ESPN's Adam Schefter reports "it doesn't sound like" Aaron Rodgers will be traded to the Jets before the NFL Draft. 

Before the draft does not include during the draft.  They could easily pull the trigger when the jets are on the clock in the 2nd round.

The premise is the offensive roster beyond GW is below average or unknown (AVT and Hall nothing coming off season ending injuries) 

If you were giving away the capital you're giving away for a 40 year old Rodgers having a below average roster is idiotic.  Rodgers should't be the play then.  If they wanted to keep the roster average - then Rodgers wasn't the way to go.

That is the premise, it really isn't complicate.  

They had better have a good ******* idea what they can expect from Hall and AVT at this point.   That offensive roster was good enough to be pretty good with a sh*t QB last year.  What did they lose?  Fant and McGovern?  Oh my!  They both kinda sucked and are on the street.  Moore and Berrios?  Ha.  A combined 11' of WR!  They already improved on them.  I agree they should get better and IMO there is still PLENTY of time to do so.

The most striking thing to me in all of this is how poorly run the Packers are. If they let the draft come and go and still haven't pulled the trigger on what JD has offered, they're toast. On the flip side, nice to see again that the GM of the NYJ is the one with the upper hand.

the thing is outside of davante adams (and to be clear, i am not putting GW in his category at this juncture), the packers' receiving talent in 2020-21 when rodgers won back-to-back MVPs is pretty mediocre.  they did have a good running game, although i think hall can be better than aaron jones, but of course we won't know how he's recovered until he gets back on the field.

rodgers has often put up stellar numbers with less-than-stellar supporting cast.  i'm not saying this is an approach i would advocate.  but i don't think the jets' surrounding talent is that much weaker than what he had in GB

Ok

They’re still not giving up both 2nds

what this all really boils down to is that the Packers GM and HC just got extended in 2022 summer and don't NEED to win now

there's no woody to fire these guys on a whim. They are rebuilding and everyone knows it 

meanwhile JD is on year 5 of 6 of his contract and NEEDS to win now

there is a scenario where the Packers pay Rodgers to sit the bench. He's a living legend to them and they are rebuilding

it's not nearly as bad a scenario for them as JD going into the season with just Zach

It’s extremely confusing and disappointing that we couldn’t have added a ton of leverage to this situation AND given the team a capable backup by simply Paul g Gardner Minshew $3 million on a 1 year deal.  
 

Absolutely mind boggling

It’s because our GM is more Bizarro then Superman. Try telling most fans that though

There's no scenario where Rodgers sits on the bench or ever wears a Packers uniform again, no matter how many times you say it.

Good. We keep our draft picks for this draft. We can deal for Aaron later.

If they know they’re rebuilding…Why would they not trade him and get assets to, ya know, rebuild?

Pretty sure the Packers are thinking…we have a QB with Love. You guys do not. So give us what we want. No? Ok, cool, enjoy Zach Wilson again!

While not making a deal at all is stupid for both teams, Jets are def the more desperate ones.

Because as the last 4 years have proven, rebuilding means accepting the losses 

What's an extra 2nd really mean? 1 extra win? 6-11 instead of 5-12? who cares?

Green Bay knows Woody will eventually tell JD to get the deal done. 

This game of chicken is just posturing. The Jets will give up more than this board thinks is justified.

Do you actually think before typing idiotic nonsense like this?

You think it's better to pay a guy 60M, HAVE TO CARRY HIM on the 53 man roster which takes away a spot from someone that can help immediately, and suffer the future cap ramifications which will limit your ability to rebuild in next couple years? Not to mention it would tear the locker room apart constantly having AR in the background and half the team wanting him to play.

This is better than sucking with Zach? I'll take suck with Zach, keep all our draft picks, get high pick next year and draft another qb, and no cap crushing hits over the above. Thanks.

lol

you are probably 0-2 here

paying someone $60 million to sit on the bench while jordan love tries to prove his nfl bona fides with a hall of famer sitting there is an untenable position to be in, recent contract extension notwithstanding.  just because there isn't a single owner doesn't mean whoever is in charge of running the packers will think this is a good solution over trading rodgers for literally anything and removing his contract.

as to the jets, i find it unfathomable that under any scenario, they enter the season with "just zach."  if for whatever reason the rodgers deal implodes, the jets will find someone else.  

so yeah, your scenarios are illogical and asinine

how do we force someone to sign here?

minshew went to indy to reunite with his former OC in philly and he will get a chance to start.  or at a minimum compete for the starting job with whatever rookie indy assumedly drafts.

do you think the packers are indifferent between paying rodgers $60 million to sit on the bench or paying him nothing? 

boy are you not the sharpest tool in the shed...

Most top GM's pay their backup QB's 60 million. Makes sense.

Honestly this is the dumbest offseason / offseason storyline of all-time.

If no deals are struck before the second round ends, it might be time to panic?
