So where it is, Green Bay is stuck on an asking price of a two [second-round draft pick] this year, a straight-shot one [first-round pick] next year, so no graduation schedule attached to it,

two 2nds this year AND a 1st next year?

what are they talking about?

for a 1y rental of 40 year old QB?

I do not buy this. I think this was an attempt to bash Woody and it backfired. The idea was that leaking that Woody was holding it up would have everyone pile on Woody because everyone thinks everything he does is wrong.

Here's why I don't think it's him. It was a football decision, and a relatively smart one. If Woody is as incompetent as people say, does anyone think it was HIS idea to pursue an insurance policy in case Rodgers left after one season? That is much more likely something Douglas would want. 

Worst part is, this was meant to smear Woody, but in reality, it's a smart move. The whole point of whomever leaked this completely backfired.

That paragraph is confusing. To summarize, GB is asking for a 2nd this year and 1st next year with no conditions. In return, the Jets would get Rodgers and a 2025 pick conditioned on Rodgers playing in 2024.

The story I heard on this was that the jets agreed to a 2 and a 1st next year early on but when Woody heard Rodgers say he was 90% retired on the macafee show he got spooked and said forget it we are no giving up a 1.

Id love to believe this but if its true, then woody is smarter then joe douglas.

Good for Woody and Joe for holding firm.  With each day that passes my willingness to move on from the Rodgers trade idea increases.  

I'm with you pal. So completely over this whole thing already. So we'll stink in 2023 and have pick 1, 2, or 3 next April for a QB. Law of averages says we are due to hit on one. I'll take my chances. It is also possible we make the playoffs with a journeyman QB due to the talent on this team anyway and sign or trade for a QB next off season.

I believe it’s only one second round pick. I think woody is concerned about Rodgers only playing for a single season and doesn’t want to give up next years first rounder if that’s the case. I guess they can scale it back to a much later pick or no pick if Rodgers bows out after one season.the big issue is that this seasons second round pick is useless if the deal isn’t done before the draft. If it’s after the draft then maybe the deal will be for next years first round pick.

The inevitable kick in the balls is coming.......after an entire offseason of Jet fans getting their hopes up, the rug will be pulled out once again on this franchise and fanbase......This will go down as one of the worst offseasons of all time. Cant wait for the QB battle of Tim Boyle vs Zach wilson

Just wait until Jets #2 picks are on the clock and lets see what GB does. Are they really gong to pay AR the money due. AR knows the offense. Hold firm on the #1 2023 pick. If they insist on a unconditional #1 pick in 2024 then that is the only pick they get and nothing more.
