Agree totally . When he pulled the stunt at Green Bay … not sure if he wanted to play … Ayahuasca , new age girl friend … The team pays you to be focussed and play . Remember the State Farm add he did playing guitar with a man bun ?? Totally goofy and not focussed .

I’ll root for the Saints til the end, but if I was already set for life…. I’m not picking N.O. to live in , out of the 30 NFL cities.

I’m not picking Louisiana out of the NFL states. I understand but don’t get why that bothers people, that strangers don’t want to live in their city or state.

I think he's pretty much done.

Spending 40 million on Rodgers would be a good move in your eyes? I'm sorry you got bullied in NOLA. I've always enjoyed the city


Nobody is giving him $40 mil

If he plays, it’ll be for $20 mil or less.

I don’t get it either on bothering them, although deep down they know it puts us in competitive disadvantage that only getting the team to a more desirable location can rectify.

Big deal. I don't want to live in NYC, LA, Texas, etc. He is entitled to his opinion.

It’s funny that people get mad at him instead of the leadership and citizens that created the problem.

The guy was asked a question and he answered it honestly. It’s not like he’s going around on an anti Louisiana crusade.

The idea that an incredibly wealthy person earning tens of millions of dollars would have a “poor standard of living” in Louisiana is ridiculous. This is not to excuse our problems, which are are real and manifold, but do you really think he would be hurting in, say, a historic Garden District mansion? Please …

41 year olds who have $400 mil in career earnings aren’t seeking out New Orleans as a place to live and work? Shocking development

Then I don't think he will play. He isn't gonna play on basically a scrub qb contract.

He is a white conservative. What white conservative would want any part of a jungle like NOLA?

You’re pretty dumb when it comes to this board. Now, i don’t blame a player who is 40 years old not wanting to come to New Orleans to help a rebuild team. For one, this team is never leaving New Orleans. The nfl won’t allow it. We have a loyal wild fanbase. The city just hosted one of the best super bowls and fans and supporting teams and media raved about it.

Is there better places to live? Yeah, New Orleans has tons of issues but you think Detroit, Cincinnati, Baltimore are having these same issues with players? You’re entitled original statement on here is retarded and that’s par for the course here.

Winning heals all problems. If the saints had a loaded roster and needed a qb Rodgers would be begging to come here. His only options is Pittsburgh (an awful place to live). We just had a qb and coach stay here for 16 years, got pretty much any free agent they could afford, players loved it here.

It’s absolutely hilarious idiots like you forget how magnetic this place was when Mike Thomas, Kamara, Ingram, Davis, cam Jordan were on the sideline dancing and winning and players wanted to come here. Why? Players want to come to winning teams. Right now we aren’t that and Rodgers def isn’t any type of measure of how players feel. Neither was Carr. Carr moved out of here cause he was hated here. By fans and his fellow players.

That's good because I'm not interested in rooting for a washed-up, narcisstic, weirdo QB from California. We just had one of those for the last 2 years. No thanks.
