It’s now OFFICIAL!!! Rodgers has been traded to the Jets.

[coulomb]

So do we know how this affects GB's salary cap in 2023 yet?

 

[Todd Princl]

Hopkins return would be waaay too much draft capital. Hard no.

I heard they want a second round pick.

I think Gute did well with this, I'm a happy Packer fan.

Me too. Well done Gute!

 

[Curly Calhoun]

The better deal that we got for that tells me we owe moreso of Rodgers contract than they do. That was a great deal. Well done.

Just a guess, but perhaps a somewhat nervous Woody Johnson sent a memo to Joe Douglas...."Git'er dun!"

 

[PackAttack12]

Not really thrilled with having to give up our first round pick, to be honest. Effectively, we're just moving up two spots.

Why not? The Packers were never going to get the 13th straight up. You might as well move up 2 slots.

 

[lambeaulambo]

AR8 is definitely English. Jets 8-9 book it! lol

 

[Fat Dogs]

Nice job Front office! Let’s lower our expectations for any Offensive skilled positions in the first. Lol Gute will go D like always. Here’s to hoping for some offensive weapons for the next two picks

Well, then what was the hold up about?

 

[ThePerfectBeard]

Well, then what was the hold up about?

I think the Jets were really pushing for the protection if he retires after this year.

 

[Pkrjones]

I'm still mad Corey Davis wasn't involved in this trade....or minimum Mims.

Corey Davis may end up a cap casualty, yet. He counts $10mil & may be cut if a low priced vet or WR too good to pass up gets drafted.

 

[Curly Calhoun]

This is basically the original agreement with the Packers refusing to do a possible give back in 2025 if AR didn't play in 2024.

Overall I think it's fair on both sides.

How the Packers see it:

Aaron Rodgers trade: Packers have absolutely fleeced the Jets​

Aaron Rodgers trade: Packers have absolutely fleeced the Jets

The Green Bay Packers have absolutely fleeced the New York Jets in the Aaron Rodgers trade.

(Sounds enthusiastic).


How the Jets see it:

The NY Jets did not get fleeced in Aaron Rodgers trade​

Aaron Rodgers trade details: Did the NY Jets get fleeced?

The most dramatic offseason in NY Jets history is finally over. It's official ladies and gentlemen, the NY Jets have traded with the Green Bay Packers for quart

(Sounds defensive).



I haven't heard anyone suggesting Guty got fleeced, so that's a good thing.

 

[rmontro]

Well, let's hope Rodgers stays healthy.

 

[Half Empty]

Well, let's hope Rodgers stays healthy.

Only until the 65% level is reached. Then, some minor injury that keeps him out the rest of the season and results in a higher 2024 #1.

 

[PackAttack12]

Neither team got fleeced.

Both teams I feel got a very fair deal. The Packers wanted to move on and everyone knew it, so the fact that the Packers got back a 2nd and maybe a 1st is a good return.

And if you're the Jets, you *only* gave up a 2nd and what the Jets sincerely hope is a 1st in 2024 for a hall of fame quarterback that they feel has plenty of gas left in the tank. If they get into the playoffs and win a playoff game, that would mean they absolutely have a shot at a Super Bowl.

 

[Curly Calhoun]

Only until the 65% level is reached. Then, some minor injury that keeps him out the rest of the season and results in a higher 2024 #1.

Best case scenario: Rodgers plays 65% of the snaps, underperforms, Jets finish last in the division, Rodgers retires and comes back to Green Bay to retire as a Packer.

Worst case scenario: Rodgers misses the 65% mark but the Jets win the Super Bowl anyway, and the pick ends up being #64.

Most likely scenario: Neither one of those two listed above.


It's all good.

I think the Jets were really pushing for the protection if he retires after this year.

The 65% of snaps for 2023 is really odd. Were the Jets thinking Rodgers might retire mid-season in 2023?

 

[Spanky]

Anyone who says either the Jets or Packers got fleeced is simply posting clickbait. This is basically the deal from the beginning, and the Packers didn't cave to the Jets having cold feet when AR said he was 90% retired. That's when they asked for give back protection in 2025 if AR didn't play in 2024. Good on the Packers for holding firm. I think that was low of the Jets but the deal's done now and AR is their problem to figure out how to keep him engaged and content.

He annoys me and I embrace this but I’ll never hope or wish a guy an injury to up this.

 

[Poppa San]

The 65% of snaps for 2023 is really odd. Were the Jets thinking Rodgers might retire mid-season in 2023?

65% of snaps should be around 700 total or about 10-11 games.

 

[Todd Princl]

And I am fine with that unless a stud offensive lineman drops.

 

[ThePerfectBeard]

I agree and that's what lead me to my conclusion. They wanted protection, but it seems weird that they settled on just injury protection or theoretically retiring mid-season. I can't for the life of me see why they think he would retire halfway through and would think they wanted more than one year of protection to get a first next year.

 

[Sunshinepacker]

It’s primarily a protection against injury.

And Paris could very well be there.

To be determined. Part of this is Rodgers signing a contract to help out the Packers cap so, won't know until that is done.
