    I can't figure how I see we have leverage. We have cap issues and an incumbent qb the coaching and management side likes who will walk if we dont play him.

    The whole nfl world knows this. Jets fans are gonna jet with or without 12.

    Maximize cap help and take scraps imo.

    Both teams need this to go through, the Packers just aren't in a hurry at all.

    This is the only correct take.

    Jets want Rodgers. Packers need to unload Rodgers. The problem was magnified on youtube by AR's interview with the guy in the wife-beater shirt.

    If they had no leverage, the deal would be done.

    Packers have some temporary leverage because they're fine for now with the status quo. They have their QB. The Jets don't. There are 6 weeks to go until the draft. Packers can afford to wait and see if the Jets will cave to pressure from fans, press and players to make the trade.

    There is a 0% chance that management will put their hand back on the hot stove burner.

    I'm not saying that. Just that there's nothing right now to force the Packers to be in a hurry. Not until we get close to the draft.

    Yes. The leverage is in getting the deal done sooner, something that might benefit the Jets, but doesn't really matter to the Packers.
