Rodgers Reworks deal, takes $33 million cut, and creates $33 million of cap room for Jets.

[Chandler#81]

It’s official. I hate him.

[Doc Brown]

I'd laugh so hard if Rodgers's arm fell off as quickly as Peyton Manning's did.

[CSBill]

It’s NY, he did it to save on tax money.

I would have thought Giants players were taxed in NJ.

Maybe, but what about Jets players?

True

What’s to stop a team, especially in NYC, from saying “take this pay cut and we’ll make it up to you with X, Y, Z endorsements”?

 

Obviously it would have to be implied, because the NFL would likely destroy a team if they found out that to be explicit, but this is pretty random, and strange, of Rodgers to just give up $35M. 
 

If genuine, good for him… his cap hit after this year is still a problem for the Jets, but it’s not a poison pill franchise cap reset post-Rodgers like it was setting up to be.

The Jets practice facility is in Florham Park, NJ so unless the player lives in NY or LI they are only dealing with NJ taxes.

WOW! Didn't see that coming from Rogers. Joe Douglas just found some shopping money.

[BuffaloBillyG]

And this may be why:

 

 

[buffaloboyinATL]

Yeah, I is a nice brainer now, unfortunately.  They are signing Cook.  

[Drew21PA]

Maybe those night retreats have him a conscious and he feels bad for ripping off teams 

 

this isn’t going to end well for him or NJ

[uticaclub]

Didn't he have a cap hit of over $100M next year? This probably just lowers that

[ALF]

It looks like Rodgers forced his way out of GB by demanding that big contract.

[frostbitmic]

That'll be the best thing he ever does for the Jets, he won't win them a post season game.

You could have just wrote Allen that said it all!

[Nephilim17]

I hope he's deliciously average and they are in cap hell in a couple years with no QB.

[NewEra]

I expect them to make a move to an OT soon.  Dunno if that OT will be starter quality…. But I expect something.  If not- I don’t like their chances of winning the division, let alone a playoff game

Is Aaron Rodgers going to get younger? That is what everyone is missing he is a 39 year old man on the football decline. The New York Jets have the potential to be in last place. I don’t think Aaron Rodgers is going to be great he is going to Bret Favre New York Jets not Green Bay Packers years all washed up. Green Bay Packers don’t get rid of someone if they think

there is anything in the tank there is nothing there in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo
