They got Wilson and just assumed they would win the division. We all know how that worked out. I expect Rodgers to be better than Wilson, but this is a desperate move by a desperate franchise. I think a big part of this is their currently longest playoff drought in the NFL. 1 1

Charles Romes Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Just hope 1 more lousy team joins the bidding so the Jets price goes up and they are hamstrung in free agency the entire signing period. 1

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. they're not giving up the farm or mortgaging their future
DrDawkinstein Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 I know Rodgers will ultimately go to NY, but I'll happily watch him take his time because every day he waits is another day the Jets can't sign anyone else in FA. 1 1

Shows a lack of commitment from Rodgers, and also preventing the Jets from signing other FAs. Not a great look to start with. 1 1

It’s going to blow up so bad because Aaron is such an ego maniac and Hackett is a yes man. Saleh looking like a good coach and is going to allow his program to implode from within. 1 1

I havent seen any of that, but would love to. twitter rumblings im guessing? dude hasnt even shown up yet and has already overstayed his welcome LOL Edited March 14, 2023 by BillsShredder83

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. Their jobs shouldn't be in danger, other than QB, and that's big, they've built a high quality roster. Rodgers will be a huge get for them and he will sign by tomorrow, I'm pretty certain of that. 1
aristocrat Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 What could possibly be taking so long with this?

Maybe the Jets don't want to give that up for a 40-year-old who will only be there a year or two at most.

I wonder if Green Bay has an early-retirement offer of a pile of cash to retire and get free money, and he's mulling over whether to take the retirement package or the Jets offer. Because you are right, what could be taking so long? What is there to really decide on at this point? Just now, Gregg said: i saw a report that GB wants #1 pick this year and #2 next year that could turn into a #1 depending on how well Rodgers and the Jets do. Maybe the Jets don't want to give that up for a 40-year-old who will only be there a year or two at most. They arent even to that point yet tho, and reportedly arent negotiating on trade package until Rodgers makes his decision to officially allow the trade. 1
