Aaron Rodgers talking with the Jets

Recommended Posts

So.......  are we going to talk about the fact that the Jets had a great draft last year, is arguably having one of the better offseasons so far this year, and has a first and two second round picks (with very capable management with respect to drafts)?

 

If they get Rodgers, which is looking likely, that team will be set up for a playoff run.  

 

Let's go Bills.  Hope that Von Miller rebounds.  We will need him.  Tre White too.

 

And if Breece Hall comes back from his ACL, that will be another headache.

 

Time for some defensive talent to be added via FA.

I'll repeat this. Rodgers contract is structured in such a way that GB can cut him all the way up to week 1 and get out from under it.

 

I'm sure they will give Rodgers permission to miss camp in that scenario. If Rodgers shows up anyway and is a problem the Packers can suspend him for conduct detrimental to the team and send him out. They still don't need to release him

 

I don’t think that’s true.  There’s that fully-guaranteed $58M roster bonus which converts to salary if it isn’t exercised by week 1.

 

It makes him tradeable because it becomes payable by his new team, once he’s traded, so it limits the guaranteed $$ cap hit GB has to take on the chin

 

If he’s cut, it’s fully guaranteed, so GB has to pay whatever part of it his new team doesn’t pick up - and why would they pick up $58M?

If the Jets get Rodgers, their capability in the draft will be irrelevant because their 1st round draft pick and maybe one or both of their 2nds will belong to GB

It's a win-win for the Packers and they have full advantage.

 

No. How? How is a rolling out an even further disgruntled Rodgers a win-win? They're an absolute mismanaged dumpster fire that have seemingly been at odds with him for years. They've given him nothing, it's irreconcilable.

 

I remember arguing with people last season that thought Green Bay was still a contender. They went on to not be a contender. They're a trainwreck, and I don't understand why fans tend to think they're a well managed franchise simply because they're a historic one.

I think it's as simple as they lucked into Favre turning out to be great and Rodgers falling in the draft. 

 

They went decades with 2 total playoff appearances and lots of 6-10 type seasons. That's where they are headed soon, unless Jordan Love is another winning lottery ticket. 

 

If they are truly hung up on the Jets 13th overall 1st rounder this year then the Jets should just wait until after the draft. The price will only go down as time passes. 

 

A 2024 1st rounder that you expect to be in the high 20's/low 30's overall is plenty doable. 

 

If I'm the Jets I offer my two 2023 2nds and my 2024 first. That's a haul for a disgruntled soon to be 40 year old QB. They got a conditional 4th for Favre.

Depends on if Johnson wants to wait or not. He may cave in and give them the 13th overall pick. Both JD and Saleh wanted Carr so this whole Rodgers to Jets situation is 100% on Woody Johnson.

This is a really good read and explanation of where things are at right now. 

 

That was an interesting read, for sure.

 

If I'm the Jets there is no way I'm sending one of my top young players away. I would rather cave and send my 2024 1st round pick, which it sounds would get the deal done.

 

2023: 2nd, 2nd (Jets have 2)

2024 1st

 

That's a nice haul for Green Bay and somewhat steep for the Jets for a 1-2 year player but not crazy. 

 

At the end of the day, I don't think Green Bay wants to trade him. They really want him to retire.

We are in trouble if the Jets get him. The window is already closing, this will shut it

 

The Jets are basically going all in for the next year or two 2. Rodgers is 39 and may only play this year and retire. The Jets will be tough this year for sure.

he can’t do everything. He will be on the sidelines when Aaron Rodgers plays at Orchard Park

 

On the plus side Rodgers has never won a game in OP. Lets keep that streak going.

You do know who the Bills QB is right? 

 

Yes. And even with him being great, we have flamed out in the playoffs 4 years in a row.

 

And we flamed out, despite not having to go through a tough divison.

 

Now we are going to have a tough division to deal with, and it'll be much harder.

if this thing blows up....GB is in way worse shape....they are stuck with a huge contract and a distruptive presence

 

the jets can still go forward in several directions....

 

therefore i say the jets have more leverage

 

GB is the one that keeps signing the guy to new top end deals.  If they are in bad shape its their own fault.
