Aaron Rodgers talking with the Jets

[BuffaloBaumer]

Guarantee the Jets brass is just trying to get the fanbase into a frenzy and wanting to announce it at the very last second. It's not a bad marketing ploy as I would be shocked if everything has not already been agreed upon.

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?

 

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.

I’m starting believe he really wanted to go to Vegas when that didn’t happen he knew the Jets or retire where his only options he’d be crazy not to play with for the money he’s owed but I get  the feeling Aaron really doesn’t want to do this but can’t really turn it down.

No one is delaying this besides Aaron Rodgers. Everyone else involved wants this done with asap. Neither the Jets nor Packers can sign any other FAs right now until they get his contract moved and settled. They're all stuck waiting on him. And he loves it.

what would you consider the very last second? I'm sure both teams wanted this resolved sooner

That and he absolutely doesnt want to retire in the same year as Brady.

the Jets are now pot committed to this lol they chose to wait it out through wave 1 of qb FA's, its starting to look murky, but they cant back out now. do they withdraw from the rodgers sweepstakes to sign....... who?  heinecke? baker? i dont see this move working out for them either way, and by far the funnier outcome is rodgers saying nah, jk lol 

 

even if he does agree, its a bad look that he's hesitated this much. will remind me of watson clearly not wanting to go to CLE, but not having many options at the $$ amount he wanted

 

if a girl waited a week to answer you on if shed let you take her out, how interested could she possibly be. this is hilarious

 

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.

So Rodgers plan is to take the Packers to NJ and try to win with Hackett? 
 

Good luck

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….

i thought the whole agreement is in place short of arod signing off on it

he should take the entire Jet WR Corp on a Ayhuasca trip to bond!

 

Imagine working on routes tripping balls!

Rodgers will be seeing trails of 12-15 guys open on crossing patterns

[Mango]

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.

The Jets should guarantee his entire contract and give the Packers their next three first rounders.

I honestly hate all of this. I wanted a few more years of bills domination in the afc east. Between what Miami and the jets are doing, it makes for a much tougher division

same... how come Brady got 150 years of Cleo Lemon, Mark Sanchez, trent edwards, Losman, Chad Pennington types in the AFC East?!

 

Meanwhile we get 2 super teams in our division and the fumes of the Evil Empire!

Maybe we can trade them a late rounder for George Wilson since Rodgers doesn't need him.

Well the Pats should be squarely in last place so there is that.   I get what you are saying but this will be temporary and I would take 27 year old allen over 40 year old Rodgers all day.  Also, I would not jump to conclusions.  Remember what everyone thought about the AFC West last year with the arms race behind KC and KC had to trade Hill for cap reasons.   What happened?  KC still the cream of the crop.  Sam will happen in the AFC East.

[Gregg]

After all of this I hope Rodgers tells the Jets...

 

 

[SCBills]

AFCE meet AFCW

 

Bills / Chiefs

Jets / Chargers

Dolphins / Broncos

Patriots / Raiders

 

Man up and be a better team for it.  KC dominated that division once again last year, will probably do it again this year.  If Beane makes smart decisions this off-season, no reason we shouldn't win the East again as well.
