The Rogers deal is not falling through. He is going to be a Jet. Rogers didn't say he intends to play for the 49ers. He didn't say he intended to play for Tennessee. He did say he intends to play for the Jets. As I stated earlier Rogers has all the power not the packers. They can't trade him to a team he doesn't want to go to. They can't period. So they trade him to the Jets which is the only way they get anything for him. He could, if he was of a mind too, just say he's staying as a $60 mil back up. They sure as hell wouldn't want that. He could just retire and they get zilch for him. Neither of these scenarios make any sense at all for Green Bay. He's coming to the Jets. They'll pay him something like 40 mil and get some needed draft capital in return for him
I might add that whichever supposed insider started that 49ers rumor must have failed math in school. The niners have only around 3 mil in cap space. They'ed be hard pressed to juggle their cap to come up with enough money and they have no picks in rounds one or two this year. How on earth could they beat the Jets offer and not cripple the franchise for the next 20 years ?

All I'll say is that I hope you are right. But as a Jet fan, would the floor dropping out really surprise you? I'm sure we'll all be laughing about the consternation the last few weeks have brought. Or, we'll know that the power of the SOJ has not diminished an iota.

I understand exactly where you're coming from and admit that it's difficult considering the Jets track record with such deals but I've learned to not react to much to all the smoke that hits the air this time of year and try to see only the real facts that show themselves.

I’m soo caught up in the trade that I haven’t fully grasped the magnitude of actually having A. Rodgers Quarterbacking the Jets. He’ll be the best most accomplished QB Jet fans have ever seen, even more so than Favre.

Well so far he is not signed. But could be so much politics involved and that is why they are delaying a response.

When JD stated confidently, “he will be here” it sealed it for me. No way a GM would put his neck on the line like this unless there was already something in place. For a specific reason that we have no idea about they are waiting. It would not surprise me in any way if the draft comes and goes and this is not resolved. I think the date is June 1st when trading him would be more beneficial for the pack from a money standpoint. My bet is that is when it will happen.

Why is this even up for debate anymore? Rodgers Is recuiting guys to play for the Jets. Would He be doing that if He was going to another team? No. Only way this falls through is if the PACKERS screw it up. Jets have done everything in their power to make this happen. The only thing they are guilty of is not having a PUBLIC backup plan.

is it?? or is it just the people who are supposed to be in the know?? because when these cats don't know shit, they just make shit up instead.. our old buddy manish mehta comes to mind.. granted he was a next level fraud..

& sadly there is no backup plan.. it's rogers or abject failure at this point regardless of who is to blame..

There is a significant cost savings for the Packers to do the trade post June so this is a real possibility that I mentioned once before.

Hey we don't shit about what deals have been made on the inside.
In the past that would worry me.
The Jets have run a surprisingly tight ship in terms of not leaking any relevant info.
That's a new development .
Mehta and certain others being gone?
Could be.

Look at what a-hole Brady Quinn did to CJ Stroud. Quinn made a comment about him blowing off some camp He never committed too. Didn't do the research and now his draft stock is falling. If by some miracle CJ Stroud falls to the Jets they BETTER draft Him. Media is unbelievable. Yayy! Let's give morons a platform. Oh wait they did.

Hate to burst your bubble
49ers have 3 3rd, 3 5ths, a 6th & 7th this year.

Expecting 5 compensatory picks in 2024 with one a 3rd round.

they have all but their 3rd round picks in 2024. Which they essentially get that one back as a compensatory selection.

all they have to do is offer 2024 1st, and 3rd along with 2 3s this year and also give up either Trey Lance or Brock Purdy in the deal.

but to me it is just a smoke screen, noise made up from the media.

Yeah "G" they could go that route but it's not really practical. They still have to figure out the cap situation and that won't be easy and the Packers are looking to get help for their new, basically unknown, QB this season and picks in 2024 won't help with that. But hey, anything is possible, almost. I wouldn't be surprised to see Trey Lance traded for picks or to move up in the draft though.

If that's the case, will we be drafting for Packers with one of our 2nd round picks like they do in the NBA, or do the rules preclude us from dealing current draftees?
