Rumor : Aaron Rodgers wanted ownership interest


Recommended Posts

NFL owners apparently declined the proposal of Aaron Rodgers gaining ownership interest in the Jets, as part of his contract. This was something voted on by the owners just last week. Don’t know how true it is, but says a little about what he thinks of our team and franchise, even though it was shot down.

I would be surprised if this was truly discussed by the parties. I suppose it's possible. But my sense is Rodgers is going to be a part of the Jets franchise well after his playing days are done. It's the honeymoon phase right now, but damn, I have seldom, if ever, seen the mutual love the Jets organization and Rodgers have for each other.

And if this results in a Lombardi in the next 2 or 3 years, I want Joe Douglas to have a lifetime contract.

Aaron Rodgers ; hey Woody I would like an ownership stake in the NY Jets as part of this deal 

Woody : No 

Aaron : okay then you can have a 35 mil discount

Woody : Cool lets play Football

Stupid Rumor

Florio was passing this around as a conspiracy theory as to why Rodgers gave the Jets a $35M break.

Simms laughed at him and his theory.  Enough said

I heard Rodgers asked for partial ownership of Woody's eternal soul™ but apparently it's all ready spoken for. 

If Woody gave up his eternal soul for the god damn Jets he's spoke to the wrong guy. It certainly was not the guy Namath spoke to that's for damn sure

Clearly there's been some miscommunication here.

In reality, it was that Rodgers' reason for giving the team $35M back was for him to help fund the team purchasing their souls back from Satan after 55 long years.

Why else did you all think Namath even offered Rodgers his number, but as a gesture of thanks?

Woody sold his soul to a guy named Nevil. He's a third cousin to Lucifer.

Yeah the first thing I’d do if my request for ownership interest got shot down is demand $35mn of guarantees get cut from my contract.

I think it was Florio who predicted that after Rogers is done playing that the pay cut he took could have been a back room deal to get him a favorable inlet on ownership interest in the future.  Even if that's true, I don't see why it would be a big deal.

Of course owners don't want this, because then instead of paying franchise QB's more and more money they would have to start giving up ownership shares as part of these contracts once the first big one hit.  I'd imagine that is not a precedent they would like to set.

I was going to lock this because I don't think this is an actual rumor. Am I wrong?

Sometimes I don't think Woody is very bright in terms of team management. I am fairly sure that he HAS to have some pretty bright people in terms of managing his estate and wealth.

Only the biggest fool in the world would convert future (short term) salary (a fixed cost) owed to a player into trading that fixed asset into an ownership position ( a return which is astronomical--ask Daniel Snyder). One of the best returns going is a stake in an NFL team. It is printing money. Who gives that away that short term debt obligation for multiples of a future return? Only an idiot.

Seems very unlikely.

Fast forward to 2026 ~ The New York Jets have signed Aaron Rodgers as a consultant for two years $70 million. 

if he wins a SB he will be linked to our franchise forever. he is going to take over for Joe Willy as the resident kisser.
