Hope Rodgers gave them assurance he's playing 2 years.  Either way thank God it's done..  Not so much because we got Rodgers but so that other thread can die. 

Rodgers had to give them the assurance. No way Joe D allows that 2024 conditional without Rodgers being on board for at least 2 years.

it makes sense.....no way rodgers plan is to only play 1 year. he played the retirement bullsh*t with the packers because they are idiots

I honestly don't see him playing two years.

But I also don't see this year going nearly as good as most of you do.  Sure, if they make a legitimate Super Bowl run and Rodgers somehow beats Father Time - sure.

But, unless the Jets do something to upgrade the offense - this team isn't going very far and Rodgers is going to get killed by this toxic fan base.

What does our win / loss predictions look like now. 12 or 13 wins?

If waiting on this trade means not having to pay OBJ $18M in 2023 then it was totally worth it. 

Or OBJ signed with us for 7mill before BAL even made him that offer. ?

LOL at saying this is a fair trade. You either have to say the Jets got robbed or the Packers got robbed. No one wants boring, reasonable takes.

For those who are wondering why the price seems a bit steep, here's your answer.

Maybe Woodward should sign up to JN if he wants to know how Jets fans feel

Dude, he never even came to the building.  Baltimore made him the offer to keep him from coming here.

Lets see what the new contract is first.

Zach making Aaron Rodgers life miserable

Same deal that everyone knew it was going to be two months ago.

Jets-hating Jets fan take? "Jets got fleeced!"

Don't judge it till you see what packers reworked contract is... GB is going to win the PR battle till the numbers come out

I’ll have to see the contract 1st. But as of now there’s no reworked contract 

[KRL]

My prediction is Douglas will trade down at least once in the first two rounds

maybe twice to re-coup picks

JD got bent over and ass ****ed

this trade cancels out all the other good ones and then some

It’s a gamble worth taking. When was the last time we were barely competitive? Not sure how long you’ve been a fan but it’s been a long long long time. And I’m sure JD is thinking that #1 they will have to give up will be a late late late #1.

JD is definitely moving down. To recoup at least a 2 this year and possibly a 3. In Joe We Trust

He was never “face”.  It’s always been a schtick, just like SAR.  He was banned for a hot minute for spamming posts just like that one way back when, and decided to came back a bursting ray of positive sunshine, out of nowhere, probably to avoid another ban.

I was promised a superbowl in 2023.

Should have been banned for that alone.

No.... Packers are reworking the contract before the trade... See the 1.55 mark of the NFL Network tweet above.

Right,  I think the jets won’t comment officially until Wednesday after everything is filed with the NFL and I think once everything is out there it will look “fair “

What does Mike White have to do with this trade or anything 2023 Jets related??? The dude could barely find a job as a backup in the NFL this offseason. 

[Green Truth]

Corey Davis was not included in the deal, so at this point he is staying, but who knows. So it definitely looks like a trade down at this point.

Glenn has been arguing and getting into it with Jets fans over Twitter because he wanted to sign Carr instead of trading for Rodgers, so this article was to be expected.

That being said, this is a pretty bad trade if Aaron only plays one year, and the Jets don’t get a Super Bowl out of it.  The conditions should have been performance based, or award based (i.e. MVP).  Douglas, essentially, threw away next years 1st round pick, with a large amount of leverage in his favor, because of…reasons?  I don’t know.

Doesn’t Rodgers have like 100M on contract for the next 2 years? He ain’t walking away from that.

Thats how I feel... they can't say anything until the reworked contract is accepted and approved for 24 hours... What if Packers took on basically all of it... who knows...

Read my initial post. I was saying why did we wait 6 weeks to still lose the trade pick wise? Make the trade days after McAfee and you have 6 weeks to build the roster 100% knowing Rodgers is a Jet. OBJ sighed 2 weeks ago. That would’ve given us 4 weeks to get guys in win now mode like OBJ. Where BAL would’ve never had the Vance to offer that contract.

And I do 100% think his deal is reworked. But if it’s not GB eating money. That trade compensation is still a loss.

Have to think this is true. Getting taken in this trade doesn’t seem like JD. Has Woody all over it. Made us now SB or bust. Which is quite a standard now

i think GB gave us an ultimatum that this had to get done before the draft or they were keeping him.

3 draft picks this year and only one next year. they wanted this years picks. its no coincidence this got done now instead of sooner.

JD would have never backed himself in this corner. he would have took a QB early like Carr or Jimmy G instead of letting all his options disappear. this is all Woody

Really wish that conditional was based on him playing 2 years vs 65% of this year but pretty exciting nonetheless. 

I have a feeling the Jets know Rodgers retirement window.

The last couple years has been a leverage game between Rodgers & the Packers.  The situation with the Jets is completely different..

People are taking his 90% retired comment as the gospel rather than PR.

As Tom said... thats why the trade had to get done today... because you cannot trade a player for 24 hours after the league accepts the contract... so after Packers file it and the league accepts it 24 hours later then they can trade him... It won't be official till at least Wednesday.

I can see it. Trade down a few picks and take either van ness or Harrison. Pick up a 3rd rounder 

[Sperm Edwards]

JFC 

Jets football will be watchable & fun for two years.

(Possibly just 1, also possibly 3; right now figure 2). 

Of course I'd have preferred they gave up less. There isn't a fan who wouldn't prefer that. 

Not getting worked up over a 1st rounder next year that'll likely be in the 20s - probably at least mid-20s, possibly the 30s - where we can then could've taken a prospect... over whom we could then go on about how much we hope he'll improve by 2025 or 2026 like fans are already doing with JJII for '23 & 24.

FFS the Chiefs traded a current-year's late 1st to rent Orlando Brown for 2 years (on back to back franchise tags). They did that when they were already armed with Pat ****ing Mahomes. The Jets have Zach ****ing Wilson - and Boyle, who's far worse - and more or less gave up that + a WR plenty boasted the Jets should've outright cut not so long ago + a 3rd rounder. Oh yeah, plus the 1st is next year not this year and it isn't close to the same thing. 

It's an exciting day.

would you have been happy if they signed jimmy g instead, because this was the likely outcome of the deadline you wanted to impose

No Carr was my first choice and I'd be happier if that had occurred but still not happy until we actual play games and with those games.

How do you feel about the trade compensation?  Jets got him cheap even though the packers had ZERO leverage??
