It’s always critical, in a deadline-driven business, to get two negotiating parties to agree on the deadline. The Packers think the deadline is draft. The Jets should take the initiative and say, “No, it’s the start of training camp.” The Jets should make a non-negotiable offer that will remain open until the 2023 draft. They should tell the Packers that, after the 2023 draft, the non-negotiable offer will pivot to the 2024 draft — and possibly 2025, in the event Rodgers plays in 2024. They should tell the Packers the non-negotiable offer stays on the table until training camp opens. At the same time, Rodgers should tell the Packers that, if he’s not traded before the start of training camp, he’ll be showing up, just like Brett Favre did 15 years ago.

Popular Post JTJet Posted March 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2023 5 minutes ago, Biggs said: Again The Packers don't want him the Jets do. The Packers and the Jets are actually business partners and share revenue together. That said Rodgers wants more money. The Packers don't want to pay it and neither do the Jets. This is about money. The draft picks are also tied to money. It's Rodgers who's likely the problem. There is absolutely zero evidence to support this. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcJet Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 2 hours ago, Dcat said: I beg to disagree. From all accounts, it's Packers trying to up the terms of the deal. Coincidentally, ever since Rodgers embarrassed the Packers of that Mcafee show. Jets want Rodgers, but can and will pivot to a lesser choice if need be. Packers need Rodgers gone, not just for Jordan Love's benefit, but otherwise they have two years of irreparable cap damage. It'll all get done before the draft. There is no way Green Bay turns down that upcoming 2nd 3rd round pick. Fixed it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an opportunity to renegiotate and get more money and he's not likely to let his last bite at the apple go easily. There is no evidence that Rodgers has ever taken less than full market price when he has leverage for his benifit at the expense of the team. There is zero evidence Rodgers has ever put winning over money. This take that Green Bay is the bad guy is insane. They practically sucked him off nationally when he was dicking them around about leaving when he got the current deal he has that was made in good faith. Rodgers has leverage over Green Bay because he has threatened them multiple times as a negiotating ploy and has won. The fact that he is screwing them on a deal that everyone knew had to be regnegiotated if he didn't retire says alot about Rodgers. He's a bitch. To think he's not using his last bite to get max value for himself is crazy.

Biggs Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 It's one thing for Jets fans to want to take a swing with Rodgers who's extremely talented instead of whatever journeyman QB Douglas brings in. It's another thing to act like he's a great guy because he's giving us leverage. He's a mercenary who's being brought in for a 1 year run to save the ass of Douglas and Saleh because the screwed the pouch on the QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 The time to act like New Yorkers has passed. If the Jets had acted like New Yorkers at the start of the process we would not be in this pickle. Also all this talk of 'oh it's fine for the deal to get done as long as it is just before camp, Aaron knows the play book he can just show up and we are good to go!' Is totally faulty thinking. One of the big reasons listed for Green Bays bad start to the season last year was Rodgers not being familiar with his new receivers. With the amount of money, time and resources invested him him he needs to be here for all off season workouts and if he skips voluntary workouts it will say a lot about his true commitment to winning. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SackExchangeNYJ Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I think what we are seeing now is that the Packers media momentum is slowing. They had momentum at first because they have media outlets. The Jets don't. The Packers are a national team, a stalwart of the football world. The Jets are nationally mocked at every turn. Meanwhile, the Packers' local media market is practically PR for the team, while the Jets get as little love in the New York market as they get across the nation. So the Packers had their media put out how much the scales were tipped toward them, while the Jets remained silent. The big difference is that once this pro-Packer line was out there long enough, it was no longer taken at face value and it became scrutinized. So the Jets, without any help from the media and without having said anything at all, have sat back and watched the storyline go from how much the Packers have the advantage to how much the Packers need to move him. No need for Jets spin. They have the facts on their side. Just say silent, and let the trade value come down to their terms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby816 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I do think sometime next week is ideal for a move to be official. And this is why. I think this story is just all over the media. Final 4, MLB season start the end of next week with NHL playoffs and NBA playoffs not far behind that. And that will start taking over the media. So if they want this to still be the focus... early next week is ideal before all that other stuff happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those years Brady was taking less and winning SBs we were coming up just short and he was getting PAID His latest deal 3 years for 150 is an atrocity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Jets had acted like New Yorkers at the start of the process we would not be in this pickle. Also all this talk of 'oh it's fine for the deal to get done as long as it is just before camp, Aaron knows the play book he can just show up and we are good to go!' Is totally faulty thinking. One of the big reasons listed for Green Bays bad start to the season last year was Rodgers not being familiar with his new receivers. With the amount of money, time and resources invested him him he needs to be here for all off season workouts and if he skips voluntary workouts it will say a lot about his true commitment to winning. The “acting like a New Yorker,” bit is cheese, I posted it as a daily reminder that the Jets hold the cards in this negotiation -as Florio clearly states- no matter how much the Packers want to pretend otherwise. I don’t agree about training camp as a deadline, and have been saying all along that I expect it to get done no later than during the draft. That’s a big line for the Packers. If they want to keep playing games, they get no 2023 draft pick. Simple as that. But this isn’t a pickle, lol, I doubt that there’s anything Douglas could do to get it done sooner other than to give them more, and I’m very happy that he’s holding firm. I’d like it done by OTAs but, as you imply, there’s no guarantee he’ll show up, anyway. There’s no rush to get it done outside of fan impatience, and **** that, who cares? All these articles and posts about what Joe Douglas should be doing are useless being that no one knows where they’re at. Everyone involved knows the implications of dragging it past the draft, or the opening of training camp, or the league’s opening day. I’m highly confident that it’s been discussed between the parties, and believe that it’s extremely likely that JD has already issued some terms with one of them being to tell the Packers to shut the **** up in the media about it, which they’ve done. Bottom line -just like yesterday, or the day before- it’s a done deal, it’s just a matter of when. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
