What you are saying is true, but the Packers need the Jets in this deal just as much. The Packers don't have to trade him though, his option bonus can be delayed until September. There's also a chance another team could get involved after an injury or another unforeseen circumstance. If the Jets had the leverage a deal would already be done.

If Rodgers has picked NY he is playing in NY. The Packers can't trade him to just any team because he can just say he will retire if another team trades for him. The Packers will not play chicken on this deal into training camp. It won't happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramssuperbowl99 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I cannot imagine a more painful way to earn a slightly higher pick in the draft than keeping a disgruntled, petty Aaron Rodgers around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the trade will either take place before the draft or before the bonus payment. After watching that interview, I’ll wait. Training camp isnt until July and Rodgers already knows the playbook. But only one of your receivers know the hand signals..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They love their next QB and have really secure jobs. They own the rights to an asset they know the Jets desperately want. And they have all the time in the world to sit on it and wait. We can wait and see if a starter gets hurt in camp and suddenly there's another suitor. Still shaking my head at the "understanding" of actual leverage in this whole situation. The Packers bet Aaron wouldn't actually retire. A really safe gamble. The second he decided he wants to keep playing, the Packers have all the leverage. Just wait and see. Just saw that Andrew saw exactly what I did: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greene N White Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Any asset whether it be bitcoin, a car, or an NFL player is worth what someone will pay for it. Unfortunately for the packers they only have one suitor so once again they can get nothing or take what they can get. At this point Aaron Rodgers is what would be known in business terms as a sunk cost for Green Bay. Maybe Packers fans live in a world where nothing is better than something but most of us live on earth where that is not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Rodgers can "pick" another team if the Jets are the only one that's shown interest in trading for him. I think a lot of teams were scared off by the potential to end up in this exact situation. At the end of the day the Jets basically have to get a deal done, if Rodgers has to return to Green Bay it's not the end of the world for them.

Soko Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) What’re the numbers for the Jets again? GB can sit on their hands and tie up whatever money Rodgers is going to cost. He already cost them money on Lazard, lol (I know it’ll be a wash with Corey Davis) Edited March 15, 2023 by Yin-Yang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, if the Packers think there's a bright and shiny draft pick at the end of that rainbow, I wish them the best of luck. That's living with an ex to save on rent money level stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets do have to get a deal done.... but now so does GB. The Pack are not going to pay Aaron Rodgers to backup Love. Sure the Pack can stall it out, but they aren't going to stall this out deep into the summer. It just won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the Jets aren't willing to give them the picks that they want. I think the Jets need to acquire Rodgers more than the Packers need to trade him, to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
