Big Baller Beane Totally guessing. But either something is in the works for an actual roster move with McKenzie or somebody he’s close with. ….or he is mocking the FO.

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!!

Totally personal goals. There is no other rumor of this other than me in this thread trying to will this into existence.

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.

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….

The Jets would be heading into 2023 with Hackett and Heinecke/Baker? 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.

I am in the minority here, but I think we have enough quality guys to run routes and catch passes. I have no issues going into the season with Diggs, Davis, Shakir as our starting 1, 2, and slot. Plus we have Cook, Hines, Knox, and I am guessing a top 100 pick. Where I do have concern is who is backing up our starting 3 WR. I like McKenzie as a tool not a full time WR. Kumerow sucks. Quality WR depth is an issue for me.

To your first point, I don’t think that’s the case. It was built to get out of easily after three years. Now Von will cost either $15 or $24M in 2025. Thats a lot of money for any pass rusher in the NFL. And a ton for one who will be 36. My criticism isn’t directly meant for cap purposes, although part of it. Its value. Von Miller will be terrible value. And that money will cost us elsewhere. It’s not any different than BB putting together one of the most expensive Ol’s in the league without being a top unit. We’ve had the most expensive DL in the league without ever being the best DL. The FO keeps spending tons of money and draft picks without return at all sorts of position groups. If any of those groups were the best in the league you wouldn’t hear a peep from me about it.

I would have preferred to get more creative elsewhere to save Millers money. Unsure of the exact figures, but I believe it makes our outin 2025 substantially more than $7M, and may force us to make a decision between a hefty dead cap number or $21M 36 year old pass rusher with two ACL replacements. I would have been down with a Dawkins restructure/extension and same with Jones.

The specific reason is to get the Bills under the cap with enough room for a handful of depth signings and rookies.

Ah yes. That makes way more sense. Thank you!

Honest question, why? They invested a ton into Tre Lance who has barely played, and Purdy seemed like a real life QB last year. I imagine it is a condemnation on Tre Lance. But weird none the less.

Booo. Hiss.

Kyle Allen incoming

No, biting is “oh man, what could this possibly mean”. What I am saying is that I just find the whole intent to rile up his teams fan base just so he can point out how “above it all” he is disrespectful.

Diggs is trolling, he has always been a huge troll. It is something that has always bothered me about him. Like he casually posts something super weird but also casually related to him, or his team, or his status, and then goes "nah, you just don't get me". This doesn't mean please get rid of Diggs. But the patronizing drives me crazy.

Agreed to an extent. But I cannot with 100% confidence say Diggs won't ask to leave and/or force his way out. However I think its highly unlikely. Diggs likes to troll. He always has. And likely always will. One hand washes the other here. Some body pointed out that Diggs in a post June 1 move could end up being $10M this year, and $7M the following. If true it is not as daunting as $40M. Totally agree. Trading him would be a bad roster move from a talent perspective.

The last 4 pre-salary capped teams to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl were the Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Bills, and the last one was the Buffalo Bills.

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.

FTFY. McBeane have keyed in on this for some time. It isn't Dorsey specific. Barkley only had about 60 more receiving yards than Singletary.

I think the chiefs are an example of the opposite. They shed contracts and relied heavily on rookie draft picks starting all over the field on both sides of the ball. When you have Mahomes, Allen, etc. you always have a chance. And the expectation is that you can always have a chance to win one. But the fact that they won this year should be a huge concern for the league. They’re going to be a better team in 23 than they were in 22. Better teams don’t always win the SB, but the Chiefs are pretty cush going forward.

I think you’re right. But my gut tells me that Beane is trying to go all in again this year and will borrow whatever he can from future years to do it. Anything could happen.

This whole stunt is probably financed by PMT to keep the content rolling. Rodgers is the kind of guy to **** Wilson and take number 2 from him and Saleh is the guy to let it happen. Maybe even get tee shirts made.

I don’t know man, it seemed pretty authentic to me. Rumor has it Rex Ryan makes all the scholarship decisions at Southwestern Oklahoma State without consulting anybody else on campus.

I actually think this should be enough for the other owners to force Brown to sell.
