On the one hand, I can understand the Jets not wanting to give up pick next year (supposedly a second- or first-rounder, depending on how far the Jets go) without getting something back if the guy is not playing next year. On the other hand, they don't want to give up that first rounder this year because they want to surround Rodgers with talent.
I am usually pretty flexible in negotiations, but this "give back" thing would piss me off if I were Guter. The Jets know what they're getting with Rodgers - with the talent comes the yearly "let me take stock and see if I want to play next season" stuff. I'm not necessarily blaming Rodgers - it's a big decision. But it's part of the deal, and the Jets know that. So I would not want the deal contingent upon that offseason drama, and I wouldn't give up a future pick when you're trying to build for the future. That doesn't make sense.
Now if the Jets want a Packer third round pick, or all their third-round picks so long as the Ted Thompson GM Tree is in charge of the Packers, in exchange for another second rounder, or two fourths, or something, sure.

The #Jets are signing veteran QB Tim Boyle to a one-year deal, source says. He reunites with offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who was his OC with the #Packers.
And that means someday between now and the end of time, he’ll reunite with this guy, too…

All the Jets have to do now is sign Lewis and Cobb, and Rodgers has most of his gang back together.

Jake kumerow aka whitewater Jesus would be a huge get as well. Karen sucks as a gm. Looks like gb has fired him from that position and he’s wormed his way into the jets gm position
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 ?
It sure would be funny if the Jets did all this, and then the damn trade fell apart. Even funnier would be if Rodgers then came back to the Packers and had a great season - after all the damned haters got exposed for their despicable selves. That's still highly unlikely, although every day that goes by with no trade happening maybe increases the chances just slightly. But no, doom and gloom is on the way this coming season and beyond.
At least Bretsky and I have Badger football to hope for, not to mention the Bucks and maybe even decency from the Brewers.

The fallout would be epic if the Jets not only did not get Rodgers, but if the Patriots, who have tormented them for 20 years, did.Wendell Ferreira
@wendellfp
And this is kind of shocking: Robinson reports the parties had the parameters of a deal in place. But after Rodgers said the "90% retired" thing, Woody Johnson got scared to spend high draft capital on him. That would explain why the #Packers don't want to take less.

yup, fuck the jets then and fuck rodgers for saying that
if we aren't getting a first this year for him, i say just pay him and tell him to stay home while collecting his paycheck
screw him and the jets
If they wanted to stick it to him, they'd force him to show up every day for conditioning work.
Works both ways, though. What if he comes in, and he looks fabulous? What if he says he wants to come into camp and compete for a job?
Even if you tell him to stay home (can you do that?), how would that look the minute Love throws his first dumb interception?
Both sides need to get this done. Either before the draft of before camp.

It's an incredibly stupid idea. I was just doing a thought exercise. Rodgers would probably prefer to stay home attending darkness retreats over having to report for conditioning every day without any chance of playing.
We can only hope hahahahaha. Each day without a trade, the slim glimmer of hope gets slightly brighter, but odds are still huge that Rodgers will be gone and with him all hope for winning seasons anytime soon.

I don't think the Packers should make the Jets' problem next offseason (will he come back and play? Geez, we can't plan anything until we know) their problem next offseason with any give-back picks.

A tiny tiny bit of good sense seems to be oozing back to ya'all hahahaha - what if ..... What if the deal falls through?
The vile east coast (?) media bastards seem to be getting a little more desperate by the day, trying to do their part to make this shit happen and happen in the Jets favor. It seems like the Packers might at least be holding out for a decent haul.
Does anybody seriously think that Rodgers couldn't or wouldn't easily be convinced to come back and play for the Packers? Does anybody seriously think LaFleur and Gutekunst wouldn't be damn glad to do that convincing if the dust settles and the trade falls through? Maybe they're just going through the motions - does that occur to anybody? Maybe Rodgers was just fucking with the God damned media, even the Packer brass when he said what he said.
Naw, at this point, even I don't believe there's any significant hope for my last two sentences. But don't rule it out, though. Like one of ya'all said a couple days ago, maybe this all ends with Love going to the Jets for a second rounder instead of Rodgers. That sounds great, but I'm not holding my breath hahahaha.

fuck off and die already
Now, Tex has been guilty of telling other posters to “eat shit and die,” but your constant complaining makes you sound a lot like a “Karen.”
The Karen-proof proof phrase is: “Suck a dildo and go fuck yourself (as in, go masturbate).”
I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
I expect to outlive all of these anti-Packer imbeciles who actually WANT to see Rodgers gone with the certainty of long term losing football that brings.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
We all survived the certainty that neither Rodgers nor the Packers would seriously consider a trade. We can survive this certainty too.
