Wow, we actually agree on something hahahahaha - that it was posters in here (not so much fans in general) more so than the team that inexplicably want the trade to go through, along with the inevitable slide to mediocrity that will bring. And yeah, craving that is definitely shitheadedness.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
If the Jets back out, there will be a HUGE backlash from their fan base. They're just playing hardball thinking they're gonna steal AR from us like they did Favre for peanuts. And AR is worth a lot more that BF was at his point in his career.
Except Favre lead the Packers to the NFCC game the season before he was traded, and Rodgers was subpar last year. Yes, injuries were a big part of it, but it's still the last thing everybody saw with him.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
The number one person that wants the trade is Rodgers. What a shithead.
Sharpe, I'd say the Packers are equally motivated to trade Rodgers as Rodgers is to be traded. From what I can gather, somewhere along the way after the season they decided it was time to move on - I'm guessing Rodgers was pressing his demands about who he wanted back, and the team just didn't want to go down that road again.

They certainly are now that Rodgers says he wants the trade.
Were they similarly motivated before that happened? It's plausible but not confirmed. All we know is they haven't said that publicly and they didn't come out and say it to Rodgers either. They just said it to Rodgers "in so many words." Which could be interpreted many different ways.
I think it's like Game of Thrones politicking - when you're on top and the MVP you can make people grovel and trade for Cobb to please you, but if you then go and miss wide open WRs and go 8-9 you can bet someone is coming to kill you in your sleep.
Boy, that was a mixed up metaphor.
Basically, they put up with him for as long as he was playing like an MVP. Epitome of the saying that "the NFL is a 'what have you done for me lately' league".
Now that Rodgers has said he wants to be a Jet and the Jets brass have gone out and visited him and signed Lazard, they've already squeezed the toothpaste out of the tube. It's not going back in.
Tex, what makes you think they will be indefinitely mediocre? Lots of different teams have won 10+ games in the league in the last 10 years. Over the last 4 seasons 10, 13, 12, and 9 teams won double digit games. The team isn't run like the Bengals or Raiders.
Gutey said that he tried contacting Rodgers several times this offseason and he wouldn’t pick up the phone or call back. So gutey had to move on and do his job. Per Matt Schneidman.

It reeks of the Favre situation where Favre was doing his usual off season routine of staying away and saying he’s not sure…. They put up with it until Rodgers was ready and then they twisted Favre’s actions into a big drama where Favre did it to himself.
They’re just done with 12 and ready for 10. If they weren’t ready for 10, they woulda put up with another offseason of Rodgers usual stuff.

On a more positive note, them going out of their way to cut ties with 12 shows they like what they see in 10. I never like a QBs chances of being great, but the chances just got better if the Packers brass believe in him enough to move on.

This kind of confirms what I thought. The post-season meeting with Rodgers did not go well, probably regarding what offensive players they would be bringing back.

Sounds like Rodgers made it clear he wasn't committed to the Packers "in so many words?"
"Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst acknowledged in a conversation with reporters today that the Packers won’t necessarily get a first-round pick from the Jets in the Rodgers trade, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network."
We agree again, sort of. If in fact the trade goes through, as even I am expecting by maybe about 80-90%, then Rodgers definitely will be on my shit list, as he made that horrible statement on McAfee that made ya'all fools so happy and probably doomed Packer football for the foreseeable future. I have said, and I repeat, if he's playing for the Jets or anybody else, he becomes the enemy, and I hope he breaks his knees or gets otherwise career-ending injured.
No denying what he said, but I'm not completely sure he meant it - the reason I say "sort of". And I'm completely sure he won't retire and walk away from the $59 million - in which case he would be return to the Packers and be heartily welcomed by anybody who isn't stupider than even the worst of the shithead crowd.

gutey, the master of negotiations
who the hell comes out and says that in the middle of negotiations?
Well, the Jets also came out and said "We won't talk to Lamar Jackson as we'd be negotiating in bad faith." WTF are these guys doing!
Some think that the 2 sides have agreed on compensation, the issue now being money.
