My prediction: 

1. Jets do not get Rodgers.

2. Jets sign/trade for a 3rd tier guy:  Trubisky.  Jimmy G.  Mayfield.  Misnhew.  Heinicke.  White.

3. Zach Wilson starts at least half our games in 2023.

Must I pray to satan to prevent this from happening.... Jimmy "glassman" G , maybe but the rest of the list would make this board go.....

[JetsFanatic]

Rodgers was their first choice all along. Other than giving the usual whiners on this board a reason to claim the sky is falling, nothing huge happened today that impacts the Jets plans.

Carr going elsewhere definitely impacts the Jets leverage in trade negotiations. Whether Rodgers was their first choice or not is irrelevant.

Don’t see Rodgers leaving GB, if he does I don’t see him wanting to play for the Jets, and if both of those things do happen, I predict it ends in disaster. 

If the Jets are involved, my default always is it will end in disaster.

The only one of them that was a legit star and future hall of famer was Favre.  The other guys were mostly has beens or never were's 

Rodgers is on a different level even than Favre.  I have real concerns with Rodgers age, but if he's not really in decline you are getting a top 5 QB in the NFL.

Yep. That’s my point too. Those other guys like boomer and O’Donnell were pretty pricey for the time and really didn’t do much with the jets. Vinnie and fitzy were pretty much pulled off the scrap heap to be backups.  Same thing with mccown. In Rodgers, like Favre, they’d be getting a qb who has been to the show and has been a huge part of his teams success.

[Dunnie]

So no trade can be announced for a week ... is that right ?

What do you think it would cost for Love ? Hard to judge. I’d say 2nd and 3rd rounder. Throw in a 7th or zach Wilson ha.

Not exactly. We are only team showing ANY interest in Aaron rodgers. His own team doesn’t really want him lol. I would hope JD doesn’t try to outbid himself.

If the #13th pick is traded to the Packers = Overpay

What if it’s swapped for the packers pick? There are lots of way to throw these picks around so the jets still get some good prospects this season. Plus, they pretty much have enough skill position talent. They need the beef so picking at 13 vice 15 doesn’t move the needle much.

No matter how the Rodgers saga ends, there will be a small number of posters who will whine incessantly about the outcome.

I think the Jets get desperate and trade for him. He goes 4-7 or something and misses the rest of the season with injury and retires.

Green Bay gets out of that ugly contract, and gets some draft collateral from the Jets. And they actually improve upon their record from last season

This is the exact scenario I envision.

Lost his leverage with Carr gone will have to overpay (for one year of Rodgers) and likely this time next year will be looking for a QB again.

 

All about giving BYU one more opportunity to shart all over the field.

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Rodgers retired and Brady returned

Jets are getting Rodgers people. Everyone just relax.

But I thought I read GB would owe AR more $$ if he was traded now, as opposed to after June 1, If that's the case the Jets are entering risky waters.

I'm pretty sure the trade will be public the moment it happens.  When it become official I honestly don't know how that works, but rest assured as soon as it's done - we'll know.

[TuscanyTile2]

I think JD ends up acquiring the QB who is a cross between Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes.

No, they don't owe him any more total money - it's just how the contract it broken out.  Same total amount so it's just about moving money around.  That June 1 date is not affecting this in any way.

You can announce a trade whenever, using the "X and Y have agreed to terms" language. 

It just isn't official till whatever league date rules allows for it.

[hawk]

The way I look at it, The Jets are doing more of a favor to the Green Bay Packers than the Jets getting one of the best QB's to play the game, especially for the New York Jets.  

The Packers do not want him any longer, I think most can agree with that, and they certainly do not want to be on the hook for an additional $58 Million for him.  IMO. 

No one is turning down Aaron Rodgers the Player, but it is the other bullsh*t that gives genuine pause.  

That said, taking on a $58 Million Dollar Option, and an additional $40 million the 5th day of 2024, makes Rodgers a one year rental.  (under the current contract)  He will cost relatively nothing on the cap this year ($16 Million), so I would expect it to be restructred.  However, it is still $98 Million on just 2 options.  

What is a fair deal?  Certainly not top 3 rounds, and I think a deal (assuming the contract is restructured for retirement clauses) is swapping picks.  Packers favor our (lets say, but could be any round) second for their second.  Jets Favor, There second for our 3rd. 

Honestly, I do not know what the breach of contract is with an option if he retires, and it may be a moot point for all I know.  I am considering it as a signing bonus that counts against the cap if he retires, leaving $44 Million (Just on the $58 Million Option)  dead money in 2024.

I hope not because if this drags out "unofficially" till June the  Jets are screwed.  And we'll all collectively lose our minds.

Fair deal is 3rd this year, conditional next year.

They can agree in principle. Alex Smith had a similar trade when he was sent to Washington.
