

 

[WmHBonney]

It seems pretty much black and white to me. If the NFL makes an exception for the Cheeseheads, then they have set a precedent.

Doesn't the NFL have to approve every IR transaction and placement? In that case the NFL would have approved Rodgers placement on IR and already deemed it okay.
