Who Will Aaron Rodgers Play For In 2023 (Or Will He Play)?

[Joemailman]

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.

I think Namath would just give his blessing...HOFer to FHOFer. It would be a nice story and get him in the papers.

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.

there is no way he's retiring

If the Packers do trade ARod to the Jets, Joe should trade Tex to a Jets forum.

Please?

[Jaire]

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.

It doesn't make sense to send the team's brass to visit Rodgers if they want to haggle about draft picks. More likely they have a deal (or close to it) in place which got them permission to talk to Rodgers. They are now trying to convince Rodgers that his best chance to win the SB is with the Jets the next two years, and trying to work out a restructuring that works for both.

That's most likely but if Rodgers tells them to go get fucked there were be no point in hammering out terms.


edit: On further reflection if that was his attitude why even have them fly out. I think you are likely right on your comments.

Reports coming out that da Raiders are not interested in Karen Favre and the Jets compensation is only a 2nd round pick this year and a conditional pick in round 3 in 2023.

Man, if that is all GB is getting they must really be sick of Karen's dramatic bullshit and McGinn scooped everything weeks ago

I think it goes back to last spring. They gave him an extension that he wanted to assure he could finish his career with Packers. He then didn't show up for any of the optional off-season workouts and practices.
