I highly doubt the jets give up pick 13. The price for Rodgers has dropped. You see reports now that suggest a first round pick is not even in play and that GB will eat some of the contract. I think the VERY most will be just a second this year. The market is just not there for GB. The Jets are the only team now for Rodgers. Remember Rodgers holds all the cards. Why would he want to take away draft capital on his last chance for a ring. I think GB is in trouble here. They have a huge cap hit with him and he is 39 years old. GB is willing to get what they can and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwhich2 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I too am optimistic about our OL. I think Laken rebounds a bit, AVT, Becton, And Brown come back healthy, and Max Mitchell showed he can play in this league. They'll figure out center and get some depth/guys to compete but I don't think this unit is anything less than league average when healthy, with pretty high upside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a "prove it to me" guy, not a "if this and this happens then we should have this" guy. Brown was below average and MCG was horrible in pass pro. He was decent in run blocking though. Not sure how anyone would suggest either were above average, that is clearly not true. I would say two years ago they were average as a group and last year they were as well until mid year when things took a turn. Really no reason to think they can't get back to average / slightly above average next year. With Breece and better QB play that is an immediate boost no matter what happens. Even a full year of Mike White helps because of how quick he gets the ball out. It was a perfect storm last year, horrible QB play that nobody respected, blitzed constantly because of that and with the constant turnover it was a mess. Not sure how you weather a storm of 7 OTs hitting IR. We had zero run game threat because teams loaded the box. Got to hope not all of those things happen again next year but they probably will.

Dr.O Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Just feels like we’re gonna end up with Jimmy G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockice_8 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 A healthy Becton transforms this line. He is such a massive talent and looks fit so I'm holding out hope. He stayed healthy in college from what I recall so hopefully these freak injuries are behind him. Him looking slim as got me pumped at what could be though. Breece running right behind AVT and Becton would be scary good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickyt31 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) No matter what QB we end up, there will be a large portion of fans unhappy about something. Edited March 6, 2023 by rickyt31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets fans have a right to be skeptical about everything. If we acquired Mahomes tomorrow, my first reaction would be: "what don't WE know about him that KC knows?" I think we have earned the right to be skeptical about everything. That said, I did not want Derek Carr. I just did not see how a combination of Carr and Hackett was going to blossom here. Also, I really believe we need to aim higher than Derek Carr. Rodgers or bust for me...unless Lamar is being non-exclusive franchise tagged. Then I think he has to enter the picture.

drew39k Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Well, the asking price for Rodgers in trade just went up. Curious to see what Carr ended up getting for years and guarantees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rodgers wants us it won't if there are other bidders then it was always going to be high. I don't see CAR or anyone else linked o him as viable so really its just us which will keep the price low. Doubt Rodgers wants to go to CAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt Rodgers wants to go to CAR. I mean, we lost leverage. Plus the saints weren't in on Rodgers so the Packers didn't lose a suitor. Unless Rodgers pulls some real drama like publicly saying he will refuse to play for anyone but the Jets, the Packers situation improved by having Carr sign.
