And it’s also a lot different than “not going to happen”.  Seems like a clear violation by Pack of a rule, the consequence of which is that the player gets released.  So why is it “not gonna happen”?

 

Because the league approved him being placed on IR.

So correct me if I'm wrong, if they release him couldn't Rodgers just re-sign with gb?

He'd be subject to waivers.

Would be amazing if he got released and ended up a Bill, sadly our luck would have him go to the Pats and Brady retires.

BTW no way Pack is forced to release him IMO.

There sorry that took so long.. I did not intend to mislead anyone the way ESPN headlines did.

 

 it was kind of misleading, I even had to take a look and soon found that it was referring to releasing him from IR. honest mistake. ignore the board patrol, some tend to be sensitive to stepping on their (duplicate thread) toes when they have already posted the article.

Mods feel free to merge this with the other AR thread sorry for the redundancy.

You mean to tell me that an elite, Superbowl winning, possibly hall of fame QB would make the Bills a contender?!

 

You don't say ...

How does the league “approve” a player going on IR? And how does that help Pack?  Seems to me, the rule is clear.

I guess I don't get either please merge thread if you feel that is necessary. It was an honest mistake but please don't be uncivil for no reason.

you can actually delete it I believe.

Will the league punish the Pack?

 

I think it will be the usual forfeit a draft pick scenario.

 

AR is not going anywhere but on vacation and he won't be released.

That wasn't directed at you.

BTW the title should read " could be released " not " should"

Deleting a thread is above my pay grade.  There is validity in the discussion here. If it needs to be merge I'm down with that. 

 

On Rodgers and league IR approval. Isn't a new physical required? I don't know all the ins and outs but some protocol must be required. One would think minimally a fine or suspension is in order.

Looks like the league already signed off on it. At worst they’ll cancel the IR designation and make them put him back on the roster.  He is not getting released.

This is a problem with the league. Rules should be uniformly enforced, no matter what the franchise or who the player. Picking and choosing when to enforce rules is a bunch of BS and this lack of consistency with disciplinary action is one of the things that's pissing fans off these days.
