Aaron Rodgers joining the Jets

[Woodman]

Signs are indeed pointing to Aaron Rodgers joining the Jets - ProFootballTalk (https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/03/13/signs-are-indeed-pointing-to-aaron-rodgers-joining-the-jets/)

Trey Wingo (who was the first to indicate the Jets had spoken to Rodgers last week) has tweeted that the deal is “done (https://twitter.com/wingoz/status/1635353210310504448?s=20).” We’ve heard the same thing, albeit not quite as definitively.

Meanwhile, various Jets players are dropping hints about it on Twitter, from cornerback Sauce Gardner (https://twitter.com/iamSauceGardner/status/1635356194603925507?s=20) to running back Breece Hall (https://twitter.com/BreeceH/status/1635360957311614977?s=20) to receiver Garrett Wilson (https://twitter.com/GarrettWilson_V/status/1635354981888061441?s=20) to tackle Mekhi Becton (https://twitter.com/BigTicket73/status/1635355368296693763?s=20).

The evidence is largely circumstantial. It hit our radar screen because Rodgers is involved in trying to persuade one or more free agents to join the Jets. Gardner hinted at “package deals” last week, if Rodgers were to accept a trade to the Jets.

Jets will be favorites to win the east.

[Woodman]

Jets will be favorites to win the east.

I thought the Bears signed Edmunds :D :D

[Night Train]

Jets will be favorites to win the east.

It's like the Redskins in the old days, signing everyone and "winning" the off-season.

Then the games started...

[kgun12]

So Rogers redid his contract like Diggs did, so how can GB take the like $99.7 million hit?

[Forward_Lateral]

This is all speculation still

[YardRat]

Jets will be favorites to win the east.

If they are able to add another receiver and/or tight end, they should be.

[Novacane]

ZZZZZZZZ

[Mace]

Will be interesting to see what fa's he's recruiting. He's pretty spaced.....Terrell Owens maybe....

[Historian]

7-10

[Night Train]

Jets had Vinnie Tesraverde, Favre, Boomer Esiason.. Like a old circus poster.

" Fun ! Thrills ! Romance ! "


All it lacked was any semblance of success .

[POTLAND PSILBYLO]

We used to call him Vinnie Testicle Vertical

Dolphins worry me. Jets do not.

[Bill Cody]

they didn't. That would have been the hit if they cut him. They are trading him. It's about a 40m hit.

[Bill Cody]

Dolphins worry me. Jets do not.

They worry me. We split with them last year with no QB. Aaron Rodgers is a heckuva lot better than Zach Wilson

I guarantee that this is not going to go well for the Jets.

They were a good football team minus a QB. They still have to put it all together. I'm not worried yet. Remember that famous "Fool's Gold" thread?

Can you say circus? To me, it's just a sign how desperate Saleh is to be looked at as successful.

oh there's still plenty of opportunity for the Jets to F it up. That's understood. They are after all....the Jets. But it's a QB league and they now have a top 5 QB instead of like the 40th QB. So yeah I'm worried.

[Forward_Lateral]

Just remember, The Broncos traded for Russ Wilson last offseason, and were crowned before the season began.

How'd that turn out?

They now have a deal in place with Lazard, per Jordan Schultz of theScore.com, with the sides agreeing to a four-year, $44 million contract with $22 million guaranteed.
Lazard, 27, is coming off his best season, with 60 catches for 788 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games.

Mocking Aaron Rodgers since it sounds like they're all his puppets now.

I think the forest spirits that Rodgers talks to will advise him to back out after his next Ayahuasca trip.

Just remember, The Broncos traded for Russ Wilson last offseason, and were crowned before the season began.

At least Rodgers had some flashes of his old self, Wilson was awful from day 1.

How do you set the Jets back 5-6 years? They haven't made the playoffs since 2010

[Woodman]

M.Rob kicking it!!!

[Bill Cody]

I do think it will be very interesting to see how Rodgers does with the NY press. This is a guy who needs/wants constant attention but cannot stand criticism. He was in a pretty safe bubble in Green Bay. The NY press ain't that. If things aren't going well there will be fireworks coming, that would be fun. But for all of Rogers weirdness he's still playing at a high level. Hard to see how this isn't a significant upgrade for the Jets.

Report- Packers not looking for multiple firsts, still negotiating with Jets - ProFootballTalk (https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/03/15/report-packers-not-looking-for-multiple-firsts-still-negotiating-with-jets/)

Aaron Rodgers (https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player/7815/aaron-rodgers) is set to make his first public comments of the week on Wednesday afternoon and there was a report about where things stand in trade discussions between the Jets and Packers before the quarterback’s appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that talks (https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1636045090924773397) between the two sides are ongoing and that there has been no agreement on terms of a deal that would send Rodgers to the Jets for the 2023 season.

[Woodman]

Now all we need is for the PATRIOTS TO TRADE THEIR NEXT 4 1st and 2 nd round picks to the Chiefs for Patrick MaHomes.

[notacon]

Rodgers is a drama queen.

He has been for the past few years. I think he likes the attention from being a drama queen more than he likes playing football.

[Forward_Lateral]

I hope the Jets give up a first. lol Stupid idiots

It would be absolutely awesome if the negotiations broke down

[Night Train]

GB could make this bleed for weeks.

Jets showed their hand and have zero leverage inow in terms of an actual deal. They'll pay dearly.

Rodgers should have stayed in the NFC. He's looking to score endorsement deals in NYC to make millions more before going to his retirement asylum or bat cave.

[Novacane]

Jets exposing themselves as the moron organization they are right now. How could they have let it get this far without knowing what GB wanted and being willing to pay that? They've already signed a guy Rodgers told them to get. They have no power in the negotiation and GB knows that. What a bunch of stooges.

[YardRat]

Green Bay is going to have to pay Rodgers a $58.3 million option bonus if he is on their team at the Week 1 mark, it's not like the Jets don't have any leverage at all.

Adding Lewis and Lazard...maybe OBJ and even Cobb...to Wilson/Davis/Uzomah with Carter/Knight/Hall and the defense is a pretty healthy roster. There will be some opinions they will win the division.

Week 1 is a long time away. The Jets have all but said he's our QB. They can't wait months to make this move. It's a game of chicken at this point and time is on the Packers side. They're gonna give up pick 15. They have to now.

[Woodman]

If they offer the 15th pick they got slaughtered.

My guess 3rd round in the 2023 Draft and maybe something in 2024 like a 4th.

[Novacane]

Neither team really has the leverage. Packers have moved on and they don't want to pay the 58 million but they can wait till the very last minute. The Jets aren't going to say **** it and go in another direction. They need to get him in their building. Who blinks first?

Packers want first-round pick and more for Aaron Rodgers - ProFootballTalk (https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/03/16/packers-want-first-round-pick-and-more-for-aaron-rodgers/)

Per multiple sources, the Packers want a first-round pick and more from the Jets for Rodgers.
The Packers want more than a first-round pick as part of the base deal. They want protection in 2025, in the event Rodgers plays in 2024. And that’s more than the Jets believe they should surrender for a player the Packers no longer want.
If the Jets are willing to offer something like a conditional package that would entail as much as a second-round pick this year and up to a second-round pick next year, the Packers would be nuts to not take it.

Jets will be favorites to win the east.

There have been variations of this here in respect that the “media” will crown the Jets favs to win AFCE.

I don’t think that is going to happen at all. In fact, I have been hearing the opposite from the media I have watched and read.

On GMFB, they always put questions like this to the panel...."If Rodgers joins the Jets, will they become the favorites to win the AFCE”? When they did, it was a universal “Nope”!

Ryan Leaf (yes, that Ryan Leaf) has become a regular guest on GMFB, and he brings unique and brutally honest insights to the table. He does not shy away from his colossal failure and being a bust QB draft pick.

In fact, that reality and ownership of why he was a bust is what makes his opinions so insightful and compelling.

Here is the segment from yesterday. He thinks that Rodgers going to the Jets is a big mistake, and that he is no match for Josh Allen.

This is the money quote about Josh Allen....

“Some people said it...I think Keyshawn said it the other day, “he goes to the Jets and he becomes the best QB in the division”. And I just....I just don’t get that.

Josh Allen is, by far, in my eyes, maybe the best QB in all of football.....besides Patrick Mahomes”.<iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/widget_iframe.2b2d73daf636805223fb11d48f3e94f7.html?origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.billszone.com" title="Twitter settings iframe" style="display: none;"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" title="Twitter analytics iframe" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; display: none; width: 0px; height: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none;"></iframe><iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/widget_iframe.2b2d73daf636805223fb11d48f3e94f7.html?origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.billszone.com" title="Twitter settings iframe" style="display: none;"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" title="Twitter analytics iframe" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; display: none; width: 0px; height: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none;"></iframe>
