Short term this frightens me. Long Term the Jets and Dolphins are blowing their rebuild up and I love it. Bills might not finish 1st in the AFC East this year but will still make the playoffs and control the AFC East moving forward with Josh Allen.

 

Thr Jets are hitching their wagon to a guy who is undecided on if he wants to play and who will be out of the league in 2 years. Just in time for when most of their starters on rookie deals start to get paid. 

 

Miami is blowing all their draft capital on vets who are on max contracts. They better hope they hit this year or next because Waddle and Tua contracts are coming and they have a lot of guys who are making big $$$. How do you restock the cupboard when you keep trading away high picks?

 

I actually don't think the Jets are blowing anything. Low draft capital required. Low draft capital acquisition. When Rodgers is done they will have enough space to re-sign their own talent with a veteran roster and likely a rookie contract at QB. 


That is best case scenario. There is also another scenario where the Jets Jets this thing all up.

Buffalo better learn how to score against that defense. Not sure any of us were impressed by the offense in either game last year. 

Not sure I saw one person say they were impressed by either game last year.  Link?

Not believing it until

Shefty says so. Too many clowns want to be first and only connecting the dots 

 

Looks like it was a BS report.

The Packers receive the Jets 2023 1st and a 2024 2nd that can become a 1st based off of escalators. The Jets lock in their franchise QB. Per sources. #Jets #Packers" / Twitter

why post then? 

 

It might be. If it is I do like the fact that they gave up a first this year and a 2nd that could become a first next year. That's a lot for a 40 year who will probably only be there a year or two.

13 seconds will go down as the biggest blunder in Buffalo sports history...

Bills were indeed the best team in the NFL for like a 8 game period between last year and this year. Unfortunately no trophy for that

So, 'business as usual'. 😁

He won 2 out of the last 3 league MVPs. With those Jets receivers he might win it again this year

 

Let's circle back and see what happens. He's going to collect a check and because in GB he was expected to win Superbowls. As a Jet, he'll be a hero for making the playoffs.

I’m sure it’s a done deal.  
 

 

 

2023 AFC East the new 2022 AFC West

 

Until Rodgers blacks out on ayahuasca and hurts a hip when falling down.

Why would the Jets even want this guy right now? 
If he has to contemplate retirement or joining your team and isn’t sure.. Why in the world would you send draft capital for him? We’re gonna get to like July and Rodgers is just gonna be like nah… This wasn’t a good idea

oh no, the Jets upgraded from 8th best QB in the AFC East to 3rd best. 

 

I can give you possibly Allen > Rodgers, with even that being debatable, but who else is better in the East?

Desperation. It’s what happens when you don’t have a guy at QB , a la Browns

Possibly?

 

Yes.  Rodgers had 1 down year.  He had won 2 straight MVPs before that, and 4 total.  Obviously long term, Allen > Rodgers.  If Rodgers continues downhill, then obviously Allen > Rodgers.  But Rodgers was a top 2-3 QB in the NFL for 12+ years.  1 down disgruntled year doesn't guarantee he is suddenly trash.

 

I could see Rodgers playing lights out next year just to prove the Packers wrong.

Hits a little different when that year comes when you are 39 years old.

I would agree more if it wasn't for the fact that Rodgers has been pissed at GB for a couple years, and last year it seemed to come to a head.  I may be wrong, but I don't see much of a chance of him dropping off that much 1 year to the next, 39 or not.

I predict Brett Favre on the Vikings part two.

One really great, possibly even career year on his new team, followed by a sharp decline and a decision to retire.

Bills fans can only hope that the bright lights of the New York are not a good match with Rodgers, who seems to have paper thin skin and a giant ego.

If Rodgers does go to the Jets let's hope, he keeps one streak going. He has never won a game in Buffalo. Granted he hasn't played in OP all that much, but it would still be nice if he remains winless there.

Have not seen this anywhere.   If he went there they would be a legit contender IMO.

I know I'm late to the fair here, but as this report pointed out:

The report skipped over a pretty important step — the Packers giving Rodgers permission to talk to other teams. Maybe they had and it just wasn’t reported or disclosed. It’s hard to imagine that information being kept secret, however, given that most of the football world spent last week in Indianapolis.

It’s possible he didn’t get permission, and that there was tampering. That would seem to be very unlikely, however, given the stiff punishment imposed on the Dolphins for tampering with Tom Brady and Sean Payton.

 

Why would the Packers give Rodgers permission to seek a trade, when trading him is gonna cost them a small fortune in dead cap?
