Any goodwill from Gutekunst rebuilding the roster around him (which was really just spending money on defense) went out the window when he bet against Rodgers with that Love pick.
Pretty much, but he never expect Love to play right away. He would have 3 years under Rodgers to develop and not get thrown to the wolves. Aaron just sped up the process though, but in the process of this, probably denied him getting traded to San Francisco if he kept quiet.
If he goes to the Broncos he has to face Mahomes 3 times maximum. If he wants the best shot at a contender, probably Seattle w/ Russel Wilson being traded. There is no way he is winning a chip in Denver or Vegas.
