Aaron Rodgers traded to the New York Jets

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

WTF

what if dropping back costs them Skoronski or Paris Johnson?

why not wait to see who’s on the board?

the ‘24 pick is basically a guaranteed 1st rounder (unless Rodgers gets injured) with no future protection in case he retires

Really not overly concerned with a late 1st rounder next year.  For the first time in my life we have a top 5 fking QB!

If the jets get 3 yrs out of this, it’s great. 

2 max and I doubt it.  JD got hosed.

[Butterfield]

Terrible trade.  If Aaron Rodgers doesn’t play 3 or 4 years for the Jets, this will be a huge set back.  

[bicketybam]

So much for "Jets had all the leverage, GB will take what we give them", because that comp is alot.
1. We move down in the first in 2023 from 13 to 15
2. We lose a 2023 2nd Rounder
3. We lose a 2023 6th Rounder
4. We lose a 2024 1st Rounder (lets be honest, unless he gets hurt early in the year, he easily plays 65% in 2023)
1. We gain Aaron Rodgers.
2. We gain a 2023 5th
So much for the "no first rounders" narrative, and "it should be cheap, because leverage" narrative, this is a pretty huge price to pay for a likely 1-year rental @ $50 million+ in salary per season for the next several seasons, cap space wise.
We now have 1 pick in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th to work with, draft wise.
Man, we sure better hope all these risky moves pay off, or it's going to be one rough couple years from 2024 onwards. This reeks of desperation.  

So you're happy, right? Me too!

Shefter saying he’s coming for off season program 

 

THAT’S YOOG

[LockeJET]

So basically, we caved by making next year’s conditional pick a very easy to attain first rounder. But if we give them a first that means Rodgers pretty much stayed healthy.

maybe we can start 10-0 and then we bench Rodgers until the playoffs so he doesn’t play 65% of a plays.

We got taken to the cleaners in this one. We don’t win a SB this was a big fail

So if we win 13 games and lose in the super bowl you will be upset? Lol at this fanbase

[JetsfaninNorthHollywood]

Well, the wait is over. Should be an interesting season to say the least. Time to resume the arguments about who the first pick should be.

When have they been right about anything?

[Larz]

Shefter said 5-6 prime time games 

[More Cowbell]

So is 65% like 3 games? That could be the difference of making the playoffs or not

No one  will care if they win it all.  The jets are in a totally loaded AFC are not one good QB away from winning yet but that is the way they have operated here.  We shall see.

[Dcronin]

We were absolutely brutally fleeced, IMO. Horrible we had to give up so much. I'm in shock. He's a 40 year old corpse who is also a beligerent a-hole, but YES! I am legit happy to see some competence behind center. Happy to no longer watch Zach Wilson. Can we trade him?

LETS FUKINNNNNNNN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[rayzor]

i think this is a great deal.  Basically we gave up a bottom 3 round pick (in terms of the value difference between the 13th and 15th), our 2nd and a swap of our 6th for their 5th?  (14.8 difference in value).  Only possible criticism is we probably will give up next year's first if he plays but that was always expected.  But we have this years 15th and 2

That's pretty big honestly.  My biggest concern is him not being vested and ruining the positive vibes only.

I couldn't care less.

[Nixhead]

The Jets obviously gave in a little bit - but now the Jets have a pretty darn good QB! Works for me!

[ganggreen305]

We need a QB no matter what!!!!!

(We trade for a decent QB)

WTF are we doing!!!!  Lets keep our picks and play Zach!!!!  

Fools!!!

[Larz]

[Kalcott]

Well here we go.  It’s going to be one hell of a year!!

[OtherwiseHappyinLife]

A- if they have a 2 yr commitment from Rodgers and have significantly reduced the dead cap hit

B- if they have a 2 year commitment from Rodgers but don’t have meaningful cap relief

D if they do not have a 2 year commitment from Rodgers and any meaningful cap relief

———————————————————————-

Contract language and details should be next and give us key details on expected length and cap relief.

Don’t love that the condition to next year’s first is only 65% of the plays

But want to first see if GB ate any dead cap space and/or if Rodgers restructures before grading the trade.

Theory is basically "if he doesn't get injured we're in the playoffs, likely picking no earlier than 26" but I still don't like it

I got a feeling Woody was pressuring  JD.

Giving up a conditional 1st next year stings a bit not gonna lie 

The 32nd pick is not too much to give up, IMO.

[Untouchable]

We get to watch the Jets go all-in with Aaron Rodgers at the helm.

I was never going to care about the compensation as long as it wasn’t batsh*t insane.

Now we can put the guessing behind us, look forward to the draft in 3 days, and start smacking the piss out of teams come September.

Nice

Fair trade for both teams. Fans saying we overpaid forget to realize we just acquired AARON RODGERS!!!

For likely one year only, with this salary/cap effect:

[shuler82]

To be fair if this trade was announced back on Feb 27th JN would have a collective orgasm.  Think the longer this drug out the more confident we were it would favor our side
