Consider me officially confused about the Aaron Rodgers saga. 
 

He wants out of GB because they don’t give him enough help. But when he gets to the Jets they want to surround him with Lazard, Cobb, and Hackett….

 

Also wants to go from Aging Tom Brady, Stafford, Hurts, QB of the week in San Fran to Herbert, Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Jackson?

Adam Schefter on Twitter: "With the Jets closing in on a deal for WR Allen Lazard, another WR expected to be on their radar in the coming days of free agency is Packers’ veteran Randall Cobb, per league sources." / Twitter

This makes me feel like Rodgers going to NY is just a matter of time. Reportedly, one of the things he asked for was to sign some of his WR buddies from Green Bay.

 

edit - it’s kind of funny. NY has built a pretty damn good young roster. Now they’re bringing in Rodgers, who is kind of notorious for disliking young, inexperienced players. So he wants to bring a bunch of his half washed vet buddies that will take snaps from those good young players.

 

It’ll be interesting to see how that dynamic works. I’m sure it’ll be all good to start, just due to the respect the young guys probably have for Rodgers name. But we will see how long that lasts…

This is hilarious. None of those receivers are better than what the Jets already have. He should be telling them to get a better OL.

according to overthecap the jets have ~ $11 mil in cap space so....excuse me aaron?

I hope the Jets cut Corey Davis to get these guys (minus Beckham) and we can sign him on the cheap.

Right. 

 

Well, I guess technically OBJ wasn't one of his weapons in Green Bay, but...

If Rodgers doesn't like Garrett Wilson and Tyler Conklin, the Bills could take them off their hands.

I'd even take Corey Davis minus his current salary.

My god what a freaking clown this guy is

He's on a secret mission to destroy the Jets and the Packers because he is a nihilist who actually hates football. Douglas will sign all these guys, create competing factions in the locker room, then Aaron will change his mind and retire to a 500 acre spread in Wyoming, completely screwing GBs cap situation. Douglas heads to the airport where a jet has been kept on standby for a trip to Baltimore where he gives Lamar most of what he wants and then the Ravens match. Perfection.

Rogers is a very good quarterback who I wouldn't want near my team. Some guys baggage is too overwhelming in spite of other considerations. Unfortunately for the Jets they've got themselves in a position they need him regardless.

Guys in that locker room are going to be tired of his schtick before he even gets there, while the guys he had the Jets sign for him are saying, "he's really a good guy, he really is."

i think there's almost zero good will left with his teammates and the fans.  i get winning fixes everything, but man he is making this hard on himself.

Imagine if he doesn't sign and the Jets are forced to start Zach week 1. That would be funny.

Im just waiting for the story to break that Aaron Rodgers was never going to go to the Jets and he really just started his own agency and his first clients are Lazard, Cobb, Lewis and other current or former Packers and he has just been using the allure of himself to get them paid more than they should be by the Jets.

His character. Narcissistic tendencies. Not uncommon in his profession but still don't desire them on my team. 

It's crazy what an A**H*** he ended up being after everything Green Bay fans had to go through with Favre(and I myself was a HUGE Farve fan back in the day)at the end....it's gotta sting having Won two Championships with these guys but having the memories tainted by the way they went out and learning how Narcissistic they were both were.  Just a weird dynamic and absolutely insane how similar this Rodgers situation is to the way Favre left.

He must have slapped or punched a woman or something? Some kind of abuse or broke the law in some way? 

Not a problem for you apparently. We all have our own values and are free to choose them. He's someone I personally would grow very weary of quite quickly. Having said that he's been a great quarterback and will upgrade that position significantly for the Jets.

That’s exactly right……..and you don’t like that he has the free flowing spirit he has and I’m sure you didn’t like his stances recently

What if all this Rodgers FA shopping list is like “Gone in 60 seconds”. He’s made his demands and it he wants it done today.
 

OBJ finally signs on the dotted line at 12:01am. But it’s not good enough. Rodgers was explicit it had to be done today. And 12:01 is tomorrow.

 

Now they’re stuck with Randall Cobb and Nathaniel Hackett.

 

…and what’s that I hear?….By god!!! That’s Carson Wentz music!!

i actually align pretty damn strong with rodgers on... well anything on a personal level, he was right about all the pearl clutching over the flu, DMT spiritual awakening trip in S.America, sign me up. i love his appearances on PMcafee and PMT, funny as hell. but man i gotta say he really looks like a dbag over this whole thing. stringing people around, moving goalposts with i want lazard and cobb and lewis (those last two stillllllll playyyyy? 😨 was there even iphones when they were rookies).  dudes lost the team before a snap, hes going to have to win them back over again.

It'll be fun after the fact to hear which of these silly Rodgers reports are exaggerated or purely inaccurate. It seems obvious the Packers have had the Jets over a barrel and hard-balling them for compensation.
