Twitter reacts to Aaron Rodgers picking Packers over Broncos
Aaron Rodgers finally made his decision on Tuesday, opting to remain with the Green Bay Packers (with a massive contract extension) instead of choosing to retire or ask for a trade.
That means the Denver Broncos will have to turn to Plan B at quarterback. Here’s a sampling of how Twitter reacted to the news.
The dream is dead. Aaron Rodgers will remain with the #Packers. #Broncos will look elsewhere for a quarterback. https://t.co/614oErWd3B

It's always about the money. Never forget that.

I, for one, enjoyed every bit of the Rodgers saga.

I hate @AaronRodgers12 for dragging @Broncos along for his leverage in negotiations for almost a year!!!

“In the end it came down to Denver and Green Bay.” – @TomPelissero on @nflnetwork right now on our breaking news segment on Aaron Rodgers returning to the #packers

The @broncos won't have Rodgers as their QB but it looks like they've managed to bankrupt the Packers in the process. https://t.co/AGDqXeUX4x

Not a surprising outcome, but a good one for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. It made the most sense all along for him to stay, and now he has. Denver Broncos have already and will continue to explore other quarterback options

There are Plans B, C, D, E and onward … such contingency plans are why the Broncos had two rounds of meetings with R1-caliber quarterbacks already, first at the Senior Bowl and then at the Combine. It may not be what everyone wants, but it’s a plan nonetheless. https://t.co/aMnj7kRhQU

Plan B for Broncos general manager George Paton might include Russell Wilson, free agent options and, of course, the NFL draft. The league’s free agency negotiating window opens on Monday.
