TheFunPolice Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) IMO something weird is going on with Rodgers and the trade. Maybe he is still "undecided" behind the scenes, OR the Jets have asked for a 2 year commitment and he is still pondering that, which is holding things up. At this point it shouldn't be that hard. If the trade happens AFTER the 2023 draft then one would imagine the Jets picks would be lower in each round. Best thing for both sides is a straight up trade: picks for player. Cash and carry. Done. None of this convoluted, conditional stuff that could be all over the board. Edited April 13, 2023 by TheFunPolice

The current rumors say that they had a deal, but Rodgers 90% retired comment spooked the Jets so they wanted the 2024 1st to be conditional. 1

It will happen when the Jets are on the clock in the 2nd round Draft starts two weeks from today at least the 1st Rd is two weeks from today. I would guess it gets resolved that weekend one way or another.

Rodgers won’t play another down for the Packers. He isn’t part of their future under any circumstance. Why not try to get everything you want from the Jets? The Jets and Rodgers have told the entire planet that Aaron Rodgers will be a Jet long before a deal was done. Those are the two parties who look foolish if nothing happens. The Packers should hold out as long as possible. 4

Also, the GM and HC for the Jets *must* make the playoffs or there is a strong chance their gone ESPECIALLY if they don't land Rodgers after all of this. The Green Bay front office / HC is probably safe regardless. 2

Gregg Posted April 14, 2023 Posted April 14, 2023 I really hope this blows up in the Jets faces and MILF man is the starting QB week 1. Wendell Ferreira on Twitter: "According to @CharlesRobinson, the #Packers asking price is a 2023 2nd and a 2024 guaranteed 1st. And they are willing to give something back in 2025 if Rodgers retires after one season. And the #Jets don't want it. (Around 36 minutes). https://t.co/aPlPv2Pxjq" / Twitter 1
TheFunPolice Posted April 14, 2023 Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) IF you could get assurances from Rodgers that he would play at least 2 seasons, a 2023 2nd and a 2024 1st isn't a bad deal. As quirky as he is, Rodgers is a top 3-5 QB in the NFL still, especially when he has actual WR to throw to. On that Jets team he would be dangerous. You figure the 2024 1st would be in the high 20's, low 30's if you're the Jets. That's less of a big deal, and not that far away from their 2023 2nd rounder. If healthy, Rodgers gets you deep into the playoffs for 2 years and makes the Jets a marquee attraction. One high 2nd and a low future first is not a huge price tag for that.

I would say if it got them to the superbowl it would have been worth it. If all they are is a playoff team that doesnt get there then no. Obviously you can't know this ahead of time but not winning it all with that kind of move just sets the team back even longer. I would rather set my team back continually trying in the draft to get the guy. At least if you get that guy you have them for a long time to keep making that attempt.

Dr.Sack Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 Rodgers age 40 season for a 1st will totally setup for the Packers for an another 20 years. I’d hold out for 2 1sts if I’m the Pack.

Feel he has done a solid job outside of the miss at QB but the good thing is, they are not hitching themselves to Wilson like the Patriots are doing with Mac. They've built a nice roster. He handled the Jamal Adams situation well and got great value in return.

Not making the playoffs for five years in a row isn't a stunning testament as to why a GM should keep his job.

If the Jets keep bulldiddin’ when draft day rolls around some team might decide Rodgers for a year or two is worth a trade. Then the Jets will be back in that Zach Wilson business and that business in bankrupt. 1
