StatKing Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I feel bad for Jets fans. I can only imagine how hyped they are right now. When Rodgers pulls the rug out from under them and returns to GB its gonna sting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carson Wentz was $28.9M in his only year in Washington. And Matt Ryan was $18.7M in his only year in Indianapolis. You're making the argument for me. I appreciate it. apparently you missed the dead cap part of the equation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP or not, the dead cap matters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, what I've said in this thread exactly once each about Aaron Rodgers trade value: (1) If I was another team I wouldn't consider trading what it would take EXCEPT for SF. Otherwise I don't think he's worth it to another team. (2) I believe Rodgers will ultimately fetch a nice trade package because he's a financially valuable employee to an owner. (3) I surmised the total return on a trade for Rodgers would be worth at least the equivalent of picks 30, 31 in the draft. Which, according to various charts is about pick 10-12.

MVP or not, the dead cap matters Rams just won a SB with a 24m Goff dead cap charge, the dead cap for Rodgers won't really matter. Not ideal, but for a franchise like that, worth the gamble and not a killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that Rodgers can take that Jets team and beat out Josh Allen for the division, then have to win against Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes is sort of the beginning of an expectation. The AFC has an established pecking order, and Rodgers with the Jets really doesn’t change that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly wouldn't be the favorite, but if their defense continues on the trend it's been on under Saleh, and they get even average Rodgers level QB play over the last 4 years, that's going to be by far the best team the Jets have had in awhile. Don't see why simply saying they'd be in contention would be far fetched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnarok Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Trade Rodgers, get picks, Love starts next year and goes on to have a first ballot HOF-caliber career. That'd make me happy. Not that I'm biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in contention and legit Super Bowl contenders are two different things to me; LAC and Baltimore are in contention, whoever wins the AFCS is in contention. Depending on which Deshaun Watson shows up, Cleveland is contention. If the Sean Payton/Russell Wilson pairing brings DangeRUSS back, Denver is in contention. You’re right in saying an Aaron Rodgers-led Jets are in contention. The only three teams in the AFC that are legit Super Bowl contenders? Buffalo, KC and Cincy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
