Fitzmagic Thread

I don't know if this post should go here, or somewhere else ... but I'll put it here as it is total QB speculation ....

I was listening to NFL Network on Sirius XM this morning, and they played the Aaron Rodgers final Jeopardy clip that was amusing last night .... and it brought the hosts to the conversation of Rodgers future in Green Bay. They were of the opinion that it certainly looks like this coming season will be Aaron's last in Green Bay. And that he'll be looking for a new team in 2022.

So ....

Could it be that outlandish to think that Washington could be a nice landing spot for him? We use this year to assemble more pieces of a solid playoff team - very good defense, putting together skill players on O, solid OLine ... with the glaring need for a franchise QB ... and we basically "pull a Tampa Bay" and go get a Hall of Famer who still is putting up stupidly good numbers, to lead our team for 2 - 3 years.

Am I just in pre-draft-free-agency fan la la land here? Or is this the slightest bit possible?

If it was possible, would you be good with it - taking on a QB in his twilight?

Anything is possible, but he's not a FA until 2024. WFT would likely have to trade for him, and I'm not sure I would be willing to give up a ton of assets for him. If they outright released him I would definitely look at bringing him in, but I don't see that happening.

I wouldn't say it was out of the question, but I think it's factored on a few things:

1) Fitz performance - if he lights it up and pulls a Rich Gannon type late career surge we may not want to swap again so soon.
2) Rodgers may not want to do a Brady (play into his 40's). If he's not motivated to play another 3-5 years I'm not sure I want him as we'd be forgoing a draft QB for sure (for at least 2-4 years) to keep him that long.
3) He wouldn't be as affordable as a rookie in 1-2 years time. That means we'd have to lose cap costs somewhere else and with a desire to resign all/most of our burgeoning DL, I'd say we may well not want the cost.

Not to mention he's probably going to take over as the host for Jeopardy!

He seemed like a natural

Honestly, that's what I am hoping for -- Fitz is coming off one of his better years, maybe he's peaking late.

Also agree that the cap hit for AR would be big ... I really want to try to hang onto our young assets as they hit their next contract too.

I heard he watched tons of old shows, taking notes, to prepare for his hosting role.

It showed!

Look who showed up at the Masters. Looks like he may have drank too much water.

Look how he's standing.
