The NFL is very aware of its public image, and if this goes on for months expect the NFL to push for a solution. They aren't taking sides, they'll want it done and not have a star player in THEIR league in limbo. Apparently it's beyond comprehension for many. Wrong on every count. Rodg is not in limbo, he is under contract and owned by the Green Bay Packers. He will play next year. The NFL has zero say in the matter. This could easily role into draft day, but I expect the Jets will come closer to the Packer demands in the next week or so and the deal will be completed. This is between the teams, not the NFL.

Owned, and folks wonder why players fight back. I have said this for a few days. Fans think it too:). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
15412 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Fight back about what? They are under contract, that team owns their rights. Pretty simple concept. If the players don't like it they can get a real job, or find a way to claim to be a victim and live off the work of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the two are related, big time. So probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only now does a team like the Packers have to show gratitude to the player by taking a substandard trade return. What a farce of a narrative that is. That’s right, this doesn’t happen to any other team. It’s shocking how in the tank the national media is for the Jets winning this. Or maybe it’s not shocking at all.

If they really like a kid or two coming out next year... then yes. Or eyeballing a FA signing next year, and taking the haul of a top 5 pick. Also yes.

Find me literally any precedent where the NFL got involved I. Trade compensation discussions or shut up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to survive like 17-34 True, he'll land on his feet though, I think the worst part of these deals this time of year revolve around GM's trying to buy themselves a few more years of job security without the best interest of the team. You see that quite often unfortunately. Coaches can coach and have that fraternity of people that'll add them to their staff, ect. GM's tend to be corporate sharks in suits, which is why i'm always so confused when folks put them on pedestals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Rodgers feels he did Green Bay a solid by agreeing to speak to the Jets and agreeing to play there. I don't see Rodgers doing Green Bay another solid by agreeing to talk to another team and go somewhere else. Having said all of this, I hope you are right. The question for you is who would that be?

It was the Jets owner who spoke up about being willing to give up 2 - FRPs to the Packers, not the GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I realize that isn't actually what is happening. Edited March 16, 2023 by Mazrimiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so often the best player in franchise history is traded after playing for 18 years. I don't think anyone is saying they should take less value but to act like it's not in the organizations best interest to treat him reasonably well is wrong. We are already the worst free agent city in the NFL, no need to try and hurt that further. Some fans want us to keep him out of spite which is crazy. That does nothing but put more pressure on Love and hurts the team without getting anything for him. Get some picks for him so we can sign our one free agent and get ready for the draft.
