It is the nice thing to do amongst friends. So when Shanahan tampered with Rodgers a few years ago, the Packers should have rolled over there then? The Packers are going to do what's best for the Packers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be hampering our ability to attract guys though. We had offers out there for SF C, O. Brown and Cox and they all returned to their teams. But we are still trying to spend money. We still have A LOT of wiggle room with contracts. Serve real guys we can cut and restructure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing they’re FAs bc their teams can realize they’re not worth draft picks never mind a haul if a package. You GB fans act like you’re trading a 34yr old star QB. Derek Carr who was 35 was offered a 3rd that LV would agree to. Let that sink in. 4 years younger and guaranteed to play for 4 years or so that is still a top 15 QB couldn’t even go for a 3rd. ARs last season wasn’t elite at all let’s keep in mind too. That’s not even bringing in all the dead cap that goes with him and likely only getting him for a year. If Rodgers was 34 he would be our starting QB this year instead of yours. lol But you can't blame our GM for trying to get as much compensation for him as he can. Any GM worth his salt would be doing the same thing. You can't compare this situation with Carr. He had a no trade clause in his contract with LV and was able to get out of Dodge and become a FA. Rodgers doesn't have that luxury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Andrew Brandt (former Packers' FO personnel) said, it won't get to that. But the Jets' "deadline" is before Green Bay's. Why? GB wants 2023 picks, their deadline is the draft if they're smart.

Rodgers doesn't have that luxury. Absolutely he should be trying to get the best he can. But generally speaking when a player is getting traded there’s multiple teams involved. So there’s a price and teams have to beat each other out. There’s just us and you guys are done with him. There’s 1 option for you guys. Your only card is we’ll make you wait.

They'll settle for 2024 picks IMO. If you're the GM of the Green Bay Packers, and the Jets offer you their 3rd round pick this year (#74) or their FRP next year, which do you take?

Jag68Sid87 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I would prefer to give up 2024 draft picks. So, if this drags past the draft, so be it. We have our QB. Now let's plug holes, of which we have a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s our only option that is a significant upgrade. Us starting Wilson is 100% an option. Us trading for Tannehill for a 7th rounder can be an option. Trading for cousins or staffird for a fraction of the AR price, sign a vet FA still, etc. We have options. Your option of not trading AR is paying him and playing him. Which you guys 100% don’t want to do. So yes we have countless options. While you have 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the Jets can sit here and just wait cause the Packers are going to trade him to us regardless, I would call their bluff. Let them make it ugly. Go ahead, treat your star like trash. Giving up first round picks, specifically the 13th pick this year when we have significant holes, to get a player for maybe 1 year is such a dumb move by the Jets if they do that.

The FO is safe, Woody Johnson is in charge of this pursuit. The fans know the Jets tried. A back out could definitely happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
