The reaction to the Aaron Rodgers news was all over the map
Mar 8, 2022, 10:45 AM
After nearly a year of speculation, the Aaron Rodgers to the Broncos dream is officially dead.
The news broke Tuesday morning Rodgers will return to Green Bay on a new four-year deal worth $200M and, of course, not be coming to the Broncos.
This, of course, prompted tons of reaction on Twitter from media members, fans and even one Broncos player.
Here are some of the best tweets:
Good luck not winning a Super Bowl with the Packers. Denver was the better choice.
Yes, I'm disappointed #Broncos @1043TheFan https://t.co/Rlz5EYNpWZ

Me after hearing what the #Packers agreed to pay #AaronRodgers Talk about forcing Green Bay into a corner and getting what you want “The Champ is here is all I can say” WOW! @CecilLammey https://t.co/03fUFtBHnU pic.twitter.com/1NTe7ZTG3T

Did Aaron Rodgers just become the most hated person in Colorado?

The #Packers have no choice but to trade Jordan Love now. The draft isn't strong at the QB position and the free agent market is even worse, so rather than play out the final two years, they should deal him right now. https://t.co/jzvOFvgQRw

I hope Nathaniel Hacket can coach…

I am extremely bitter about this whole situation and entire ruse. And any Broncos fan who says they aren’t is lying.

I would not jump to conclusions about Jordan Love.
Aaron's contract may not have true guarantees past this year and even if it does, those can be traded.
This very well may be more Deja Vu than I even thought; that they move to Jordan after 3 years, just as we did with Aaron.— Andrew Brandt (@AndrewBrandt) March 8, 2022
#Broncos will now have to look to Russell Wilson, but Wilson has to force himself out of SEA. GM John Schneider will also have to fall in love with one of the QBs in the draft like he did with Mahomes and Josh Allen in order for him to trade Wilson.

I'm listening to all you media members that are having post breakup anger about Aaron Rodgers. Hahah whatttt?? Now you are going to act like you are glad we didn't get him? Don't lie. You are mad. You wanted him plain and simple. 👀👀@dmac1043👀👀👀

All about the money. Always was. Pretty simple. Not angry. Moving on.

He's no longer in charge. Hasn't been for 14 months. https://t.co/vqpfV7Xq9A

Hackett's familiarity w/Love will link speculation to Broncos. But Broncos will aim higher. Russell Wilson the expected next attempt.
Hackett/Paton weren't Broncos when Lock drafted in 2019 but he played well in Scangarello offense, which is same as Hackett offense. #9sports https://t.co/6DklQpdBNU— Mike Klis (@mikeklis) March 8, 2022

Btw, very interesting mix of info about the Rodgers deal. Very curious Schefter hasn’t personally confirmed it. Lmao. Too funny. Something is off. No way is he leaving. But deal may not be done.

I'm Cecil Lammey, and I approve this message. #Broncos @1043TheFan
unless DEN can get Russell Wilson or Deshaun Watson (if legal stuff is cleared up of course), the 2022 season and Jeudy's future (at least here) does not look bright. https://t.co/Z6LGErLNQr
