As the dust settles from the Aaron Rodgers contract news and Russell Wilson trade, where does that leave the rest of the NFL?
One would imagine spirits are high in Denver. Hackett gets the second-best quarterback available. Outside of a reunion with Rodgers, which was never fully in the cards, this was the ideal option for a tenured offensive coach who has the clout to work with just about anyone after his time with Rodgers. Hackett, who, is adaptable, which is something Wilson had been desiring out of his Seattle coaching staff for some time now.
You can slice this however you choose, but the stench this organization continues to give off is obviously a deterrent and it manifests itself significantly in moments like these. If the Snyder operation was one players were excited about, they would be in the conversation. Ron Rivera is a great head coach and is well liked. There are home grown weapons and a potentially great defense.
This is a legacy dependent maneuver for Wilson, and kudos to him for trying to make it happen like Tom Brady did. However, Brady has spent more time in his career hoisting undermanned rosters than Wilson has. Brady’s style of play was more sustainable and replicable. While I would never advocate for someone to sit in their comfort zone for the entirety of their careers, Wilson had control of the narrative in Seattle. The coaching staff was dated. The personnel side was unaggressive. Wilson was the broadway star playing in the rundown theater. All of that changes now, and he’s willingly exposed himself to the idea that he is either A: the player we all hoped he was, or B: the player his teammates have been trying to tell us he actually is.
Tepper could have found himself in the mix for Kevin Stefanski, the coach who ended the Browns playoff drought. He could have been in the mix for Nick Sirianni, who, along with a promising young staff, overcoached a rebuilding roster into a playoff contender. Instead, a billionaire who has made a living capitalizing on market inefficiencies finds himself on days like this one sitting with a depreciating asset and no sign of help on the way.
