Aaron Rodgers traded to the New York Jets

[FidelioJet]

Anyone know the cash part?

Based on the one sided nature of the trade comp I assume the Jets are taking on what will likely be all of the salary.

Let’s get some perspective. The New York Jets just became legitimate Super Bowl contenders.

That unserious organization may be holding a Lombardi in 9 months.

If Rodgers is even close to his MVP level, we're definitely in that mix with the Bills, Bengals, and Chiefs.

I would say if we gave the first next year we are drafting the insurance qb this year …. LETS TAKE HENDON HOOKER ROUND 2 ….. WE JUST RESIGNED MCGOVERN NO NEED FOR EARLY CENTER GET QB

[LockeJET]

To get Aaron Rodgers and still have a first and second round pick this year is pretty big. If I’m the Jets, I’m looking to trade 15 back to the mid -late 20s, get a couple picks this year and next year’s first round pick from that team. This way, if we have to give Green Bay a first round next year, we will still have a first and second round pick in 24.

OMG...FAIL

I always assumed it would be a pick swap in round 1, but a 2nd also?  A conditional 1st for 65% of plays.  FAIL.

[Beerfish]

Tom Brady and Matt Staford

or

Deshaun Watson and Russel Wilson?

[rayzor]

Why do some think this is a bad trade?  Wasn't the original expectation our 2 second rounders plus next years conditional second that would become a first if we made the playoffs?  What we traded seems better imo.  Essentially a 2nd, a bottom 3rd (value equivalent of 13 and 15 swap), swap of their 5th for our 6th plus next years 2nd round conditional most likely turning into a low one.

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.

A first next year???? Stupid ******* organization. THIS WILL CRASH AND BURN

[bd71]

I can’t believe people are complaining about the drop from 13 to 15 and the #1 next season.  We landed a Hall of Fame QB who will be out to prove the doubters wrong.  Rodgers makes the team Superbowl contenders.

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.

How easy those conditions for it to be a 1st next year is a joke.

but I will not be able to enjoy the SB win because we won't have a pick in the '24 draft

Imagine forgetting your team gave up a first in '24 for a guy's who is retired

A pick that could be pick 32 because a pissed off Rodgers is extremely dangerous for the rest of the NFL. 

[David Harris]

NFL MVP 2 of the past 3 years

Will be surrounded by the most talent he’s had in years

Have your pity party over the draft picks and then get on board for this ride

[Claymation]

A fair trade hurts both teams, basically the Packers got a 2nd and a late round 1st for a player who won the MVP in the past 3 years.

That's assuming he plays and plays well.

If Aaron plays 2 more years, and plays well, then the Packers didn't get enough.

But right now this trade is a fair deal.

[rillo]

Wait, this wasn't teh leverage I kept hearing about?

[jetblue95]

they gave up a little more than i was expecting (the swap of 13 for 15 and the better of the 2nd rounders) and the contingency on next year's pick being readily achievable baring injury, offset slightly by the 37 slot upgrade from the 6th to the 5th this year.  so slight disappointment there, but at the end of the day, aaron rodgers is now the QB of the NY Jets.  not zach wilson, not jimmy glass, not gardner minshew, not ryan tannehill, but a bona fide first ballot hall of fame QB only a year removed from back-to-back MVP seasons.  hopefully there are some other moving parts in terms of contract restructures or GB assuming some cap hit, but that remains to be seen. 

i personally expect rodgers to play for at least 2 years and don't pay much credence to his 90% retired stuff.  he was obviously demoralized playing in GB, for a front office he grew to despise and seeing his stud WR walk.  he now reunites with his favorite coach and gets to play with some young stud talent like GW, breece and sauce.  i'm hopeful he now has a huge chip on his shoulder and wants to seal his legacy by taking the jets back to the playoffs, and if he can get us to a SB, his legend is secured.  of course, this is the optimistic take, and being a life long jets fan, it usually isn't a happy ending...

Imaging give up what the Jets gave up for a guy no one else wanted to a team that couldn't keep him.

The Jets are a very unserious organization.

You and @Joe W. Namath team up this off season and decide to be negative Nancy’s? That the heck happened??!

Oh no…we’re gonna miss out on the Line Backer in the first next year. Nooo..how will we survive.

Joe D embarrassed himself today.  Making a bad trade is one thing.  Getting hosed by a clown like Gukenkust is pathetic.

Were you all in on going with Tannehil and Jameis Winston or something ridiculous like that?

[bgivs21]

I think a lot of you are looking at this the wrong way. The compensation is pretty good IF the Jets had an understanding with AR that he's on board for 2 years and is going to renegotiate his contract. 

Looking at it through that lense, this seems like a pretty good deal. It's really only two 2nd round picks we have given up.

I hope all the Rogers cheerleaders enjoy that one and done wildcard game as a nice interlude before we regress to a 4 win for the foreseeable future.

Jets are going to get calls now ! Roughing the QB calls !!!!

Honestly, I don't think that's remotely true.

Now, maybe they'll make a few trades now to bring in a couple more impact players - As currently structured, this is a wild card team if they stay very healthy and catch a couple of breaks.

[HawkeyeJet]

2 questions.  Someone save me some time.

1.  Are people here happy or upset?

2.  When I come back later to share my opinion to fit in on question 1, is this thread the one or the previous mega thread?

JD got fleeced. Wow. 

I wouldn’t exactly say that. As has been said he could’ve made a play for Carr or Jimmie g but was locked on Rodgers from the start. Who knows how much woody pushed this.  But the deal is done. It’s all up to saleh and co to make this all happen. Now they have to deal with qwill.

He was literally never going to play for them again. They were done with each other and there was no serious market for him.

There is no positive spin here. The Jets are a desperate franchise that acted accordingly. Green Bay fans are thrilled.

Not thrilled with the compensation but I’m going to focus on the good as this an earthquake paradigm shift.  
 

The trade just involves draft picks that have at best a 50% chance of working out. Aaron Rodgers is real.

MVP of the NFL two of the last three years.  

He is a NYJ and we are super bowl contenders right there with the Chiefs, Bengals, Bills. 

This will be the most exciting season of our lives, and maybe we’ll get two of these.

The deal is done. It happened. I’m not gonna quibble over the potential of draft picks when the reality of NOW is amazing

Summed up the same for me

no risk it, no biscuit

2010 was a long time ago… time to take a shot…

Late first is very optomistic isn't it. What if it is a top 10 pick and AR retires. Hopefully there is a lot more to this equation?
