Rodgers just isn't into you Tex. He doesn't want to be a Packer and the only way it happens he plays for them at this point is if he's just showing up and collecting a paycheck.

I'm fairly sure Rodgers knows he's staying and the Packer brass know he is staying. Rodgers is just stringing along the media shitheads and anybody dumb enough to swallow the media shit.
I'm completely confident that I'm aligned with the thinking of the Packer brass on this topic -

I say again, Rodgers isn't gonna be traded, and he isn't gonna retire. If they did want to trade him - which they obviously don't, he wouldn't have much say about where he would go, except maybe to threaten retirement - which clearly would be throwing away so much money that it would be significant even to somebody as rich as he is. All of this trade talk is just ludicrous.
Getting two 2nds would be really nice. Three top 50 picks.
I would take the 2 seconds this year if there is another pick coming for next next year, preferably another 2nd
Agree. 2 R2 this year is good draft ammo. If they threw in next years R2 and put conditionals on it that's ok.
Rodgers the player is worth more, but Rodgers' contract and likely 1-2 year rental is probably not.
I think next year's draft will be better overall but there will be some good players available on Day 2 this year.
Next years round 1 would be nice too. I think it’s you who mentioned that if love stinks, having two firsts next year and a chance to move up in a good QB class is kind of ideal.
I know everyone is thinking we’re gonna get a haul, but I think pick 43 or next years first is about the best we can hope for.

Yeah, I think Caleb Williams or Drake Mays are at least as good as these guys if not (possibly much) better, and there will always be somebody coming out of left field who sets CFB on fire. Maybe Michael Penix, dunno. I think no matter what they will exercise the 5th year option on JL and even if he stinks on ice they have him under contract to trot out there while they draft and bring the next guy along. (I don't think JL will stink.)
Right now they need to focus on surrounding Love with a good OL and skill players, and acquiring as much young talent via Day 1-2 picks (or getting lucky on Day 3) while they unwind from their cap mess. By 2025 they should be in pretty good shape and if JL is any good they could have a window open for a strong playoff run. Starting now it's about developing young players into playmakers and shedding bad contracts.
I think it's unlikely the Packers can get the 13th pick. Can't really blame the Jets for not wanting to give it up given the uncertainty of how long Rodgers will play. The fact that the Jets are apparently the only team interested in Rodgers hurts the Packers here.

Next year's first, even if it's in the mid-twenties, would be a nice haul if they could add one of the Jets' second-rounders this year.

I wouldn't even mind if the first was conditional on Rodgers being on an NFL roster at any point in 2024. I know the jets wouldn't be happy that its not conditional on him being a Jet, but they would have him, under contract, so its on them to make sure it would be with them.
On the other hand if Rodgers is one and done, getting a second for him would probably be fair.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
so
the jets thought that a player who was in the league for 2 years and demanded to be traded after doing not so much in those 2 years was worth a high second round pick
but the QB who is one year removed from his 4th MVP and who everyone in new york thinks is the final piece to winning a super bowl isn't worth a 1st?
fuck the jets, take them to the fucking cleaners
i'll take their 2 second rounders, but i want a future 1st also if he plays more then 1 season
Yep, that's pretty much what the Pack-a-Day podcast was saying as well. Given the contract and the possibility of Rodgers not playing more than one year, normally that wouldn't bring much in return, but Rodgers has the potential to take the Jets from missing the playoffs to playing for the Super Bowl, and that's worth a lot. Both teams need this trade to go through so there isn't really much leverage either way.
