I'll add in a 4th/5th voice to all of this - league owners. Are some of them in the ear of the Packers FO trying to get them to hold the line. Owners don't want to give up their "ownership" rights via "extortion" like this, especially on high value players like this. If AR manages to force himself out, who's next. This might be another force at play in all this.
If the Packers trade AR after making a reasoned determination that JLove is good to go, then it was the Packers decision. A much different scenario than AR being the one in control.
