Then, any Draft picks will be conditional upon performance/ availability. Picks this year would solely be based on perceived value. That’s not going to fly on a 40 yo Qb making $50 mil with 1 foot already in retirement with a guaranteed $60 mil for the following season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscanyTile2 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 23 hours ago, TommyT said: Listening to Jake Asman, he feels the Jets have different draft day scenarios worked out with Green Bay. If a player they want is there at 13, no switch of 1st rounders and perhaps the same with day two as far as 42. This makes a lot of sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durant’s manager who is a Knicks fan was backchannel negotiating with the Knicks for 2 years and it was leaked all over the place. Then of course he backed out because he never had the intestinal fortitude to play for the Knicks so they had the bs cover story that his life goal was to leave Steph Curry and the warriors to play in an empty Barclays center 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in the nfl rule book, there must be something somewhere that lays out parameters of what it means to 'give permission to talk to. Asking a question is not wanting there to be tampering because your stance seems to be making as many assumptions as the ones talking about tampering.

Asking a question is not wanting there to be tampering because your stance seems to be making as many assumptions as the ones talking about tampering. My "stance" is the Jets were given permission to talk to Rodgers. You might remember it, our Owner took a f'ing jet plane with JD and Co. to see him. For that to happen, permission HAD to be given. Period, end stop. So no, there was no tampering, and people continuing to echo this stupid attack line are themselves being stupid, and I feel no reason to pull punches on this. That's not "just asking questions", that's being silly because some sh*tty NY media guy wants to get more site hits/views for his 'controversial' tweets and takes, takes that are almost always negative/anti-Jets. If that's your thing, fine, but expect pushback in cases like this. This is worse than the endless "collusion" takes in re: The Ravens and Lamar. 6 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trotter Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 About as perfect a post as you are going to get. cimini wants this to fall apart and the jets getting a penalty on top of it is icing for him. nit going to happen but he wants to keep the jets org sucks etc narrative going - it is better for his business.

I believe this year marks the 4th time the Knicks have made the playoffs since the Jets last made the playoffs. While that is certainly easier to accomplish in the NBA, I think that speaks for itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing we do know....cimini is more connected then you,.. What value does he bring? He is a beat reporter for the team so he has a responsibility to bring a non biased viewpoint. You going to tell me that is what he does when 9 out of 10 interviews/tweets always have a negative spin? Sure the Jets have earned that negativity over the years but there are plenty of times when they actually do something poistive yet Cimini will always add that negative point of view. Let's play it out and see just how far off I am. If the Jets sign Rodgers, he will bring up as a negative that they gave up draft capital and signed players because Rodgers wanted them (even thought that is most likely not true) He will not stress that it puts the Jets in a position to be a legit playoff contender and be competitive throughout a playoff run. If they do not sign him he will say the Jets got played, Douglass failed and they hired an OC who they really did not want but only gave him the job to get rodgers. Guy is garbage - apologies if that offends anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to do this you wouldn't want other teams to know in advance. Point being - it's smoke screen season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the tampering gives them less ammo than the pressure Joe D put on himself to get the deal done, but even that's miniscule. Green Bay is going to have to come to terms with the fact that they screwed up and gave Rodgers an insane contract that forces them to make a deal or risk paying him $60 million to walk away or $100 million to be a pain in the ass this season and then walk away after the SB. On top of that, the deal doesn't give him a no-trade clause, but the way the financials are set up, he essentially has a no-trade clause.

Agree on all counts but this is where the jets botched it up bad. This should have been done ages ago at a bargain basemen price. As time went on the jets handed the packers some leverage by showing all of their plan B thoughts were bunk and both them and rodgers openly stating he was going to be the jets QB, before any deal had been agreed on.

Eh. The only plan B that could have been a threat at all was Derek Carr and he signed before Rodgers decided what he was going to do. It was also leaked that Woody told the FO not to offer Carr anything because he was all in on Rodgers. That gave the Packers all they needed to keep holding out for more. They're playing the long game to see if Woody will get impatient and tell Joe D. to just "give them what they want". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
