Trade for Aaron Rodgers? Washington Football Team Fan Reaction Split

ASHBURN, Va. -- Should the Washington Football Team even attempt to get into a bidding war with the Denver Broncos and others, if and when Aaron Rodgers becomes available via a trade from the Green Bay Packers?

Let's start with this: It's still highly unlikely Green Bay would trade him at this point. But …

We've had mixed opinion on this site about the issue.

I think Washington would be crazy to trade possibly two starters, three or four high-value draft picks and possibly more for a late-30’s quarterback, MVP award and all, even with his contract in place for three years.

What about you - The Washington Football fan that has been thirsting for a true championship contender?

He blows me away every time he plays.

Why don’t people want to talk about how bad that Green Bay roster is and how they would be a 3-win team without him? Roster mismanagement is the entire reason he’s mad.

The amount of Washington Football Team fans who don't want to trade for Aaron Rodgers - even if the opportunity actually presents itself this offseason - is staggering. I don't get it.

Remember: not only do you have to pay Green Bay the compensation required along with Rodgers contract, but you would likely also have to give Rodgers an extension or an altered pay structure (more guarantees) in the next few years.

For how long? Nobody knows. How much? Again, no clue, but if you think the trade compensation is obscene, the dollars for a premier QB isn't going to be cap-friendly, either.

What's asinine is giving up assets for the hopes that a QB is going to make you a contender when clearly there are alot of needs that have to be filled b4 you get to that point or else you're the Texans with Watson or Detroit with Stafford.

Another element is this: Will Rodgers get along with coaches Ron Rivera, Scott Turner and Ken Zampese? He has a history of being feisty and combative.

Just because you have Rodgers doesn't mean you're guaranteed anything. Are your chances better? Yes. But a quarterback alone does not win a Super Bowl alone.

Two decades of watching Peyton & Brady dominate the NFL should prove to everyone that running fast & throwing hard are not the most important talents for a QB. Leadership & decision making are. Neither of those are AR strengths. And FTR, Rodgers only SB came with the #2 DVOA def.

Especially when you consider that roughly 12 or 13 of Rodgers 21 playoff games were not what anyone would consider 'special'.

I'm with you Rooster. I don't want to mortgage the future for a 37 year old diva QB

Of course, all those other ones kinda were.

Having Rodgers as your quarterback guarantees nothing. Some playoff games he's been very good. Some? Ehh...you're left needing and wanting a bunch more.

I'm OK if your argument is giving up 3 1sts or whatever it is Green Bay wants isn't rational for a 37 year old.

But on talent he might be the very best ever and he sure as shit is still playing like it.

Washington also has to weigh this: Would Rodgers rather be a championship QB or the host of “Jeopardy”?

I don’t understand why so many fans want to blow up the solid foundation we have for the first time in forever in pursuit of ONE guy. Getting Aaron Rodgers and his price tag + assets it would take to acquire him would do nothing but set us back.

This is just some of the reaction this idea is getting. It's a polarizing concept; What is Aaron Rodgers’ cost and value? It will keep the stove lit in May and beyond … and we’re on it for you.
