Because you are right, what could be taking so long? What is there to really decide on at this point?

Maybe the Jets don't want to give that up for a 40-year-old who will only be there a year or two at most. Expand They arent even to that point yet tho, and reportedly arent negotiating on trade package until Rodgers makes his decision to officially allow the trade. 1
BuffaloBaumer Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Guarantee the Jets brass is just trying to get the fanbase into a frenzy and wanting to announce it at the very last second. It's not a bad marketing ploy as I would be shocked if everything has not already been agreed upon. Edited March 14, 2023 by BuffaloBaumer

Expand I’m starting believe he really wanted to go to Vegas when that didn’t happen he knew the Jets or retire where his only options he’d be crazy not to play with for the money he’s owed but I get the feeling Aaron really doesn’t want to do this but can’t really turn it down. 1

Neither the Jets nor Packers can sign any other FAs right now until they get his contract moved and settled. They're all stuck waiting on him. And he loves it.

Glorious! AS we discuss Rodgers bailing on the Jets. It occurred to me that the greatest troll that Rodgers could ever pull would be to actually bail on the Jets and somehow head to Chicago. 1

TBBills Fan Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) he should take the entire Jet WR Corp on a Ayhuasca trip to bond! Imagine working on routes tripping balls! #goals Edited March 14, 2023 by TBBills Fan 1
Robert Paulson Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Rodgers will be seeing trails of 12-15 guys open on crossing patterns
Mango Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 The more I think about it the more I’m really pulling for Rodgers to somehow end up in Chicago after all of this. The forever trolling if he were to win a SB with them.

frostbitmic Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 The Jets should guarantee his entire contract and give the Packers their next three first rounders.
Steptide Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 I honestly hate all of this. I wanted a few more years of bills domination in the afc east. Between what Miami and the jets are doing, it makes for a much tougher division

Meanwhile we get 2 super teams in our division and the fumes of the Evil Empire!

Between what Miami and the jets are doing, it makes for a much tougher division Expand Well the Pats should be squarely in last place so there is that. I get what you are saying but this will be temporary and I would take 27 year old allen over 40 year old Rodgers all day. Also, I would not jump to conclusions. Remember what everyone thought about the AFC West last year with the arms race behind KC and KC had to trade Hill for cap reasons. What happened? KC still the cream of the crop. Sam will happen in the AFC East.
