Summary

Well, there used to be a time when a player would stay with one team as long as the team wanted him and he was playing well. And if you could grow old there, it built your legacy. Like Joe Montana with the 49er's or Bret Favre with the Green Bay Packer. Not ol' Aaron Rodgers though, no, he's going to ask that the GM leave.or he retires or gets traded away. This practice has become far too common-place for us to ignore it. The fans lose, the team loses and the city loses when this continues. Don't you agree? Learn more about your ad choices.
