Jets don't want Rodgers back

[Wacka]

I said back when they signed him that the Jets is the place where careers go to die.

 In another thread right now, Bills fans are arguing that being elite at pre-snap reads is more important than physical talent. If this is true, you would replace Josh Allen with Aaron Rodgers in a heartbeat.  

Fortunately for the sanity of the Universe it is not true.

NY Post...  By cutting him, the Jets will incur a $49 million dead money charge this season, unless they designated it as a post-June 1 cut. If they go the post-June 1 route, they can spread the hit over two years — $14 million in 2025 and $35 million in 2026. Glenn and Mougey may just want to eat all of the money in Year 1 of their time with the Jets.

 

The Rodgers move is the first big one of the Jets offseason. It also makes a release of wide receiver Davante Adams and his $35.6 million salary likely. The Jets traded for Adams in October to reunite him with Rodgers. It is hard to see any future Adams has, or would want, with the Jets without Rodgers.

The Steelers are the perfect place for him right? Rodgers was actually pretty good this year. He’s an idiot but Tomlin has been able to check idiots. He could give them a 1-2 year window to compete. 

 

I wouldn't say he was "pretty good" at all. He had decent stats, but so did Russ his last year in Denver, but he was even more successful than Rodgers.

 

Despite staying healthy, the team got WORSE with Rodger (and later Davante Adams) than they were with Wilson & Co.

 

If he goes to Pittsburgh, expect another average year & WC round loss. The Steelers will be treading water like the Colts were a couple years ago, bouncing from Rivers to Wentz to Ryan (or whatever order they were in).

Every Steelers fan I know will hate this. 
 

I approve

He certainly had some good moments and flashes of his former greatness and he can still spin it, but his glaring lack of the mobility he once had was evident. I doubt he’s ever gonna regain that at this stage. He should just hang them up.

Guddam Jests stealing our 'Smiley fired' thunder. 🤬

Anyone else the Bills can 'part ways' with? 🤔

[wppete]

What about the Raiders? I can see that happen on a one year deal if they draft a QB in the first round that sits and learns. Otherwise retirement.

There's a reason the Steelers weren't in on the trade of Rodgers.

The jets are going to be horrendously terrible the next 3 years. Their incompetence has no bounds.

Got get Garrett Wilson and we got our receiver

[Doc Brown]

He could do the funniest thing ever.  Sign with the Vikings and make the Super Bowl.

[sven233]

Man, if the Jets are going to blow it up, I want to know what it would take to get Garrett Wilson.  We need 2 WRs that are explosive and can win on their own.  He can absolutely fill one of those spots.  Young and talented.  Then, use FA or the draft to find the other one.

Shocking

Good cummulative stats makes it appear he had a good season; Rodgers was #7 in yards (Allen was #14) and #7 in TDs (tie with Allen) but dig a little deeper and you realize it was simply because he threw the ball so much.   The fact that he was #30 in yards per attempt (Allen was #9) shows he had a mediocre season at best.

 

 

To be clear, I’m not saying that he was an all-pro or anything. It was more that he was top 15ish. If he goes to the Steelers, that’s an upgrade.

[ControllerOfPlanetX]

Too many wins to draft a QB…too few wins for the playoffs…welcome to droughtsville.

 

[Doc Brown]

It may not be his fault but this news dropping on the day of the Super Bowl is so Aaron Rodgers.

I think the Jests are going full-blown rebuild mode. I expect Adams to be traded as well. 

Man what I would give up for Wilson

I see the logic I just cannot see the Rodgers - Tomlin dynamic at all. The first time he shrugs his shoulders at Tomlin that is a tinder box waiting to go off.

Or lose the conference championship game? Full Favre?

I was thinking more making the Super Bowl to go full Favre but just a letter further to make Jets fans more miserable.
