----- The addition of wide receiver Randall Cobb sparked some mocking criticism of the Jets, with folks saying it's just another Rodgers-orchestrated move. Maybe so, but there's no denying Cobb and Rodgers had a good thing in Green Bay.

Over the last two seasons, Rodgers posted a 90.7 QBR when targeting Cobb, his second-highest QBR targeting a single player over that span behind only Davante Adams (90.8), according to ESPN Stats & Information research. Since entering the league in 2011, Cobb has posted more catches, yards and touchdowns from the slot than any player.

If Cobb makes Rodgers feel more comfortable in his transition to New York, what's wrong with that?

Before the Packers traded quarterback Aaron Rodgers, he agreed to move his fully-guaranteed $58.3 million option bonus to 2024, as a final cap favor to his former team. Now that he’s at the minimum salary of $1.165 million for 2023 with $107.55 million fully guaranteed on the books for 2024, Rodgers and the Jets need to work out a new deal.Jets G.M. Joe Douglas said last week during an appearance on #PFTPM that the two sides are currently working on it. The manner in which the money is split between the next two years could shed considerable light on whether he plans to stay with the team for one season or two.

But there’s another wrinkle to consider, one that might not make his agents particularly happy. Rodgers could decide to cut the Jets a break, reducing the total dollars due and owing over the next two years, in lieu of simply moving money around.It would be his call, even if his agents oppose it. And it would go a long way toward getting him even deeper in the good graces of Gang Green, who will love him unconditionally unless and until adversity arrives and he fails to overcome it in more than two or three straight games.

Yep.  Week 1, Rodgers Breaks the NFL record for TDs in a game, with 8.  Ties his own record in Week 2.  Then breaks it again with 9 in Week 3.

500.

Naw, he throws for 10 in week 1, 14 in week 2, and 1 in week 3 before tearing his MCL.

---  1. Different kind of QB: Twenty years ago, Robert Saleh was a graduate assistant at Michigan State when he heard a nugget of coaching philosophy that has stuck with him. It actually came from the school's basketball coach, Tom Izzo, who said, "The best-coached teams are the teams that coach themselves."

Saleh believes the 2023 Jets can be one of those teams, in large part, because of one player: quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He describes Rodgers as a proven winner (147-75-1 career record) who can "champion [the] message" from the coaching staff and "control the standard" in the locker room, something that takes a rare kind of player."To have a guy like him who embodies all of that, who embodies what you want out of a football player, and who has the track record and who has had success and who has a voice like he has, it makes our job easier because we’re not having to worry about things that we don’t have control over," Saleh said.

"Easier" is a relative term. Because of the Rodgers-fueled expectations, the pressure to win will be much greater than before. Of the nine AFC teams that failed to make the postseason in 2022, the Jets are the only one with a better than 50% chance of making it this season, according to ESPN's Football Power Index. Saleh himself said they're one of six to eight teams with a realistic shot at the Super Bowl.

That kind of hype could make a coach's job harder. On a day-to-day basis, though, it's easy to see why Saleh feels the way he does about the Rodgers effect. For a change, he doesn't have to coach up the quarterback on the ABCs of the position and the NFL. He has a quarterback who can coach them. This is unfamiliar territory for Saleh, who has been surrounded by inexperienced starters for his entire coaching career.

In four previous coaching stops as an assistant, Saleh never belonged to a team that went into a season with a quarterback who had more than 40 career starts. His most experienced quarterback was the Houston Texans' Matt Schaub, who began the 2010 season with 40 starts. After that, Saleh was with the Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars for the rookie years of Russell Wilson (2012) and Blake Bortles (2014), respectively. From there, it was on to the San Francisco 49ers, who in 2017 traded for an older, but still unproven Jimmy Garoppolo.

As a head coach, Saleh endured two years of growing pains with quarterback Zach Wilson, the 2021 No. 2 overall pick, before deciding it was time for a change. Rodgers has more career starts (223) than the combined total of Saleh's previous quarterbacks. He also has a seasoned offensive coordinator in Nathaniel Hackett, significantly more experienced than predecessor Mike LaFleur.

This doesn't mean Saleh can hit the auto-pilot switch. His job is to galvanize the entire operation and ... well, win.

2. Odd couple: Rodgers has recorded at least 30 touchdown passes in eight of his 15 seasons as a starter. As a franchise, the Jets have done it only once in 63 years. (Ryan Fitzpatrick had 31 in 2015.) That is just wild.

Despite his obvious, lingering grievances with the Packers, Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers did his former team a solid on the way out the door, agreeing to push the entirety of his $58.3 million fully-guaranteed option bonus to 2024.

That was news to the Jets, who have to figure out with Rodgers how much of the $58.3 million will return to 2023, and how it will be structured for cap purposes.Nearly a month ago, Jets G.M. Joe Douglas told #PFTPM that the two sides were working on the revised deal. It still hasn’t happened.Via Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, the Jets have cleared $45.2 million in salary-cap space this offseason, leaving them with $24.5 million to spend.As originally negotiated, the $58.3 million was scheduled to be converted to a guaranteed payment, dropping the cap charge to $14.575 million this year.

With a total of $107.55 million over the next two years due and payable to Rodgers, the final structure of the contract could shed considerable light on whether he’s all in for the next two years.Maybe he’s simply evaluating his options. Maybe, at some level, he enjoys the extra little bit of power implicit in this unresolved issue — especially since there have been suggestions that, as part of the new contract, he might take less than he’s due to make.The Jets were ready to take the contract as it was. They now hold a contract that has Rodgers on the books for only the minimum salary in 2023.

Ultimately, Rodgers will get whatever Rodgers wants, within reason. He won’t want more money than he was due to make. The possibility that he might want less is a great way to ensure that the honeymoon period, from the team’s perspective, lasts through the offseason program, and maybe into training camp.The possibility that the final deal will make it clear that he’s willing to play for the Jets in 2024 could require a little ayahuasca and/or a lot of no light in the six weeks between OTAs and training camp.Ultimately, the revised deal could get Rodgers a few concessions, if he’s willing to take a little less than $107.55 million over the next two years. For example, no more medicine balls or sled pulling during pre-practice conditioning — something Rodgers had never done in 18 years in Green Bay and that tweaked his calf when he did it last month.

Or whatever else he might want, based on his initial weeks in the building. He’s in position to do the team a huge favor. What’s wrong with subtly asking for a favor or two in return?

Another thing, when I saw the pick 6 stat (which is incredible, IMHO.)

Realize - here is also a guy who is used to playing in weather that is even worse than what NY/NJ in the fall and winter usually offer. He's gonna think he's playing in Carolina by comparison.

Rodgers is an LA/Malibu guy back in his element. Now he has a [new] cosmopolitan city to be seen in and do things. In addition to resenting the entire Green Bay front office, he probably got sick of living half the year in the US equivalent of the North Pole for 18 years.
