Aaron Rodgers traded to the New York Jets

[Paradis]

This is the worst i've ever seen us get fleeced... by a team with no leverage and albatross contract.

Like what the flying fck man. 

I'm going to finally unwrap my Ruckert Jersey i was too worried to Jinx now, because who gaf. Smh. 

[choon328]

You guys are gross. We've been talking about this exact trade package for 2 months and now you're all upset lol.

Jets fans the type to bink the Powerball but complain about having to pay the taxes. They were a playoff caliber team with Flacc, Zach, and White. Let me repeat that. FLACC ZACH AND MIKE WHITE!

They are going to compete next year with the AFC. No doubt in my mind. And if that's the case next years first is at the bottom. No where near to draft the next franchise QB which some of you dolts seem to be crying about. 

In the word of one of my favorite posters on the board, "Thank you Joe Douglas! Thank you!"

[nycdan]

The conditions for the 2024 pick are a little easier than I'd expected.  Gotta say that.

But looking at it this way:

What are the chances of deep playoff success in the next 2 years with this trade vs. without this trade (and the extra 2nd round pick this year and 1st round pick next year)?  I like the chances better this way.  And if this somehow manages to turn Zach back around into a legitimate starting QB 2 years from now?  That would make it a home run.

WE did not get a 2nd for Elijah Moore, we got a 2nd and gave up a 3rd, in essence we moved up a round in the draft.

The value we got back is an early 3rd, I believe. 

Hard to argue Moore was worth appreciably more (pun intended) than that given his meager production as an NFL WR so far.

He’s going to be talked about being neck-and-neck with Justin Jefferson by the end of the year.

Then he will ask for a trade a year later, when Rodgers retires and the Jets go back to Wilson.

I overreacted because I thought we gave up a first, too. We swapped firsts. Still, he looked like the walking dead, and had the absolute worst year of his career. No team like ours is ever one player away from Super Bowl. No way. I want to believe you so, so much. Now, maybe we were 4 or 5 players away? That I'd buy. Maybe it'll be Aaron Rodgers, Breece Hall, Lazard, new OT or improved Becton, and a LB TBD.

He had bad body language last year because guttenkurst was a moron and left him with rookie wrs and a banged up oline 

He hates lafleur and I don't blame him 

Brady was the same his last year in new England

I would like to congratulate Aaron, but he asked me to lose his number.

I'm ambivalent, same as I was when this was first rumored.

It's a one-year desperation play: 

1. Try and win enough in 2023 to save everyones jobs

2. Gain one year to either fix Zach (lol) or find another QB.....without our #1 in 2024 (lol, lol).

3. Pay the piper (cap wise) in 2024-2026 post-Rodgers, unless in a miracle he plays 2 years.

If we win a Super Bowl, it was more then worth it.

If we don't, it likely wasn't.

But at least 2023 will be more fun to watch than any year since 2015. 

Or it should be, if the 40 year old QB stays healthy.

This is really the money quote.  JD is rolling the dice (again) that Zach is fixable.  Otherwise he is drafting another QB again in 2025 (not 2024)  likely without the cover of a 42-year old Rodgers leading the team...

It is batsh*t insane.  Way too much for a guy with only a couple seasons left at most.  

Outside of maybe 5-6 seasons in my nearly 50 years of following this team, I’ve seen nothing but bottom of the barrel dogsh*t at QB for the Jets.

Now I get to watch a guy who is arguably one of the Top 5 QB’s of all-time for a year or two while the Jets simultaneously make a hard run at a Superbowl.

No, it wasn’t batsh*t insane.

It was the right thing to do with a young talented roster that is a QB away and it was the right thing to do for a fanbase that has been incessantly tortured since the moon landing.

[Integrity28]

Trade is good except for the conditions tied to next year. We’re unprotected if he retires at end of season, we’re unprotected if we fail to make the post season…happy we have a shot inn2023, but overall it’s a bad look.

We got our guy and are a SB contender something we’ve really haven’t been able to say in a very long time. So I’m with it.

 

We just big time overpaid to be here. JD lost this trade. So the BS that he wins all his trades just went out the window. The biggest trade in recent history we just lost. 
 

And the only way for this to not be a fail is a SB.

JD has done very well on almost every trade he has made. if we "big time lost" this trade will be determined but this isn't any reason to lose your mind on JD's ability to get more value for players than he should in the other 90% of his trades.

Recoup what loss? We had 2 second round picks back to back we gave one up for Elisha Moore, so theoretically it’s 2nd and a 1st which we all thought that’s what it would take , no suprised here 

Under no circumstance should the packers even have a chance at landing a first round pick. I’m shocked it was on the table.  The pay for this years draft isn’t a big deal, I expected it. The conditional 2nd that becomes a first is where I have a problem. That should have been a conditional 4 that could become a 2. We aren’t getting Rodgers for the next 5 years, we might not even get him for 2 years. Giving up a first for a player that might not even be on the roster next year is risky.

I'd imagine that too.  I'd imagine that we wouldn't trust this flake as far as we can throw him.

I like the new Rodgers. He reminds me of Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino. Doesn’t give a **** and says what he wants 

[carlito1171]

Imagine b!tching about moving down two spots in the 1st round to acquire a future HOF QB ?????????

[Bobby816]

We also have a Ron of work to do if we’re a win now team and in possibly only in a 1 year window with no protection.

 

Better have some bigger moves coming.

I LOVE that he’s wearing #8 and coming to the off season program

Massive overpay. We gave up a quality 2nd a swap of 1st rounders which equates to a 3rd rounder in value. And what will 99% be a 1st rounder in 2024. All with no protection if he retires after this next season.

 

So we traded a 2nd, 3rd, and a 2024 1st for a 39 year old for possibly only 1 year.

 

Awful deal. JD lost big time.

I agree.  The Packers were adamant about getting a 1st round pick, and they essentially got that 1st round pick next year.  Green Bay got what they wanted.  I don't mind the exchange of 1st round picks this year, and I expected the Jets to give up one of their 2nd round picks this year.  We got back a 5th round pick, and gave up a 6th round pick, which is a win for the Jets.

The dagger in the heart was giving up the 1st round pick for next year.  If the Jets somehow bad this year, that 1st round pick becomes a major deal.  If the Jets make the playoffs, then the pick will be a lower 16 pick.  The conditional 1st round pick for next year should have been getting to the second round of the playoffs this year.  Then the 1st round pick would have been somewhere between 25 and 32.

Every 1st round pick wins a super bowl?  It's a 1st and a 2nd.  How good would those picks have to be to make this sh*tty team as much a contender as they are today?  This is one of those trades that is a win if he is a good QB and a loss if he isn't.  The trade compensation will be almost irrelevant to whether it is a good trade or not.

So it's definitely one year Nostradamus?

From the guy that was 90% retired a month ago.  Coming to this toxic fan base - with super high expectations and without the roster to support such expectation. 

Yes, definitely one year.

that's part of the risk.  if wilson becomes viable, then losing a 1st next year isn't as big a deal at all.

agree.  i dont believe wilson can be coached into being an good nfl qb, but with rodgers there, wilson KNOWS for sure he aint getting on the field.  It may just cool his heels and open his mind enough to remake himself while looking on

[SickJetFan]

Works for me

2023 draft sucks anyway and hopefully with the superbowl in sights the 2024 1st pick is number 31

win/win/all in

Green Bay did very very well for themselves considering they had no leverage. Their initial demands must have been astronomically insane if this is what they “settled” on.

Doesn’t say that.  Just says the 2nd becomes a first if he plays 65% of their snaps, nowhere does it say 2023’s snaps.

This is BS - Joe effing Douglas got out maneuvered and caved to GB. 

Way overpaid in a desperation move to save his job.
