That or they’ll completely ignore their previous statements that there’s no way it’s for a 1st. I think #13 is very important to the Packers. They kicked so much money into the future that they need those rookie contracts going forward until they can get all that dead money off the books. Plus they know they'll have to pay love if he hits. Four first rounders in two years would help this franchises future cap situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat&Beer Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Quote Peter Bukowski@Peter_BukowskiAlso interesting one executive said he doesn’t think Gutekunst WANTS to trade Rodgers until post June 1 (for the cap savings) and that the Jets will have to incentivize the #Packers to do so. Don't know if there's any validity to this, but it's an interesting take. It would mean no draft picks from the Jets this year, but perhaps a Jets wide receiver could be part of the compensation?

Packers have an incentive to wait, Jets I would assume would want to get him in the building ASAP. It's frustrating to have this situation keep dragging on but GB has no need to rush anything. Money wise it doesn't matter until week one, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to scoff at that at first reading, but that would be advantageous from a salary cap standpoint. Draft capital for this year would be a little complicated though. Still could be worked around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly thought The Jets played this as poorly as they possibly could, and now they’re gotta have to pay up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFLGURU Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) I got a question for the Legal Beagles. If Rodgers wanted to be petty (very, very petty) Could he go to the Packers or Jets and say "I'm not signing anything unless the Packers are paying X amount of this contract" . Im sure he likely doesn't care where it comes from, just that he gets it. My question isn't would he do that, it's COULD he do that? Again it would be very petty, and unlikely to happen, but just curious if he was really pissed if he could do that.

Well, if the Jets won't make an offer the Packers won't refuse before the Draft, then the Packers probably don't want to trade him until after June 1st for cap reasons. The Packers reasons to trade Rodgers between now and the draft are "to get picks in this draft"and the Packers reasons to trade Rodgers between April 28th and June 1st are nonexistent.

If a deal is reached after June 2 the Packers can shift their focus to Jets roster players for compensation this year and then snag a high pick or two from them in 2024. Then at least we'd have a useful player or two to help us out immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattlipp Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Yeah if we don’t get 1(13), just sit tight until June-August. Allow Dunn to talk to everyone . We just have to hope Woody doesn’t kick the bucket before caving. Edited March 18, 2023 by fattlipp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzPackfan Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Gute needs to be firm with the Jets and say this is the deal: 2023 - Pick 13 or 2 x 2nd Rounders 2024 - 2nd and 4th rounder 2025 - Conditional 4th rounder If we can get 3 x 2nds and 2 x 4ths it’s a fair deal IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pack4to84 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 If they wait tell after the draft then other teams might get involved that didn't have the draft picks this year to sway the Packers. Aka 49ers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
