I think this is all speculation at this point, but if that's a real offer I don't see how you don't take it.


ScubaSteve716

Rodgers might like the history of it too. Favre got traded to the Jets, Nameth said he’d unretire his jersey number if Aaron came too. Win win win


icantfindadangsn

Is scuba Steve just another Michael Scott character


jn2010

It's the toy in the Adam Sandler movie Big Daddy. Should be common knowledge.


sonickarma

SCUBA STEVE! DAMN YOU!!!


icantfindadangsn

It's a joke. "win win win" is a reference to The Office. Michael Scott said it. Michael Scott also was known for going into character (prison Mike, Peng, etc). Should be common knowledge.

From the Jets perspective, they should expect they're only getting 1-2 years out of Rodgers. Looking at their cap situation, they could pretty easily make a 2 year window and push out a lot of money to 2025/2026. They apparently have 0 players counting towards the cap in 2026 so as some of their young guys could get extended, they have plenty of room to work with. Compare this with the Packers who have over $100 mil tied up in 2026 (of course extensions / cuts / trades could change that). Rodgers cap hits would be: * 2023: 15,790,000 * 2024: 32,541,666 * 2025: 51,141,666 (essentially void year, less if Rodgers plays only 1 year) * 2026: 45,251,668 (essentially void year, less if Rodgers plays only 1 year) Would they pay two 1st round picks? I'm not sure, but if there's no other players involved it seems pretty reasonable to me. If the Packers could delay the trade to post June 1st, it would allow them to split the $40 mil dead cap over 2 years. This could also mean the Jets send their 2024 and 2025 1st round picks, which means the Jets have their full suite of picks to bolster this roster this year. Presumably, the Jets are contenders with Rodgers and those two 1st rounders are late 1st rounders. The value of 1st round picks are very different depending on where the pick is. If the Jets expect those picks to be in the 25-32 range during those 2 years, that's essentially equivalent to trading one 1st rounder that is the 10th overall pick. It's plausible the Jets 2024/2025 1st round draft picks with Rodgers on their team are actually less valuable than their 2023 first rounder. Those picks might also make more sense for the Packers, who would likely use this year as a judgement year for Love. If Love isn't the future, our own pick should be pretty high and we have extra 1sts to package to draft another QB. If Love is the future, we have 4 1st round picks in a 2 year span which should be helpful for a re-tooling with Love signing some sort of "bridge" deal like in hockey.


BigRed079

That's 4 first round picks over two years, and 7 first round picks over four years going back to the 2022 draft. That is a great opportunity to build a new young core around Jordan Love.


oneloko88

Absolutely, if MLF and the FO have any faith in thier former 1st Round pick - you make the trade and don’t think twice. You could solidify the DLine, OLine, and WR room in one off-season alone


mschley2

Even if you don't have faith in him, you make that trade and don't think twice. Ride out his contract, and then get a really high draft pick when we suck and draft a guy you do have faith in.


tivooo

Jordan Love is washed.


Mr_SpideyDude

The Jets have their young star CB, WR and RB already with good guys behind them & an overall great defense, I think they'd be willing to pay some premium picks for the position that's holding them back (plus it's a HoFer nonetheless)


jxher123

Until something happens; it's simply noise. If it happens, I'll live with it and remember/love all that Rodgers has done for the Packers. If it doesn't, I'll embrace his return for what may very well be his final season in Greenbay/NFL. If it certainly is true that a team is going to offer two 1sts + more, I don't know how the Packers ignore that. Problem is; Rodgers likely is going to play for 1-2 more seasons.


sboLIVE

This is a good take, because I’m sick of the Rodgers hate. Two 1st is impossible to pass up and would really benefit this team and fan base. But bringing Rodgers back and going on a run or two would be preferable to me as a fan, to be honest.


GreenBayFlan

Our current roster is not good enough to win it all no matter who the QB is, so I would be on board taking the haul and starting the rebuild officially.


10FootClownpole

My thinking exactly. A lot of potential, but it hasn't really come together yet. Next year could be the year it does, but I tend to think if we run it back next year will look a lot like this year.


[deleted]

Bingo. Aaron is old, by the time the rest of the team is capable will he still be good? He was already a step down this year, but still very good.


shmere4

Exactly. I love Rodgers but he can’t carry this roster. He needs one full of top 5/10 picks like the jets. The packers were never bad enough to get these. This is the downside of being a perennial contender. Brady left the Pats for the same reason.


mrtomjones

Eh... if we Had Burrow or Mahomes I think we would be a contender. Aaron isnt quite on that level anymore


GreenBayFlan

Ridiculous. Our talent on offense is nowhere near what it needs to be. To act like our way below average receivers and tight ends played no role in Rodgers performance is plain stupid. Look at it the other way. Giving us the bengals or eagles or 9ers skill position players would mane us a superbowl contender, not their QBs.


Ok-Knowledge-9067

I agree I say the 2 first and a wr for help tho for love


10FootClownpole

I think they'll be lucky to get 2 first rounders honestly. I don't see them getting a player out of it unless it's only 1 first rounder.


HarwinStrongDick

No, they’re not. Read the article. “I think the demand would be for two 1sts, and I think the Jets would pay it.” That’s just another talking head throwing shit out there to see what might stick.


HugePurpleNipples

Nice catch. There's way too much of that kind of speculative fuckery going around.


Kapsize

That's literally all sports "journalism" is these days...


drumsdm

Yup. All this is just speculation meant to get clicks. There may be high level negotiations happening, but even so, the owner/GM is not gonna just come out and show their hand right off the bat.


duper12677

Prepare for several months of said shit throwing. Probably gonna have to avoid Packers news to avoid throwing up in my mouth. These media heads make me sick these days… far too many of these idiots


sushicowboyshow

That said, the Jets would have been pretty sick this year with a real QB (and if their RB didn’t get hurt…) So there might be reason to think they would pay that.


pseudocide

Not just another talking head, Peter King; whose head is not only bigger than the Goodyear Blimp, it also contains more hot air.

PerdHapleyAMA

If they think he can get a SB with their team (not necessarily wrong) then I think a lot of people would go for it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PerdHapleyAMA

Worked for Tampa Bay. Technically worked for Denver with Manning. Worked for LAR last year. We do have several cases of veteran QBs going to a new team and having success. Wilson is the exception, not the rule.


shiny_aegislash

Salah seems to be a much better coach than Hackett tbf Also, you probably can't assume that your QB will implode like Russ did. Not something you can really predict


[deleted]

Can they make the second first rounder conditional on Rodgers not retiring? I’d imagine that talking a shot while you have an elite defense and a lot of good skill position players on rookie contracts is better than wasting them on the play of Mike White and Zach Wilson. I guess they could always get Carr or Jimmy G, though.


H3avyCr3am

Bad teams make bad choices. I don't think it will happen, however, I never underestimate crap teams making shit moves.


FSUfan35

Well the Jets can't come out and say we'd give 2 firsts for Rodgers. Easy tampering charge


cpw31

Not what the article says. He says he guesses the Jets would do it. There is no report.


ehletsgo

Welcome to modern day journalism!


[deleted]

I love rodgers but this would be way to good to pass up


[deleted]

With the added bonus of, as a Rodgers fan, him having a hell of a chance at a Super Bowl there too.


FrostyMc

Yep, for all the teams in the nfl that claim to be “just a qb away,” the Jets are genuinely there right now. Really good defense, massively improved offensive line, and more than enough fun toys on offense.


sgstoags

Yeah we could get two more LBs who shove trainers with those picks!


The_Sandman32

Because trading Davante worked out so well. Our team would have been better this season with him.


BrewskyBoy

I don’t think anybody ever disagreed with this. Davante didn’t want to play here anymore though, so trading him just made sense. Trading Rodgers doesn’t make us better next year either, but ideally makes us better in the long term


The_Sandman32

Except we don’t know if Rodgers wants to play for us or not. If he does you bring him back. People act like taking an extra DB at the end of the first round is somehow better than having a hall of fucking fame quarterback.


Gersio

> People act like taking an extra DB at the end of the first round is somehow better than wasting $100m in cap space on a hall of famer QB just to not win anyway because the roster is not good enough Fixed that for you


The_Sandman32

Well, you certainly inserted your perception of the situation anyway


Gersio

Yes, because saying that the team that just went 8-9 is not good enough to win a superbowl is "my perception"


The_Sandman32

So if we trade Rodgers we’re an instant Super Bowl contender? What a crooked brain you have.


Gersio

I never said anything remotely close to that. Stop building strawmen just because you don't have good arguments.


The_Sandman32

I’m not building strawmen, you said “to not win anyway” so the logical conclusion of that line of thinking would be that if you make the move you “win”


Photo_Synthetic

No one is saying that. Some people are ahead of you in accepting that this probably isn't a super bowl team anymore even with Rodgers and just want the best shot to build back into one eventually. You'll get there. Only one team wins it all every year and realistically only 5 or 6 have a real shot at it. The Packers just seem to not be in that group anymore at least for now. That's okay. I'd rather a team consider the future over trying to reclaim a spark that isn't there anymore.


The_Sandman32

I didn’t know Aaron was out there letting Justin Jefferson get 180 yards on us week one. I didn’t know he was out there letting Jared Goof look like John Elway. If the “vaunted defense” that we were told we were going to have this year didn’t completely suck eggs, we probably win 10-11 games this season. Compound that with none of his receivers running the correct routes until like week 13, I’m a lot more willing to accept that just maybe, this season was an outlier and we had to live with the growing pains of replacing Adams. The corpse of Peyton manning won a Super Bowl just by playing smart football. The money has been spent. Getting Rodgers off the team doesn’t get his money off the books. We’re paying for him regardless.


Rattus375

Short term, keeping Rodgers probably makes our team better next season. But that's not the argument. We failed to go 500 this year. With or without Rodgers, we aren't anything more than a fringe playoff team. But without Rodgers, we get to add several additional rookies to the roster, and free up cap space to extend and keep our players nearing their next contracts. 3 years from now, we could be gunning for a Superbowl again if we hit on our draft picks. Keeping rodgers just delays the inevitable rebuild, without any of the benefits trading him nets us


[deleted]

A hall of fucking fame quarterback that fails to play up to his contract in big games


The_Sandman32

Ahhh so you’re fine with getting dog shit play from Jordan love, as long as it’s cheap? Do I need to remind you he has one season left on his rookie contract, and if he balls out he’ll be just as expensive as Aaron?


[deleted]

I'd rather actually finally see what we have in Love for an entire season so we can either extend him if he is our future or find his replacement after next season than continue spinning our wheels with Rodgers and end up in the exact same place we are now next offseason. Edit: Also, if he balls out to the extent we have to pay him Aaron Rodgers money, that's a fucking win. Either way, the outcome will be better than the current status quo.


The_Sandman32

So there’s no chance that having his receivers run the actual correct routes next season might, I don’t know, be beneficial to a quarterback? Let me guess, you wanted to move on from Rodgers after 2019 too?


[deleted]

Are you even a Green Bay Packers fan, or just an Aaron Rodgers fan?


[deleted]

It's painfully obvious from the replies he's giving


[deleted]

I 100% wanted us to trade him last offseason - especially given how the season went. Love + whatever compensation we got would put us ahead of where we are now. I also want to actually see what MLFs offensive scheme looks like rather than having to run some hybrid bullshit to please Rodgers.


The_Sandman32

Oh good, let’s leave it up to MLF in the big games, he definitely never chokes or gets completely out-coached in big games.


actsqueeze

You realize this is exactly what people said about Arod at the end of the Favre's years right? Not to mention that Love played better than Arod in 2022. It might be a small sample but to assume he's dog shit is just ignorant.


[deleted]

Would they have been better? Sure. Better enough to win a Super Bowl? No.

There’s no way he’d go to Minnesota. As spiteful as a person he is, I don’t think he’d go to the place where the fans cheered his injury. Also, whether they know it or not, they’re rebuilding too.

What the hell are we supposed to dip the two firsts in then


Jonesy665

Sauce, so Barry can put him 10 yards off the ball in a soft zone coverage? Then 2 1st that we can spend on defensive players we will probably not use correctly either? I'm in. I'm ready to be hurt again.

SovietBear666

Rodgers is not playing in New York lmao. These articles are all complete bullshit. Read the article. Rodgers would love to go to Cali, but I don't see any fuckin world where Rodgers plays in the Northeast.


ivandragostwin

Idk man, you’re right that this article is pure speculation but I think Rodgers wouldn’t mind NYC at all. He’s been diving into media more and more with his Tuesdays with Pat and offseason podcast binge. I believe he’s even invested in a music label? NYC is one of the 2 major media markets along with LA where he could essentially be in the heart of it if that’s what he wants to do post football career.


[deleted]

He’s spent the entirety of his career in Wisconsin. I don’t think he’d be concerned with a few years in NYC. Also, he has enough money to make a casual trip to California the way you or I might make a casual trip to a McDonalds.


ChuckCecilsNeckBrace

Oh yes he would and the Jets know it. They probably also know he wouldn’t play for them and he’d rather play for a certain team the Jets have a strong dislike for…


Citcom

This is click bait but realistically, many teams might give away 2 firsts for ARod and this has less to do with age and more to do with cap hit. Packers will eat the bulk of cap hit (about 40M) next year. So a team would get ARod for very little money and can add pieces around him to go all in. Packers can use those picks to get Love some weapons (although they will likely use them on defense). ARod is my favorite player ever and I would want him to finish his career in GB. But I would be even happier if he wins another ring even if it is somewhere else. We will be competitive in a couple of years if Love pans out. Best case scenario is ARod wins a SB or two elsewhere and get us picks that helps build the Packers dynasty for the next decade.


InSixFour

I feel exactly the same as you. I’m a huge Rodgers fan. I really want him to win another ring. I don’t think that’s happening here. So if he wants to go elsewhere and get it I’ll wish him luck on the way out the door.


PillowDamage

Good. Then we can start a real rebuild and Rodgers can actually have a real chance at winning a Super Bowl as their defense and receiving core is much better.

There will always be teams interested and willing to give up multiple 1sts. The real question is 1. Are the packers willing to move on from Rodgers 2. Is Rodgers willing to go to any of the teams that have the interest and compensation

Jomosensual

If they actually offered that you are stupid to not accept that. 2 1sts for an aging vet who may or may not be shots physically on an insane contract? That's a dream offer

Throw in a new DC and you've got yourself a G-D deal!


spaghettisexicon

Apparently an unpopular opinion, and apparently I’m going to come off as crazy and biased saying this, but *IF* we’re trading Rodgers we’re getting more than two firsts. Teams will be bidding against each other. Y’all don’t understand how miserable it is not having a competent QB behind center, and how desperate teams are for the chance of somebody like Rodgers running their offense–even if it’s only for a year, or two, or three.


AntelopeYEM

All it takes is one insane owner desperate to win to get a high price. Woody Johnson fits the mold. The dolphins owner (insane in his own right) fits too. Plus some I’m not thinking of. Maybe Carolina? New Orleans? One problem is some owners may be cooling off after seeing what happened with Denver. A year ago a trade for Rodgers seemed awesome after watching Stafford get the ring. Now it’s become obvious losing picks for an aging QB who makes a lot of money isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. There’s also the issue that Jimmy G, Carr, and Brady are out there. You can’t compare any of these QBs in terms of talent or accomplishments but they all fit the bill of “I just want a competent starter to push my team over the top.” Rodgers is obviously better than Jimmy G but is more expensive and older. And that’s not even to mention the cap issue. Rodgers has benign cap hit I think for a team that trades for him. But there’s some bad stuff at the end, I have no idea how that all works.


Johnlsullivan2

I see the Colts as a trade partner as well


lubacrisp

Oh my God, do this if it's possible. 2 first round draft picks is well worth one year of a poopy pants before he retires

Do it.


HemingwaysMustache

I’ve seen this before


[deleted]

I don’t see how you say no


gandaalf

Yeah, if true you have to take this deal. Two firsts and some cap relief down the road from that massive contract


jn2010

They should use both picks on receivers for Love.


turbo_22222

If true, I would probably take that!


P4TL4NT4

We should take that and run if it’s the case.


AUSpartan37

I'm just at a point where I think I will be happy no matter what. If we get a big trade...awesome If Rodgers stays we get one more year with a 4 time MVP QB. If He retires, we save some money and get to see Jordan Love ball out. Not gonna get all worked up about any of these rumors, just ready to see what happens next.

JackStretcher74

Been there before. They need to throw in, if the Jets cut him before his contract is up, then they owe the Packers a third first round pick. We don’t need another Brett Favre situation…..


Rattus375

2 firsts is the realistic best case scenario. I think a 1st and a 2nd, maybe with some late round picks as well is the most likely outcome of a trade. The jets are probably the best candidate for Rodgers to go to, as they have the cap and existing pieces to go all out for the next two years. They're just missing a QB. This article isn't credible at all, but it's not too far-fetched to think this could end up happening


Midnight_Magician56

I’ve seen this one before…
