78thealltimegreat Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Mike Florio is saying that the packers aren’t changing their demands for Rogers…they really do have the Jets over a barrel right now and can pretty much ask whatever they want and who exactly are the jets going to turn to Matt Stafford? 1

ALF Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Packers would be wise to get out of that massive contract. 1

sullim4 Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 21 minutes ago, Gregg said: Lamar Jackson. I actually think this makes a ton of sense for both parties. The Jets have to give up a first to GB anyway, and probably some conditional pick or a halfway decent player. Jackson gets out of Baltimore. A first round draft pick is gonna play for you for five years at a rookie deal. You really want to trade that away for a cranky 39 year old quarterback that has been using retirement as leverage against his team? I am not a huge Lamar Jackson fan, but I would rather trade two firsts and pay him than make a deal for Rodgers. Rodgers is a drama queen, hasn't been nearly as good as past years, and has been spoiled by playing in a small market for a good franchise. The Jets are the complete opposite of "small town, well run". He is going to be in for a rude awakening if this deal consummates. 1 3 1

I think they never should have let Carr leaving the building without a contract. He is 31 and would have signed a 4 or 5-year deal. That would have given the Jets some stability at the QB position, and they wouldn't have had to give up any draft picks to get him. Last year Carr threw for 3,522 yards with 24 TD's and 14 INT's. He is certainly a good QB or better than many in the league. That is a big improvement from what they had with Mike White who threw for 1,192 yards with 3 TD's and 4 INT's and Wilson's 1,688 yards with 6 TD's and 7 INT's. 2

Now heres some trauma p**n...... imagine Rodgers deal falls through. Riots ensue. Jets put the fire out by $250m guaranteed to Lamar. Fans rejoice, they spin it as "thank god rodgers fell through, we did even better"........ then 11:59:00pm Ravens match Bills, Fins, Pats fans collectively curl their toes. "Somethings gunna happen."

Underscores what happens when you don't have a viable franchise QB and you pursue this aged diva. There is this implicit assumption post Brady that playing into your 40s is now realistic. Personally, I hope the Jets wildly over pay for Rodgers and give in to all his demands. Then he comes and starts playing like an old man and complaining. Looking forward to another 5 years of Mike Greenberg complaining about the dysfunctional Jets. 1 1 1

They really are on a great path, it wouldve been so smart to sign Carr, draft OL heavy, heck possibly even take a flyer on a qb. Or skip carr, put together a package and go get a guy you like in this draft. The fact theyre ready to yank the e-brake at the first shiny object they see, and venture off that path just assures the Jets will always be the Jets until they get a new owner. 1

Simultaneous release, Jets are once again laughing stock of the league 😆 Please baby Jesussssssss The best part is that there is zero incentive for the Packers to hurry the deal unless the Jets greatly overpay. In fact, it behooves GB to drag the negotiations out past June 1st so that Rodgers cap hit can be spread across two seasons. So reasonably the Pack should ask for at least the Russel Wilson package. He's won more MVPs, played in more playoff games, won SB MVP, 4 First Team All-Pros, even if you back out the age difference. GB doesn't need to budge. There is no incentive on their part. In fact, they should not only ask for the Russel Wilson deal, they should also ask for NYJ to pay a good portion of his money owed if they want it done faster. Seattle proved you don't give up a HoF QB for peanuts. Here's my dream scenario: The Jets spend the rest of the run up to the draft trying to go thrift store cheap on the GB. Offering two 2nd rounders or something insulting. During which time, Lamar finds a non-colluding NFC team to pay him. Rodgers does his passive-aggressive diva thing the whole time trying to neg the Packers into "doing right by him," forgetting that he's held them hostage multiple times over 15 years. Most recently last year. The entire time, the Jets fanbase, who has already assumed this deal was done, being wailing and gnashing their teeth. They send Rich Eisen, Greenberg, and George RR Martin hate Tweets everyday which eventually makes it onto the broadcast fodder. Well except Martin. He just paints figurines and doesn't write books. The Jets will either mortgage their future picks to overpay, or GB is annoyed enough from being slandered on sports radio for months that they pull out and lose nothing except the money they were going to pay Rodgers anyway.

The deadline for Rodgers 58.3 bonus doesn't kick in to guaranteed salary until then. How funny would it be if Zach Wilson has to start week 1. 1

Plus if he gets fed up and retires post June 1 the cap hit gets spread out too. If you want a good laugh hit up a Jets message board. I swear half of the jets fans hate him already. 😂 1

DrDawkinstein Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Jimmy G was supposed to have his intro presser in Vegas today. They kept the media waiting 2 hours, and then announced he wasnt coming out. And then some tweets came out reminding everyone that this week is just "agreement week" and nothing is signed yet. Wonder if the Jets are calling?
