Somebody who purposely drinks Ayahuasca tea to go on an inward journey of self-discovery is not operating on the level most people operate on. 

Seems kind of judgemental and ignorant. Being a SB winner and multiple time league MVP is also not operating on a level most people operate on. Also, lets look at that "most people" concept. The average person isn't impressive whatsoever, and the bar for said group keeps getting lower and lower each day. Do you consider yourself as part of the "most people" group? Because they're a sad bunch heading for disaster in general. Don't aspire to be "most people" be yourself.

Nah.  Terms of deal were likely done a while ago.  No idea why no "announcement" but don't think it's the compensation package. 

no i dont think so - framework of deal maybe - but things can change as desperation sets in both teams

GB has more leverage then I believe people think here and they are probably trying to squeeze JD and that is the hold up.

 

somebody owes aaron rodgers $58.7 million between march 17 and week 1.  if GB can't trade rodgers and if rodgers doesn't retire, then GB will be writing the check and incurring the cap hit this year and beyond for this payment

They don’t really / no other team has even been said to have had interest in AR.  If they keep pushing then JD could just say, ok never mind, then the packers are stuck with a guy they owe 60M to and they don’t want anymore.

I'm sorry but the entire online and print media have been completely shut out of this  entire process and not a single shred of info has been leaked (other than Wingo's tweet), but yet I'm supposed to believe that THIS "reporter" has found some magic treasure chest of info?  I call COMPLETE BS!!!  THIS is exactly why people despise the media.  Complete fabrication of "facts" for a few seconds of spotlight and clicks.  Nauseating.

Yes but I believe they are betting on 3 things and willing to risk that (which they created the situation in 1st place)

1. he doesnt want to retire

2. He wants a change of scenery (jets)

3. Jets desperately want him (obvious) to the point where they now "almost" desperately need him

No one is giving Odell $15mm to $20mm.  I think he would be lucky to get $10mm

In the scenario unfolding he gets to get his "realistic" contract (with incentives) while also publicly saying he "gave up money" for the chance to win with Rodgers. I don't think he ultimately signs here, but I could see it

I also think some need to step back and realize how realistic his wishlist is.

 

An UFA that I would’ve liked us to target anyway that’s still only 27 that’s a big body WR that we need.

An UFA TE that’s great at blocking that’s cheap. 

An UFA vet slot WR that’s cheap.

And an UFA that likely would sacrifice $$$ for probably only us.

 

It’s not like he said we need to trade for a proven #1 WR, a great starting LT, a star RB. Etc.

 

He gave very realistic options that actual would make us better.

Exactly. These players can be added without gutting the core of the team elsewhere and hopefully with giving Quinnen his extension.

They have all the leverage in the world. They are dealing with Woody.

So what you're saying is past your cheap attempt at a one liner they don't have any. GB needs to, and wants to, trade AR which their GM pretty much said this past Friday. Don't get me wrong I like a good Woody joke, but that was more you raising a white flag than anything else.

Thats the thing - JD has now put himself in position where walking away now damages himself

Joe is extremely convicted when it comes to talent and not letting guys go as we've already come to learn with others so while the initial reaction is that they'd have to make room for touches, it wouldn't be a shock to see this hardline stance. Maybe they just say f it lets create a super squad at WR if that's what Aaron wants? Lol imagine a receiver group of Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore, Allen Lazard, Odell Beckham, Randall Cobb, and Denzel Mims my god... in reality I don't expect them to land every WR Rodgers wants, but if they do it'll be more of a 1-year deal as Rodgers acclimates to some of the guys we already have in-house 

Wilson (Rookie Deal) #1
Lazard (2 year Deal) #2
Moore (Rookie Deal) Slot
Cobb (1 year deal) and Mims (last of his rookie deal) as depth.

No OBJ.

Draft a WR in the mid-rounds in 2023.

That's a more than good enough unit for Rodgers to work with, with a mix of familiar and young talent, and should provide more than enough weapons, especially with what we already have at TE.

And it doesn't break the bank.

And maybe, with Rodgers, Carter/Knight at RB actually aren't so JAG-y backing up/holding the fort for Breece Hall's return.

i can't discount the woody mingling in matters possibility, but JD's track record on trades is pretty good.  i'll take my chances with him negotiating this deal.

plus, the packers are just as desperate to want to move rodgers as the jets may apparently be to get him.  their president basically said we don't want him back.  hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube on that one.

i think at some point JD has to take the deal and live with consequences good or bad

You are correct, and I don't think this is lost on people either. It's just people desperately pushing a narrative because for them they'd rather the team failed than go in a different direction than what they themselves want. Or the always present fan who cares more about "being right" and ragging on others.

Aaron Wilson @AaronWilson_NFL

Panthers cut Pat Elflein

 

I hope he wasn't on AR's list

I am making assumptions that some of the aspects are not fully agreed to - like how much $$ of the contract will GB pay and then draft pick round or conditions, and or any players may be included

I agree basic framework has been in place for while but finer more import details like $$ , this round vs that or which players..

What's their leverage? Not wanting the guy and expressing such, the huge yet non existent trade market for AR, or the cap bomb they themselves are facing?

I don't see the Jets signing OBJ and Cobb and Lewis are low salary bottom of the roster type guys now...a lot of hulabaloo over signing Alan Lazard.

I don't see it either, but there's a lot of smoke around the OBJ and Thielen situations...

I think this:

- Some Jets players have been frustrated about the process dragging out.

Is an outright fabrication. 

The only Jets players who would be "frustrated" right now, are those who think Rodgers, or his desire to sign a few old friends, might cost them snaps/touches.  Not because it's "dragging out".

Calling 100% BS on this line.  

Z.Wilson/Moore/Mims bitching, perhaps, but not because it's dragging out, but because it's happening at all.

when do the Jets expect Hall back next season?  midway or can he come back sooner?

They wrote that contract, they made their bed, they probably now trying to off-load the whole thing on JD whereas JD probably not having.  I think in the end though it will happen at last minute.

So much for all the talk that JD got a 6 year deal and total control.

Woody is a disaster.  Maybe we should get his brother Chris to weigh in.

 

Eh, that requires the franchise to not be in ruins when you bought it in the first place. Who knows one day you may have a rich boss who gives you a directive and while contractually you may not be required to fulfill it you'll probably realize it's the thing to do. I like the picture though as in no way do I think the Dicks are bright.

It seems it has to be either Lazard or OBJ from a contract $$ perspective (taking over Davis $$)..
