Your dilemma becomes: Do you hope the Jets suck and the pick goes higher?? , OR do you hope the Jets have better season so he comes back? Somewhere in the middle?? Unless they are facing GB, I'll want the Jets to win the SB 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far as I'm concerned, Love is an unknown to us, similar to Rodgers way back when. Rodgers is known. His "poor" play is around top 1/3 of QB's in the league. His good play is elite. Can't say that about Love, but it is time to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Rodgers has always controlled the outcome. That remains true. Posters have noted that the Jets have no leverage. Objectively, the Packers have no leverage either. (*unless* there is a 2nd team who's serious and who Rodgers has approved.) I think this is a strange case where two teams want a deal to happen, neither with any leverage. If anything, the Packers may have even less. (The Jets could add Garoppolo, for example.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamSamn Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Gotta say it- Just waiting for Rodgers to pull the rug out on any trade and say he's coming back to Green Bay for one last year and do a retirement tour...just seems too on brand, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a strange case where two teams want a deal to happen, neither with any leverage. If anything, the Packers may have even less. (The Jets could add Garoppolo, for example.) The Packers still have almost all the leverage. Rodgers controls one decision: whether or not to play football. GB controls everything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Rodgers' power play is probably to reach a secret agreement with the Jets and then retire, then unretire after the draft and demand a trade to the Jets. Just so he can play with New York and the offensive player the Jets would take at 13. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Favre did something similar, he waited until being removed from the Reserved/Retired list and put on the roster would put the Packers over the salary cap which would make him a free agent.

It's not a matter of rooting against the Packers. As if a few draft spots is going to make or break the Packers future. It's silly. I want no part of Rodgers in a GB uniform going fwd, but I would enjoy the heck out of him leaving GB and having one of his magical years for the Jets. If he actually closed the deal for them with a SB win, even better. Not sure why that would be hard for any GB fan to acknowledge or accept.

smetana34 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 This feels like a situation that's going to be a lot of swapping of picks. Something like Rodgers, 2023 2nd, and 2024 3rd for the Jets 2023 1st and 2024 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
