I could see Rodgers playing lights out next year just to prove the Packers wrong. "if" he continues downhill?

Father Time is undefeated bro...have you been smoking some of that peyote Rodgers has been hitting up? Obviously over the course of the next five years he's going to go downhill at some point. That doesn't mean after one down year he's suddenly gonna continue to be what he was last year. That's why I had said in the previous post that long term obviously it's Allen over him but next year could be a toss up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just weird. He's literally $40M of dead cap to them this year, when they only have something like $19M. They need to come up with an extra $9M of dead cap just to trade the guy.

Inigo Montoya Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Rodgers is an attention seeking diva. I'm not sure what would be worse for the Jets; Rodgers actually going there with his toxicity (can't wait to see the NY media crawl up his a** after his first bad game) OR Rodgers going back to GB and screwing the Jets by effectively keeping them out of free agency waiting for him to make up his mind. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Josh is one of Rodgers good friends in the league. Maybe he is helping us out by messing with the Jets lol.

TFBillsfan Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 If Rodgers goal is to get back to the SB, I’m surprised he would leave the NFC for the AFC with so many quality QB’s. His odds are far better in the NFC than a loaded AFC. Also it’s a huge roll of the dice for the Jets giving up the farm for Rodgers. One would make a reasonable assumption, the Jets would improve with him, which ultimately hurts their future draft position for drafting a franchise QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets bringing in Rodgers is essentially a rental that is going to cost them gobs of money and draft capital. It is the ultimate win now move by a GM and coach desperate to save their jobs.

If Rogers falls off or is injured the Jets are back to where they were. Unfortunately the Bills are cap strapped to keep pace with Miami and Jets so it's a tight race in our division. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
