The contract extension he signed following two MVP seasons indicates the issue is this past season. Seems like Loves
development and a down year for him caused a problem with his plans for the future.

If Love was pushing him for playing time, then holy crap was it a needed and good pick. If not, Rodgers intending to retire 90% or play for the Jets still seems to provide justification for the pick.Originally Posted by PaCkFan_n_MD
So the fact that Love began to improve and develop "caused a problem with [Rodgers's] plans for the future" so he decided he wasn't wanted and it was time for everyone to move on?
By that reasoning, every starter who gets competition from an up-and-coming player will want out.

I don’t think he was pushing for planning time. More so he got better and Rodgers had his worst season. A lot of that is losing MVS and Adams.

I don't understand your point. Why does Rodgers care about Love several years after he was drafted?
I can see the comparisons to Favre. I think timing is an important difference. Favre said he wanted to come back in June, after the draft and free agency. The Packers had already moved on in terms of roster and strategy. That's not the case this time. Sure, it would be awkward if the Jets trade falls through, but they have the cap room and they have time to plan for Rodgers on the roster or even another trade partner.
Maybe…
Not every player…but he wants out so why isn’t possible for him?

It's certainly a possible explanation, but it's not the only explanation. I'd go a step further and say it seems pretty unlikely that Love was the only or primary reason he intends to play for the Jets.
We’ll, it seems more than possible. You’re right there.

Reports are it's close
2nd this year, and a 2nd next year that could turn into a 1st based on how they do. And Jets want a kickback if Karen doesn't play next year. Many feel the Jets are using that kickback to leverage just making this 2 second round picks.
Why don't we ask a bit more and just give the Jets both 3rd round picks. Gutebag has drafted all JAG's and crap in round 3 anyways since he's arrived
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

rodgers was showing signs of decline in the 2 or 3 years before we drafted love (one year was the collarbone year), but his completion % and TDs were down in both those years
then we draft love, and he finds something to get motivated about (cause winning super bowls obviously doesn't do it for him), and he has 2 huge years to "prove" to the packers how wrong they were.
imo, he should be kissing gutey and loves beanbags. they are responsible for the last 2 MVPs that karen is so worried about. if it wasn't for that "motivation", rodgers career might how just faded out a year or 2 ago
This is spot on and why I, for one, was good with them drafting a QB when they did.
True. He stopped giving a shit. Then he gave a shit again. He gave a very spiteful aggressive shit that propelled him to two MVPs. He’s such a little cunt.

Thats called being a normal human being. I would speculate that every one of us has been a spiteful little cunt at times when we have felt disrespected.

I feel like the Packers are in no mood to rush this. It is clear that the Jets will not give up the #1 this year, so there is virtually no reason for Green Bay to seek a rapid conclusion to this deal. The longer this goes, the more leverage Green Bay will have. The Jets appear to have no plan B other than throwing Z Wilson back out under center, and that would go over like a lead balloon in the NY media market. The Jets simply have to land Rodgers at this point, and while they don’t need him until August, the pressure will only mount on the Jets as more time passes.
I think the sides are fairly close on a deal, but nothing will spur it to completion at this point unless one side gives a little. I’m not thinking that will happen until well after the draft at this point.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
I'd prefer to think of myself as a spiteful big dick.

@wendellfp
On his podcast, @CharlesRobinson reports the #Jets have already offered the #Packers two 2nds (2023 and 2024), and the 24 pick could graduate to a 1st.
But the NYJ wants a giveback if Rodgers doesn't play in 24, and GB wants a 24 1st without escalators.

I know people have to compromise to get things done, but I hope the Packers don't agree to any "give back" picks, if only because as a Packer fan I don't want to be part of the annual Rodgers "will he or won't he" drama again next offseason even after he's not a Packer any more.
The San Fran rumors seem to me to be just that. Or maybe a leak from the Packer org to put some public pressure on the Jest.

If the give back is a Packers 3rd round pick, I think most Packer fans could get behind that.

If there has to be a give back, it should be a 5th. But then again, if the JETS want Rodgers so badly, why should the Packers give back a comp.
I guess the Jets don't put much value in SuperbOwls ?
