Mazrimiv Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 In a universe where Wilson actually does take the leap and looks like a legit QB for the Jets, what's the next move? Any chance Rodgers would bow out gracefully? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance Rodgers would bow out gracefully? That's a helluva question and one I pondered myself. If Rodgers busts his *** to rehab this thing and finds himself without a job, I'd imagine the chip on his shoulder only grows larger. Next logical step (in this scenario) would be to seek out another team presumably just a QB away from Super Bowl contention. In that event the Packers problem would have fully transformed itself into the Jets problem. As I said, this would by far be the funnest timeline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part is Rodgers to MIN would very much be a possibility. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Guy Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I was a big Zach Wilson fan coming out of college. He's been terrible to say the least. In order for Rodgers to find himself without a job, Wilson is going to have to go through a metamorphosis over the next few weeks or they are going to be looking at Tim Boyle under center. I see the Kirk Cousins rumors that MN would dump him to the Jets. Honestly, what would the Jets be willing to give up for Cousins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trade deadline is Oct 31, so the season isn't even half over. I seriously doubt MIN will be in full tank mode that early, and it's not like Cousins is going to bring a haul of picks.

They could be 2-6 at the trade deadline. Also, last year of Cousins deal so getting anything for him would be better than the 3rd they would get in 2025.

Mazrimiv Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I get the idea behind thinking it makes sense for MIN to bail on Cousins. But I just can't see it happening in October for a relative bag of peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon as they win some games...all that chatter will disappear till the off season. All it is now is fueled by "Do you really think you're going anywhere with him?" thinking. One thing's certain...pundits always gotta pundit about something. When they win a game or two....the pundits will move on.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 A kind of interesting trade scenario for me would be the Jets trading Wilson for Cousins straight up. I have no idea if that is a feasible trade from a cap standpoint, but if (1) the Jets are something like 4-4 with the defense carrying them to those wins, and (2) MIN is floundering with 1 or 2 wins, I could at least imagine both teams considering that deal.

A more comical scenario would be a straight-up Rodgers for Cousins trade, with Rodgers fully on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
