Good... Nothing until after June 1st will be preferable.

Best option…. 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.

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.

Does it?  Just where are the rules regarding getting permission to talk to a player and all that entails? 

In the NFL Rulebook?

I'm amazed at all this, I really do think some of you WANT this to be tampering for some odd reason.....idgi.

Durant never Said he want to come the Knicks, in fact after he signed with the nets his reps said he never considered playing for Dolan 

Of course they said that.  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

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.

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 really wish there was a way woody to have him removed as a beat writer.

I don’t want homer's but he is simply a jackass

No superstar wants to play for the Knicks, it's an organization just as bad as the jets with an even worse owner .

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.

No, Cimini has been a troll for 30 years. He had zero connections inside the building and had broken no stories since JD became GM.  

Troll or a reporter who asks questions you dont like?

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.

Posted this in another thread but thought this would be a good place for it as well.

A rare glimpse of sanity from the GB side of things.

Not gonna' sweat it.  Joe D. is gonna' wait them out until they drop the asking price.

There was 100% tampering but there's no reason to worry because the Jets are the only buyer.  GB has no reason to push the issue and could only hurt themselves by doing so.

Problem is, a lot of people who don't know what tampering is think they know what tampering is.

Just more ammo for the packers in negotiations though as if the jets had not already given them a life line.

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.

Dopes.

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".

Including yourself evidently. There are a ton of mitigating factors here.  Tampering in an abstract way possibly.

what exactly are you calling tampering here?  the jets were granted permission to talk to rodgers by the packers.
