lmfao, OBJ and Aaron Rodgers.

Remember when they were building this the right way, a way Jets fans have never seen done properly because usually it's a quick fix or something?  lolololol

Building it the right way = having an established young core and, if you don't have a QB already, attracting one.  Isn't this an example of that?

I seem to remember the LA Rams adding a QB plus OBJ and winning a title.  Granted, we don't have an Aaron Donald.  But we do have Sauce, QW, Garrett Wilson, Breece and AVT.  Not too shabby.

The NFL tweeted that the Jets are closing in on a 4 year deal. This is what it looks like without Schefter and Rapaport tweeting everything

Jets get lots of ex Packers. Aaron Rodgers decides Jets resemble Packers too much and Aaron Rodgers retires.

The Rams went 43-21 under McVay before Stafford got there, including three playoff wins and a Super Bowl appearance.

If we trade Ruckert and Moore and replace them with Mercedes Lewis and Randall Cobb then JD better win the Super Bowl because those moves go against every single thing that has been preached about building a roster with high quality guys. On top of that, Rogers "wish list" has done nothing but hurt JD's bargaining position wtih the Packers.

If im Gutenkunst, then why am I not going to force JD into restocking my roster with young guys - what choice does he have at this point?  

2nd in 2023 and a 3rd in 2024, fix my salary cap, give me 2-3 young players to restock my team and get rid of this yearly headache who may not want to even play football anymore - The Packers front office is probably thrilled with the way this is playing out.

And for anyone comparing this to the Bucs - Brady gave them a commitment of multiple years all at a reasonable contract number and had a history of being someone who leads a locker room.  Rogers brings NONE of that here and could easily start to show his age even more and leave us with dead cap room, a depleted roster and no QB.

This is really starting to go in the wrong direction

You know, it's funny, if you recall, I created the "if you build it, they will come" thread regarding JD building a roster that would attract Russ or Rodgers and here we are but this all is just stinky right now.   Idk, I didnt envision getting bent over the in the process and JD essentially cowering to his every demand but, beggers cant be choosers.  W/ Lazard reportingly signed, I assume this is happening

Hopefully Mims can learn something from Lazard.... although I think Mims gets traded for a 7th rounder on Draft Day

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.

Look, if after 20 years of watching everything that Woody has had his hands directly on blow up spectacularly, and you feel that this time will be different, then you are a better man than me.

How dare you forget about the best #2 CB in the league ... DJ Reed?

I see it the same way ... the Jets have 6 elite players at their positions, without Rodgers.  

Let's just make sure we don't throw away Elijah Moore & Jeremy Ruckert as we balance out which of Rodgers guys to bring in.

Your general point is valid, but OBJ has an ACL injury and is two years older since his time with the Rams.  What exactly does he add to a receiving corps of Wilson, Moore, Lazard?  NFW to OBJ, unless he comes here for a cheap contract and is ok playing a very complementary role.  The Jets have other needs to fill. WR is not a need right now.

QW can be that version of Aaron Donald, or at least come close.

I mean, you want to talk about media members who are having a rough few days, Hughes has been Bambi on Ice in these TV hits.

Lol Adam Schefter really trying to put info out there. As if that wasn't obvious already. I think @choon328 was the person that mentioned they heard the Jets couldn't even sign Rodgers until a year after he signed his most recent contract, which was like a year ago today or tomorrow

They can’t until the new league year. The Giants haven’t announced Waller yet either.

If they all come fairly cheap to play with Rodgers... how does it hurt?

Seriously. First I doubt we get all of them. But let's say we get 2 and on inexpensive deals. They are just pieces...we aren't relying on them to be franchise players
