DWhitehurst Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 7 hours ago, OneTwoSixFive said: Really ! Then Rodgers says "I'm retiring instead..... and all the money you pushed into the future becomes due.....now." So...be...it. Due to that contract, there will be some pain regardless of what they do or don't do. It's just that to me at least, maintaining self-respect is invaluable and getting fleeced by the Jets so as to mitigate some of that pain is not in my opinion the way to go.

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. Bart Starr is getting traded? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom S hasn't had a clue all year on the Packers and he definitely isn't a Rodgers fan. In his mind a pair of thirds would be probably enough .. in his mind .. nobody elses.

Reciprocation is a two way street. Also, lets not pretend that GB did not treat him well. He was the highest paid QB in the league for a while and treated as a god by many fans.

NFLGURU Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 2 minutes ago, Outpost31 said: Find me literally any precedent where the NFL got involved I. Trade compensation discussions or shut up on it. Again, nobody said anything about discussing trade compensation except you. The NFL would be there to push for a solution. THEY ARENT getting involved in the back and forth between the teams or discussing what or who is going where. Goodell getting Woody Johnson and Murphy on the conference call and saying "Youve been haggling for 5 months, Our season starts in 2 weeks let's get the Rodgers situation fixed, trade him or don't trade him, let's resolve this You guys figure it out over the next week" The NFL is all over that kinda stuff, it's what they do. The NFL does what's in the NFLs best interest, and having Aaron Rodgers bogged down in trade issues for 5 months and missing games isn't in the NFLs best interest.

PossibleCabbage Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I think people are really jumping the gun on the urgency of getting something done. The Jets likely aren't going to lose out on anything if this goes another month, and neither are the Packers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he picked the Jets out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
