Q: What happens if we get Rogers, and he quickly retires

[HighPitch]

Do we lose our draft compensation to green bay?

No trade will occur without Rodgers committing to playing this year. In a hypothetical world where he accepted the trade and his option bonus then changed his mind in June and decided to retire, we would lose the pick sent in 2023 and Rodgers would have to return the option money. If he played for one year then retired next year, I would expect the Jets would protect themselves by making the 2024 draft pick conditional

Think about the whole process of the trade. 

What do you think?

Obviously that would suck, but it would also be extremely hilarious

Rodgers: I have decided to play football in 2023.

Packers: we have traded Aaron Rodgers to the nyj

Rodgers: lol. JK, I'm retiring.

I would think any trade compensation would include a clawback if he retires after 1 year. No way they trade a first just for 1 year.

What if we get Rodgers and he’s swiftly murdered by a dead-rabbit-holding man

Then a bunch of people who were afraid of this get to win at Internets.  

Also it's not happening. Nobody forgoes a $60MM payday to do the one thing in this life he's great at, in the remaining couple opportunities to perform this perishable skill that'll be perished before he knows it.

Carr won't be retiring. Problem solved. 

[Biggs]

What happens if he plays 11 games.  We’re 8&3 his arm falls off and we don’t make the playoffs?  Does Saleh and Douglas get fired for not meeting the secret playoff mandate that they don’t have?

I'd think any trade that the Jets agree to will have conditions attached, should Rodgers retire before playing a game (or retiring after 1 season). I think a fair deal can be worked out that gives GB fair compensation for Rodgers, but also which offers some protection to the Jets should Rodgers not be on the team.

Another new avitar? Do you have some type of online NIL deal working? $10 /day and you upload whatever photo people want? I guess I’ll see Little Caesars tomorrow.

[TuscanyTile2]

Then we'll be laughed at by fans and the national (and local) media alike, and we'll hear "SOJ!" non-stop.

In other words, things really won't be much different than they are now.

Bigger question - what if we trade away draft picks to get Rodgers and he just tears apart the team, sucks, just doesn't care, or worse tries really hard and we still don't make the playoffs? Then we are stuck with a 40 million/year aging QB, holes on team due to lost picks and no cap. Then we could look forward to yet another rebuild.
