I firmly believe IF we Trade Rodgers outside of conditional picks there won't be any Day 1 picks involved. IMO Just writing this down as a predictor.
Wouldn't surprise me one bit. I think as this drags out more and more, GM's have had time to think about the ramifications (plus and minuses) of trading for Rodgers. During that time, the media has really gone sour on Rodgers and pounded on his negatives, whether fair to him or not, that is a hard to deny truth. I think the combination of all of the above, added to a not so hot 2022 season by Rodgers and maybe only getting the guy for 1 season, has definitely reduced his value to other teams and to the Packers as well.

Sadly I think the most likely outcome is another year of mediocrity at high cost. We TOTALLY blew it not moving him last off season

Rodgers signed a huge contract making him the highest paid player in the NFL a season ago. That action should have signaled to the team he was committed for the length of the contract without the "need" for any extraneous antics. He could've insisted on a shorter contract if he felt that retirement was an immanent option. He's had his so-called darkness retreat and is still waffling about his desires. I don't expect anything less from him but Gute is probably sick of his behavior.

The Packers structured the extension in a way to have a potential out of it this offseason. It should have been pretty obvious to everyone that the commitment from both sides was only for a single season.

I wouldn't have had much of a problem with that, as long as the Packers weren't obligated to pay the guy, if he decides not to play.

The Packers don't need to pay Rodgers another cent if he decides to retire.

I find it different than the rumors of him coming back to Green Bay that the Jets are not signing Carr - and Saints are. Do the Jets know something different than Snoops or the claims out there?

I find it very hard to imagine Jets don't get Carr if they knew Rodgers wasn't an option...unless they know Lamar is not staying with Ravens and they fully expect to be the tag and trade partner?

There is not a single other veteran QB out there that I feel the Jets would want except those three.

It seems Carr definitely preferred to sign with the Saints over the Jets in the first place.

What about the Bucs?

In my opinion the Bucs aren't only a QB away from being a contender.

Posters that are insisting that nothing happens until the new league year starts, seem to just be giving yet another excuse for Aaron Rodgers behavior.

Nobody has ever suggested anything like that though.

They may not have to PAY him more if he retires but there’s a significant cap hit is there not? What benefit did the Packers gain with the latest contract?

Once again, the Packers trading Rodgers or him retiring will result in the same amount of dead money counting against their cap. There's nothing the team can do about it.

I agree that it was a stupid idea to sign him to THAT extension last offseason, albeit for way different reasons than you.

Trading him pre-June 1st it is the same.

Back to the thread title since it is looking more and more like a trade.
Jets get AR- #237 & #256.
GB gets #13- #112 plus 2024 4th rounder that becomes a 3 if the Jets make the playoffs and AR returns for 2024 season. Remains a 4 if only one of those occurs. Drops to a 5 if neither happens.
Just spit balling.

So I think everyone would think Gute leads with two firsts...and of course Jets are going to argue no firsts....both have arguments with a TON of validity....

In the end I think if I'm Gute I'm wanting minimum a conditional first but worst case three day 2 picks as the main part of the draft capital being returned. I've also said I'm trying to get them to throw Clemons or Ruckert in the deal too....I'll take Mims too while we're at it.

I could easily see it being something like their 2nd and 3rd this year + a conditional pick in 2024 that at worst is a 3rd and best a 1st....and it will be Rodgers and late Day 3 picks back.

The other aspect of this possible trade with the Jets, is the fact that the Jets apparently aren't giving up on Zach Wilson and probably feel that Rodgers and Hackett are the ideal 2 guys to have, to school Wilson for the next 1+ years.

If that were the case then force him to retire. Getting a third round pick like we got for Favre this time around just makes the brass look bad. Especially after what the Seahawks got for a worse player in Wilson. You can’t tell me that his stock has fallen farther than the value of a Carson Wentz.

Poker doesn't even dislike Rodgers to the point of saying he is only getting a single 3rd round pick back.

LOL....it isn't matter of liking or disliking Rodgers, for me, it is a matter of what is best for the team. I can disagree with some of Rodgers decisions and how they have affected the team, doesn't mean I dislike the person. I actually think hanging out with Rodgers might be fun.

If all the Jets are offering is a 3rd rounder for him, I would pass and see what happens down the road. The Packers have until the start of the season to invoke his option bonus of $58.3M, so it isn't like they are running out of time. The cap gets trickier though, with the not knowing part and once the bulk of Free Agency and the draft are complete, the Packers options to trade Rodgers might not even exist.

This just in.







A source close to Packer organization claimed Rodgers broke down crying in front of Brian Gutekunst begging to stay with the team and show up to OTAs.



Further sours claimes Rodgers willing to restructure contract and agree to a significant paycut, and promises not to do drugs of any kind untill conclusion of his career.

An interesting proposition by Silverstein and really, not that bad of a one. Move Jenkins over to LT.

I tweeted the same thing and removed it. I didn’t want to tarnish this great site with satire posts. Unless nobody has a problem with it.

If that is the case then the Jets better eat up all his contract. I would think if the Packers paid a big chunk the compensation would be more.
I think the money involved will definitely be part of the negotiations. The Packers may end up eating some of it and as you point out, if that nets better draft assets for the Packers, I'd be fine with that. Let's face it, the Packers won't be chasing a Superbowl in 2023 and maybe not in 2024, so IMO, draft assets become more important in the short term than cap space.

Jets would benefit should and a big if and when if there is, really could help out with Aaron Rodgers under center. He is saying age is just a number.
