The Jets clearly preferred Rodgers and let Carr walk to the Saints without giving him an offer. Once that move was made, Rodgers was clearly the best veteran option available (and many felt Rodgers was the best option available, even including Carr). I joked about this recently, but everyone seems to agree that Zach Wilson needs to be replaced by a veteran, but nobody seems to actually want to replace him with anyone specific. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He goes on there and once every week or 2 and says how he’s just still waiting for the deal to get done. And says if it doesn’t he’ll be at voluntary camp in 2 weeks. That puts pressure on GB. Doesn’t hurt the Jets at all. And actually makes him look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidH001 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 If Green Bay is really auditioning Jordan Love as their QB of the future, they cant wait for 2024 draft picks to support him. The Packers don't have enough offensive talent or 2023 draft stock to give him a chance amd they know it. Green Bay's WR's have only 87 career catches combined!!

Obviously I have no idea what’s transpired so far in these trade talks, but I can’t help but wonder why JD let this go on for as long as it has. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but i don’t see where his leverage is now that the other QBs are off the board. People are going to say “what about the Packers?” My answer is, nothing has changed for them. They’re in exactly the same spot they were when they supposedly decided to move on at the end of last season. Their hand has remained the same, but ours has gotten considerably weaker imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been pointed out ad nauseam by now, the Packers have the same hand, but time is their enemy. The Jets can wait them out. Why? Because, eventually, the Packers have to pay Aaron Rodgers.

Beerfish Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 The Packers already have 10 draft picks for this upcoming draft. The deal will probably get done before the draft as they want draft capital for this year but it is not as if they have no picks this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidH001 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Seven of them are Day 3 picks. Article makes a good point that they need Impact players now and their depth chart is Horrid. As Jets fans, we all know what happens when you put a QB on the field with a garbage supporting cast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they tried doing this, Rodgers would state that he’s retiring and the Packers would have to find another $9 mil in cap space this year to accommodate the $40+ mil cap hit for this year. They could beg Rodgers to restructure or retire post-6/1, but Rodgers would tell them to EAD. They could also try calling Rodgers’ bluff, but that’s cutting your nose off territory. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All true, their cap would be shot if he retires , but they’d at least save his $58 mil in salary this year and another $50 mil next year, no? They’d most likely be in rebuild mode anyway, but if they had to they could just go New Orleans style and work around the cap hits if need be.
