Good deal. Wow, hard to believe it's done. Gooter didn't want to face the press again without the deal

Dang, end of the era. It's hitting me hard. I feel old to have seen this shiz happen twice.
So a two spot move up, a pair of two and some later round picks change hands. Seems like a decent deal.
Could net a 1 next year, I wonder what the conditions are?
The Packers have traded quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the No. 15 pick in this year’s draft and a 2023 fifth-round pick to the Jets, league and team sources confirmed to The Athletic on Monday. Here’s what you need to know:
The Packers are getting the No. 13 pick in this year’s draft, a second-round pick, a sixth-round pick and a conditional 2024 second-round pick that can become a first-round pick, the sources said.
The blockbuster trade ends Rodgers’ 18-year run in Green Bay that included a Super Bowl title and four NFL MVP awards.
The move injects life into a Jets franchise starving for relevancy at quarterback and turns the page for a Packers franchise handing the keys to 24-year-old Jordan Love.
Good deal. The Love era now begins. Let’s make it 3 straight HOF starting QBs.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
Hopefully this means they have a chance at Skoronski or Johnson to help the line and replace Bak next year.
60% of the time it works every time.
not too excited about the swap, but whatever
FYI, that swap from 15 to 13 is worth about a high 4th round pick
I must be a really horrible person like some tend to say hahahahahaha. The long-expected disaster finally happened on my birthday of all times.
Oh well, it does seem like Gutekunst held out and got a fairly decent haul - the slight trade-up plus a second this year and at least a second, probably a first next year. As bad as this is IMO in general, it could have been worse in terms of return in the trade.
I guess all that remains for me is to do my best to get psyched up for next season and hope for the best. Love shouldn't be horrible, although I highly doubt he does near as good as Rodgers will for the Jets. The Packers do have a heluuva lot around him - just a year ago, it was generally expected that the Packers were the best team in the NFL or damn close to it. Other than Love instead of Rodgers, they still are that (other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?)
I told my grandson to include me in on splitting the Sunday Ticket cost anyway. We'll see what happens.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Sweet.
So nice to be done with that drama queen BS.
Let's see if Gooter can do anything with those picks.
Long live the king, the king is dead.
Not sure if it's talent eval or player development but something is definitely off.
Once this is official - who gets the one thread to rule them all for all things ARod. Is MOBB still alive??
IMO there is about a 5% chance Love is better than Rodgers this year, but I'd give him a 50/50 chance at being about 85% as good, at about 10% of the price.Love shouldn't be horrible, although I highly doubt he does near as good as Rodgers will for the Jets.
They should be competitive, but I think (as with Rodgers' first year) they fall short often and go something like 7-10. If JLove shows positive growth over the season that will be important.
I'd guess 3 wins will separate the top from the bottom in the NFCN.
This is mostly a year of evaluating the roster, upgrading talent at neglected spots (e.g., TE) and fixing the salary cap.
Rodgers was an incredible QB for GB and gave some great NFL moments. Thanks AR and good luck.
Better than I hoped. I was thinking a second and a possible first next year if he did something great. We got the pick swap extra over what I was hoping and he only needs 65% playing time for it to be a first next year. Great deal, Gute!!

Well besides the flipping of first round picks, its pretty much the deal I had in my head. I figured next year there would be some sort of escalator of some sort based on Rodgers and or team production, the 65% of all snaps is actually pretty favorable to the Packers. I don't really trust Gute drafting abilities so I would hope they use the 13th pick to lure some team that want Levis or another QB that dropped to move back in the draft and acquire more picks.
Now I am rooting mightily for the Jets' offensive line to offer superb pass protection, and I am praying that Rodgers plays terribly. Nothing against him, but I'd like that second next year to become a first, and the higher the better.
Nothing against Rodgers. But I AM a Packer fan, not an Aaron Rodgers fan.
