Yeah and again, why not? The Pats aren't set at QB and we know BB knows how to build around a great QB.
I am not comfortable with Myers either. But it is because I really don't know about him yet. He has not had a chance to really jell with the guards and also maybe having a better R guard would allow us to see what Myers can actually do. Maybe the draft will tell us something about what the coaches are thinking about him but right now I am hoping we get a good guard in the draft. And I would not mind seeing us take a top tackle. But that would have to be with the 15th imho. A L tackle that can play on the R for now. Because there seem to be a number of really good ones at the top. So I don't want to trade down with our top pick. If no tackle; then a W/O or D line. I'm kind of torn between edge and interior because as much as I'd like an edge; I saw us give up a lot of yardage from teams running up the middle. Hopefully, Wyatt is the real deal and maybe Slayton can hold his own.
Exactly. I get it, Rodgers turned 39 in Dec. and the Jets don't want to pay for a 1 and done QB. That said, what has really hurt his trade value is his 3 straight years of waffling. It isn't just the waffling either, it is how it has played out each time. If this were Tom Brady, when he was 39, there would be no questions of his long term value. Brady kept saying that he wanted to play for as long as he could.
Sad but true. Rodgers said before he went into his hobbit hole darkness siesta that he was 90% sure he would retire. So he's weird and he lies, and lies more. He never had any intention of retiring in the same year as Brady.
The "good news", the Jets fans and media are used to a bunch of losers and will do almost anything to have a winner. Even better news, they haven't been inundated over the years with the Rodgers drama, nor do they probably know half of it. "Another ones trash, becomes another ones treasure", now if we can just convince them just how valuable that "trash", I mean "treasure" is.
LOL. I have to watch that movie again. You're right, NY fans have no idea what Rodgers is like off field, his hallucinogenic trips, his darkness retreat, his paper thin skin, the search for the inner Aaron, and on.The "good news", the Jets fans and media are used to a bunch of losers and will do almost anything to have a winner.

Note: Before any Rodgers apologists go postal on me for calling him "trash", it was just an expression.

do like my realtor did once. Just don’t send the whole contract only the amendments that say “if he plays next season” and don’t specify and hope that doesn’t get caught and let the Jets make the assumption based on earlier talks. Send them only pages 4-6 to initial.I wonder if Gute has said to the Jets "Fine, for now, we will take your two 2nd round picks in the 2023 draft. However, if Rodgers plays (for any team) in 2024, we get your 2025 1st rounder and for each year after that, the same thing."
I am guessing that NFL teams have some of the best lawyers working for them, when it comes to contractual law. If they don't, than they deserve everything that they have coming to them.
Lindley has been hard to replace.
I think the Jets are heavily invested in Rodgers now. Enough they won’t lose him over a Day 2 selection. Both sides are just playing chicken, but both sides lose a lot from both getting this deal done.

I do not think there are any other teams who can afford to make a deal for Rodgers at that point unless Gute is willing to practically give him away. But dumber things have happened. E.G. Mike Ditka in New Orleans. The Vikings and Herschel. And there are always the Raiders whether in Oakland, LA, or Vegas.
Cobb is a jet
Of course he is.
And let's not forget the Packers' trade for John Hadl. I know, too painful to think about even now.
With all the talent the Jets have, why would they use roster spaces on Cobb and Lazard? I guess I can see Lazard - he's a very good blocking WR but at best a #3 on the depth chart. He is a reliable pass catcher. Cobb is even lower on the depth chart. And the Jets are paying Lazard $11 mil/year? I don't know maybe it's sour grapes on my part. Are they going to sign Marcedes Lewis as well?
Tonyan was the best TE we had. He came in as a nothing rookie and was fairly productive for us and then had a pretty good injury and came back from it. he wasn't taking a roster spot from anyone that he didn't deserve.
Yeah that's a good summary. It really does seem that the only reason Rodgers wants these guys on the team is because he likes them personally. I get the sentiment, but I never worked with someone whose job was otherwise saved because we were friends. (I also wasn't a future HOF QB, but should that matter?)
The saying, "It's not what you know, but who you know" predates Aaron Rodgers by a lot. It became a saying for a reason. Growing up and putting myself thru school I worked a lot of different jobs from shoveling **** to teaching grad classes and one thing I found to be very true, half the people at those places were there because they knew someone, not because they were anything special.
