Players going hard to recruit him now. I think retirement is on the table and the Jets are trying to pull him off the fence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same way Houston made teams submit offers before talking to Watson and New Orleans submitted an offer to Vegas before meeting with Carr. Idk, this feels like a weird/unique situation IMO. It wouldn’t shock me if the framework is being done now. Especially if Green Bay is willing to take whatever is offered. If the Jets are the only suitor, I can’t see a reason why Green Bay would insist on knowing compensation first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrade Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Greeny’s Sun Moon and Stars could just be a 3rd and 4th in his eyes. He strikes me as a shoot low kinda guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was 5 years ago then yes GB would get a great package deal. They waited to long to move on. This is why they will take what ever and eat some of the capo hit. I can see GB taking 1/3 or 1/4 of the cap hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheatieMan Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Is there a mechanism to trade a cap hit to another team (count it against the other team's cap)? Or is that simply paid through draft capital? I'm not sure what sports that could apply to if any.

Nobody is saying that the Packers have leverage. What we are saying is that the Jets don't either. You don't let a player talk to another team without a compensation package lined up before hand. It's no different than the Carr scenario. The Raiders weren't going to let other teams talk to Carr until they agreed to the framework of a trade beforehand.

This post reeks of someone who doesn't understand the basic concept of the salary cap. Right now, the Jets would be on the hook for his base salary ($1.165M), his workout bonus (50k) and the pro-rated part of his option bonus ($14.575M). Eating even a quarter of that pro-rated option bonus would be an additional $15M in dead cap the Packers would have to account for beyond the additional $9M they'd be on top of the additional $8.9M they'd be paying by trading him. Right now, the Packers have $16.4M-ish in cap space and that doesn't account for any FAs signed or re-signed or any draft picks being signed. That wouldn't allow room for the Packers to sign any of their draft picks. And the only real notable cap maneuvers they can do to create more cap space is to restructure David Bakhtiari and trade Darnell Savage. Eating more of his option bonus just isn't feasible financially for the Packers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts they want to move on Because Green Bay doesn't want to be the one to appear they're shoving out Aaron Rodgers. And if this were a situation where the Packers just wanted to get him off the books, they'd trade him to any team for a conditional pick(s).

The Raiders weren't going to let other teams talk to Carr until they agreed to the framework of a trade beforehand. I agree about the compensation being discussed already. Where I think we differ is that I think Rodgers clearly holds the cards now. But I don’t think we’re giving up a package that “most” GB fans think they’ll get. And that’s where I’m saying we have leverage. Who are we bidding against? Jets set the market. And the second Rodgers makes a decision on wanting the Jets or retiring. GB in essence has no leverage. So I think the package doesn’t include a 1st. I think at best GB gets a couple 2nds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.O Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I think we end up trading our 2nd this year and a conditional 4th (can turn into a 2nd if Rodgers plays another year). Really interested, outside of the probable Rodgers move, what else we do this off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
