How about your schtick?

Will you admit you were wrong regarding the Jets interest in Rodgers?

He never will, and will just put you on ignore.

Yup, gonna be alot of cynics if this does get completed.

All I'm hoping for is alot of fun, a competative season right up to (and hopefully beyond) the final week of the season, and competent NFL-quality QB play.

Something we haven't had much of the last 12 years, outside of 2015.

Sometimes you have to say "the way we have tried hasn't worked, we need to change to a more radical approach". This is that radical approach.

Can it explode in the faces of the Jets? Oh, hell yes it can. But, I still like to watch clips of the Hindenburg crashing along with the huge manatee exclamations. It should at least be entertaining.

And, the stock of Jetnation just increased another three fold.

Green Bay is on theclock. No deal a big payday for Rogers. Joe Douglas here’s the deal. Play Hardball Joe

Packers have no leverage and have decision to make themselves.  They need to free up coin for free agents too and Rodgers' presence holds that up.

Deal will happen soon.  This won't drag into the summer.

Serious question: how does it effect GB free agency? Do you think they are big players in free agency? 

[SoJetsy]

I get he’s melancholy about GB but I don’t get enthusiasm for the Jets!

No but they still need money to make some decisions, and Rodgers' contract is a bit of an albatross there.

They currently only have $16M in effective cap space per OTC.

[JETS SB]

So how long do we wait for the trade to actually happen and what are we going to give up.. Did we just lose leverage ?

Yep he gets to sit on the sidelines and surf MILF.COM during gamedays.

Dude is burning the bridge so he can go balls deep and focus on bringing the Jets to the Super Bowl.  Legacy building 101.

This move, presuming it happens, does two things, and doesn't do one vital thing:

1. It DOES provide the Jets with objectively solid QB play.  For a short time, yes, but for the first time since 2015, and the best since 2010 at least.  Outside of injury, the worst case is likely close to the all-time best season for a Jets QB (literally, Rodgers down 2022 season would have been 4th best in our history!)

2. It DOES provide JD/Saleh time and breathing room, to try and win now, while having a longer window to address QB for the long-term.

3. It DOES NOT mean we're going to have to give up Sauce, or G. Wilson, or QW, or AVT or our other young talent core.  We will have time to sign them too when the time comes, and to draft more between now and then.

4. It also DOES NOT save Zach Wilson......but it does give him a 1-2 year opportunity to save his own career.  If he does so will be on him, this is about as perfect a 2nd chance as he was ever going to get.

What player, in the history of sports, has announced a trade to another team, before the trade was announced by the team or the trade  was “official”. 

At least one that I can think of at the moment.

Aaron Rodgers.

I wonder if the basic terms had been agreed upon around the time the Jets hired hackett and then somewhere along the way, the Packers got greedy and tried to alter the terms and Douglas said  original terms or no deal?  

So the deadline is probably the Draft at least in the Packers mind. I have waited 50+ years, whats a few more weeks because #@&? them.

[rtnelson]

He's the most selfish player I've ever seen!  When the team wants to move on, he's sitting around waiting for a deal to get done!?  What a prick.

Edit: I guess this needed a sarcasm tag.  My bad.

[whodeawhodat]

looking forward to the packers offense with Aaron Rodgers leading Jets players along with Lazzard. 

Lets get it!!!

[Tranquilo]

I think the craziest thing Rodgers said was the Packers holding up the trade. Don't think I've seen a player take away leverage from his team like that.

How can you listen to what he is saying and believe that?

Those people say what they are told to say. Give them time to check in with their echo chamber. They'll come back.

I’m just trying to understand the leverage the Jets have to get a decision today before free agency. No way Lazard signs if Rogers not signed. I get the sense GB can drag this out and screw up the Jets free agency without effecting the Rogers endgame for themselves

We just gained a ton of leverage. Packers can't force him to retire and can't force him to accept a trade to a different team and the packers can't afford to pay Rodgers this year to back up Love.

He left bo doubt that he's ONLY playing for the jets.

Loves Green Bays old guard, loves the city, loves the fans, new regime can suck his dik, wants to play for Jets and nobody puts Nathaniel Hackett in a corner!!

He wants to be a Jet but he’s not.

 

it’s out of his hands. How much compensation do the Jets give up vs how much GB is willing to accept. Right now GB has the power to delay the signing and most likely screw up free agency for the Jets with an unsettled QB situation . Not optimal

No actually it doesn't screw up FA, because he publicly announced it and he could really **** GB over if they don't get it done and the Jets have more money to move around for the moment

[RoadFan]

 I  listened to Aaron Rodgers on Pat McAfee show and am sure there are other takes in the thread, but here is mine.

AR said the Jets knew he wants to play for them on Friday.  Said the delay is that the Packers are digging in their heels on compensation.  

He mentioned being an MVP a couple of times and sounded butthurt about how the Packers handled wanting to move on from him to Jordan Love.  “There’s a right way to do things and a wrong way.”  I don’t know if he wanted a red carpet on the way out the door or what?  

My take: We already knew he is a smug guy, this interview confirmed it again.  However, he is not wishy washy about wanting to play for the Jets.  He did not give the Jets a list of demands, he discussed a few teammates and described their value.

That about sums it up…

You think Lazard isn't operating as if Rodgers won't be throwing him passes?

Everyone knows it's happening.  Likely before the draft.  Everyone knows Rodgers will be a Jet.  Dragging this out hurts the Packers more than us.

Only way the Jets would lose the leverage here is if another NFL team jumped in on the Rodgers' sweepstakes in the 11th hour.  Maybe that's what GB is hoping for.  But Rodgers saying publicly his intent is to play for the Jets, even if he's not being 100 % truthful about that, doesn't help things for GB.
