They also have to cough up 2 1st rounds picks which is gauranteed.

#1: The Packers gave explicit permission for Rodgers to speak with the Jets. #2: Basically the entire Jets front office flew out to Cali to meet up with the Guru. I mean, it's obvious what's happening. Pack wants to trade him, he wants to BE traded. He's going to be traded. Ill wager it's announced by Friday.
There's a 95% chance he won't be back with the Packers. At this point he's likely trying to decide whether he wants to play with the Jets or retire.
"Will Aaron Rodgers soon be leaving on a Jets plane?
“We’ll find out,” Jets owner Woody Johnson said Tuesday upon departing the Southern California eatery Lucky following a whirlwind Tuesday that included a sit-down with the Packers quarterback at his Malibu home."

I generally HATE sarcasm. Even if I recognize it, I generally reply to the face value of it, hoping to piss off the purveyors of the stupid sarcasm.
This Lamar Jackson situation is interesting. If there is anybody in the whole NFL who I would consider an adequate replacement for Rodgers, it's him - if he can stay healthy, of course, which he probably can't. Maybe when the Jets figure out they aren't gonna get Rodgers, they'll go after Jackson. Am I now degenerating into sarcasm myself? Not really ...... well maybe a little bit.
I wonder if there are conditions on both sides - maybe Rodgers wants assurances they'll sign one or two of his security blankets? Maybe the Jest want assurances Rodgers will play for two years and not just one?
Wow. This thing seems to be under way. Now, what a blow to the balls it would be to the Packers to find out Rodgers is just going to retire, right when they think they might get some compensation for him.
Sorry, Tex. But it would be hard for Rodgers to come back now. Not impossible, but tough. It's like talking divorce with your wife, and actually moving to a hotel for a while as you are flirting and fooling around with another woman, then deciding you don't want that divorce.
I would imagine Jets and Rodgers do have to work out some details before he gives the green light. I can picture Rodgers just retiring or accepting a trade. Gute already said Love has to play, that was a direct quote so I can't see him coming back unless he tries to force it.
I'd have to agree - at this point it looks more and more like either it's retire or play for the Jets.
This sounds kinda dumb, but what the hell, it's just a football fan site, so I'll say it: What number is Rodgers going to wear if he goes to NY? Broadway Joe was #12 and that has been retired. So do the Jets have to go to Namath and pay him some money (so he doesn't have to do those medicare supplement commercials any more) and talk him into giving his blessing to Rodgers wearing #12?
I've heard Namath has said he'd be okay with Rodgers wearing 12. But for symmetry with what happened in 2008, I think Rodgers should go with 4, which is what he wore at Butte.

The old time NFL guys got really jerked around by the league - concussions, permanantly disabling injuries, no ability to work where you want to, lousy pay - I would like to see the Jets help out ol' Broadway Joe. It's sad to see him shilling for some medicare supplemental insurance company. I know he blew his money, but he didn't get paid well in his NFL career, and I'd like to see the Jets help him out.Grease the palm. Maybe even tell him he'd earn it by calling up Rodgers and giving him a sales pitch to come to NY. Though I'm not sure that would work. If Broadway Joe was calling up Brent Favre, maybe - hey, man, the chicks are 24-7 relentlessly hot and young and eager, man! - but I'm not sure he'd connect well with Rodgers.
Okay. Changed my own mind. Just give Joe a check, and tell him to tell the world he's excited about Rodgers coming to New York to wear the #12.
Is this Tex? (Not a political comment).

awesome
If the Packers do trade ARod to the Jets, Joe should trade Tex to a Jets forum.
Please?
I think it's a done deal... They are just quibbling over draft compensation right now. Some rumors it's not gonna take a first, which I could see. ... This was in the works probably back in January already, with the GB front office when Hackett was hired.
I miss Lurker.
