Aaron Rodgers
- Thread starter LRJets
- Start date
Well, let's all hope there is no #1 involved at all.
Green Bay coming across very greedy, the man is 39yo lol
JD deserves to be fired if he gives up a #1.
I have a strong feeling that this trade doesn't happen until post June 1st. The holdup isn't this years draft picks like many are debating. It's financial compensation. So figure somewhere between June and Sept with a total of two draft picks from 2024-2025 or one from each. The media will continue pretending new updates with old information just to get you to read and speculate what each organization would do. It makes for conversation but nothing else.
Packers want this year's 13th overall pick. JD stated this year's 2nd next year's 3rd as conditional that can be a 1st on record. Which I'm ok with, but we need that 13th this year. Now that we have 2 2nds we have wiggle room but GB needs to take what they get and move on from Aaron otherwise we can wait until Sept. and let them take the cap hit for Mr. Rodgers then have fun trying to move him for anything more than a 4th round.
Good to hear from you "G". Like I mentioned somewhere on here recently...........time is no longer on Green Bays side. It will cost them financially if they drag this out too long. It also makes them look bad.
This is absolutely correct. WE have 2 options. 1 is make the trade on our terms and 2 is run it back with Zach. Option 2 is a total tank (and what else is new….) and everyone gets fired . But at lease its 2 options. GB has zero options. Play or retire, Rodgers gets a crippling amount of money from them. Enough that they are in the crapper for multiple years. GB is just trying to get out of this gracefully and make it seem they are doing whatever it takes to maximize their return on Rodgers. So relax…. It will happen right before the draft. It has to if GB wants anything this year. After June 1….. were on to next years picks. I have a distinct feeling Wingo was right…. this is already a done deal and its just playing out for GB benefit
Also….. we are currently addressing Rodgers “wish list” with Lazard and OBJ. No one (not even the Jets brass) is stupid enough to sign or entertain signing these guys unless it’s a done deal. That’s like buying a new set of tires and rims for a car you might buy …….
I see that a lot of Jets fans are still concerned with the Aaron Rogers situation, even some here on our forum. Personally, I am NOT at all concerned. This is my take on the situation and the why of me not being concerned. Green Bay is utterly screwed here. There is some disagreement on who has the power here. This is how I see that. First in the power line is Rogers himself. Aaron could, if he was of a mind to, walk into the front office and say quit screwing the Jets around and get this deal done or I’ll retire. Frankly, I think the only reason he hasn’t is because he’s trying to be nice to an organization where he has played for 18 years. But if he did retire, they would immediately be facing about a $78 Million cap hit which even spread out over 2 years cripples their rebuild. They don’t want this. They can't afford this. If they keep him on the roster they risk losing out with Love who is in his final year of his rookie contract and they need him to play in order to find out if he’s the replacement. So do they pay Rogers a fortune to be his back up. I don’t think so. They could cut him if they are brain dead because it would cost them $43 million cap for this year alone and utterly destroy them financially. Their ONLY REAL OPTION is to trade him. The Jets are the only team interested which puts them #2 in the power line. If I see this, JD, who is a lot savvier about football contracts than I am, also sees it, so I am convinced that he will in no way part with that #1 pick. I would prefer, like the Jets and most of you that the deal get done sooner rather than later, but the deal will get done, IMO.
OBJ, is that getting done?
Honestly nothing is happening right now and it’s just an annoyance for the fans.
GB is trying to extort more value than any 39 year old player will ever be worth in the history of the game. They want the Jets to kickstart their rebuild for a player that was due to retire (cost them 2 more years and a shitload of money), but we should still pay them a kidney and a lung for immediately solving their problems.
It’s really comical if you step back and look at it from a business standpoint. The Jets are bidding against themselves, but by showing their hand and desire, they’ve given away the power (horrible poker strategy to stand singing, dancing and telling everyone you have a royal flush LOL).
I believe the deal gets done (and may already be done), but due to Woodless meddling, 99% sure we will overpay for a deal GB should be on their knees begging us to do.
The FO ran better when Woodless was playing Ambassador. He is his own worse enemy! Intelligent business men don’t hire smart people to micro-manage them and tell them how to do their jobs. Good thing daddy gifted him billions because he’s shown he is only good at messing things up.

great post but?
What happens if Rogers has an accident?
Right now........imo..............we bring in #42.......................but by start of season I hope they have added another capable vet. There are still a couple out there looking for a team that are better than you know who.
JD knows he has all the leverage. Hold strong JD.
Do the Jets really have any leverage at all? They backed themselves into having no choice but to give up what GB wants.
Also, am I the only one thinking that that they are mortgaging their future for a year or two of wildcard at best until they are back to where they were to begin with?
