Mr Anonymous Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Just now, Packerraymond said: You honestly think after all this has leaked out over how fed-up with Aaron they are, that they would let him come back on his own terms? That would be the entire organization taking a public castration in front of the whole NFL audience. If he comes back, expect him to take a paycut and be there for the entire offseason program. They're not "fed up" with him though. Being willing to move on because Love showed some improvement does not equal "get rid of him at all costs". They can be hopeful Rodgers wants to go elsewhere, while being scared to death that ultimately he's going to want to stay. And from what I've been led to believe, they'll cave if Rodgers insists on staying. Pretty simple actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoremore Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 1 hour ago, R T said: And the spotlight finally lands on why the compensation is not going to be what many are dreaming it will be. Well put yourself out there. What do you think compensation will be? I'm thinking a #1 and a player this year. #2 conditional in 2024. Pretty much in line with what Old Guy is thinking. Maybe we help them by eating 20 mil of the 60 mil owed really not sure about how any of that would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets will become responsible for his 2025 and 2026 voids I believe. there are no 2025 or 26 voids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransientTexan Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 6 minutes ago, HokieHigh said: Rodgers had a last dance a contract he was not disgruntled by. Packers are trading cash this year for picks that will have a long term impact. Jets couldnt afford rodgers if we werent picking up a big portion of the tab that he commands. This is enabled by the structure of the deal. It’s not like NYJ is getting a discount from market-rate of what a top-5 QB would cost. Even if they eat $20m, AR would still cost the Jets a top-4 QB cap hit for the next 2 yr. Hypothetically, if GB hadn’t overpaid so much (for example including $20m less in the original extension), they could still have gotten pick #13 & 43 from the NYJ right now. And have $20m more in their own pocket on top of it. GB is just cleaning up their own mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About an equal chance he decides he wants to be the GOAT of the XFL and the first payer traded from one league to another. Should we start discussing that possibility? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Anonymous Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Don't make me root for Rodgers to want to stay @Packerraymond I want nothing more than for him to be successfully wooed by the Jets and take management off the hook even at the expense of everyone here telling me I was wrong. I won't have been wrong about anything other than misreading Rodgers but I'll be much more excited about this coming season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when you said it doesn't matter, what you meant to say was "unequivocally, the Jets" but you said "doesn't matter" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointment over no trade at all will take things to a completely different level. Like I said earlier .. I'll riot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Anonymous Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I just wish it was literally any team other than the Jets. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Rodgers turns them down for no other reason than not wanting to repeat the Favre storyline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
