Makes the offseason more interesting.  Either we land the big fish or we crash-and-burn.  Both are fascinating scenarios!

Imagine going into next season with Mike white and Zach ?

I don’t think we see a trade get finalized until tomorrow the earliest. I would imagine Rodgers will want some time. But I’m sure they will be on the page when they expect an answer, and that date will likely remain on or by March 12. That said, people with the Jets said last Friday that a decision was expected by the end of this week (a few days after speaking to him at length), so no need to panic if it doesn’t get done tonight. What we don’t know is whether Rodgers will want to visit, if there are more talks he’ll want to have, or if he will want to follow up with GB after they conclude their meetings tonight 

Agree plus why announce the same day as Daniel Jones.

Is this deal contingent on him being part of the off-season program?

Marino did this same thing with Minnesota. And ended up retiring. Reports are that Rodgers is taking his time. If that’s true that means he’s still contemplating retirement or staying.

No one gets the sense that other teams are deeply involved. If anything the only other team that sounds like they could potentially get involved is the Raiders depending which reports you believe. Most of the teams who need QBs just aren’t a fit for Rodgers; we are the rare option that’s pretty much “a QB away” while having one of his favorite coaches at coordinator, a GM/coach hellbent at adding a player of his caliber to the QB room, and an owner willing to pay the $

Maybe other teams get involved but the fact that we’re the first ones and it all came together so fast means something imo. 

[GreenFish]

Rodgers is about to be 40, not 90. These younger players are only 15 years younger. That’s not that big in the real world. Isn't Rodgers’ girlfriend in her 20’s?

[BallinPB]

I just don’t believe they fly everyone out there including Woody if this deal isn’t 95% done.  If there was still a bunch of things to iron out, you can do that on calls.  

They have to believe they can close this thing out tonight.

Pretty sure the packers are ready to move on with Love and just as sure that Rodgers isn't retiring. 

Only fear is another team swooping in to make a better pitch.

He’s deciding if he wants to finish his career losing on the jets.

damn that would probably be the biggest L ever for us as Jets fans.

This.  If Woody flew everyone out on the PJ across country for Aaron Rodgers at the end of the night to say “ehhh I’ll think about it and get back to you” is the biggest L. 
 

It’s not like they flew to Boston or Florida.  That’s a long ass flight.

A billionaire flying a few folks to CA to have a meeting is the equivilant of me hopping in my car to meet a friend for lunch 5 minutes down the road.

People acting like the Jets met him on top of mt everest.

Time is valuable to billionaires.  They don’t take 5 hour flights to come back with nothing.  It’s not the flight cost that matters.

Whether he signs March 7th or 10th doesn't matter to him. Before agreeing to play for the Jets I'm sure he wants to make sure he's on the same page as the coaching staff and front office. 

There was a disconnect at times between Rodgers and the packers front office when they drafted guys like Love instead of WRs etc..

We all want an answer now. Rodgers doesn't gain anything by rushing his decision.

My gut says they were already close talking today.  JD asks Rodgers if they all meet in person today and bring Woody is there a possibility they can get a deal in place and I’m pretty sure Rodgers answered yes or else why would they  quickly get on a 5 hour flight to California?

Devonte Wyatt thought Aaron Rodgers would say no. One is a rookie first-round pick, the other an 18th-year veteran and back-to-back NFL MVP.

When Wyatt saw Rodgers sitting alone at lunch inside Lambeau Field during training camp, his first thought was to find another table.

“He goes to the table I sit at, too, and one day I saw him at the table by himself and I was like, ‘I ain’t gonna sit with him,'” Wyatt said after practice Tuesday. “But the head coach was like, ‘Nah, go sit with him. Don’t be scared.’ So I was like, ‘Hey, Aaron, can I sit with you?’ He was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Sit down.’ So we just sat down, chopped it up.”

Rodgers had watched a Packers.com video in which rookies were asked who the funniest among them was. Wyatt was the most common choice. Rodgers joked with Wyatt that he hadn’t seen enough to validate that honor, and Wyatt started laughing (he said he’s since cracked Rodgers up a couple times).

“I thought it was gonna be like, ‘Nah, you can’t sit here,’ like one of those,” Wyatt said. “But he invited me there. He made me feel comfortable. We talked, we sat, we ate.”

Rodgers told reporters on Monday that he sometimes sits by himself at lunch on purpose to see who approaches. He was asked who has sat with him, and the one name he mentioned was Wyatt’s. Their first meal made Wyatt more comfortable sitting with him again. Now, if Wyatt sees Rodgers sitting alone, he sits with him. Not just to show off his sense of humor, but because he wants to learn something every day. Wyatt picks Rodgers’ brain about what he sees from defensive linemen and Rodgers asks questions of Wyatt in return about what he sees from offensive linemen. Wyatt also learned he has something in common with Rodgers, that they both attended junior college before playing Division I football.

That’s how the rookie and the veteran broke the ice, and what came next proved valuable for a 24-year-old frustrated with his first training camp.
