The Packers almost "ran the table", but it wasn't because of him. He ended the season incredibly mediocre. I don't think this is going to work out for the Jets the way they think it will. I think "cooked" is pushing it. They had issues on the OL, a super young WR core, and he was dealing with a thumb injury for most of last year and still had a top 10 season in terms of production. Dude is a year removed from winning back to back MVPs. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, let's be real, Aaron Rodgers ego is too big to sit out a season because he didn't get his way. I'm not saying I think Green Bay is in a position to get market value for Rodgers - because there really isn't a relevant litmus test for what constitutes "market value" given his age and remaining contract), but painting the Jets as being in pole position to get a Randy-Moss-to-the-Pats kind of sweet deal is disingenuous to say the least. The same NY media that will be roasting the Jets after hearing all this pre-trade drama? This is why the media isn't the GM, you don't let public opinion build your team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbrog24 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 18 minutes ago, tyler735 said: Agreed, the Jets could easily grab a QB in the draft if GB is too stubborn to work out a deal with no leverage. This would likely either lead to Rodgers creating a circus so large it becomes a major distraction to the team, or they are forced to released him with no compensation in return. Especially with the reports that Love would request a trade if he doesn't play this year. There is just no good angle for the Packers to dig their heels in on the Rodgers situation. Except they do. They've already not been able to have a clear vision within free agency because the Rodgers deal is holding them up...that certainly affects next year especially if they do get him (because they would have a short window to win). This is also likely the last big move that Joe Douglas makes which will be either boom or bust. Future picks don't matter in a splash like this because you either win or don't. You think if he alternatively chooses to draft and develop, he will see the end of that development? I don't especially with recent Jets history. Point being there's more leverage here than you think. Whether that results in a first or not remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy gets it. Another factor is the Packers are on the hook for the contract whether he is traded, sits, or retires so unlike a lot of trades that are floating large cap relief till they are completed the cap hit or relief isn't really that big of a deal for the Packers. IMO the Jets need Rodgers more than the Packers need an extra 3rd round pick all things staying the same. The value has to be there for Gute and he is not going to get raked over the coals just because there isn't another trade partner. The Packers are not going to be distracted by Aarons ongoing drama they have been dealing with it for a couple years now and outside of Bahk most of Rodgers old guard is now gone. The internal drama that may have happened two or three years ago with all of Rodgers buddies on the roster probably isn't the same reaction as of 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly didn’t prevent them from making a splash WR signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I think the ONLY reason Rodgers didn’t retire is Brady retired the same year and his HoF induction would have been totally overshadowed by Brady. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
