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

[call_me_ishmael]

If I’m the Jets, why am I not looking at Lamar right now? I don’t get it. Not as good of a pure passer but a lot less flaky, younger, more certainty, similar contract, etc. collusion league wide around Lamar for sure.

Tex stick to your guns, fuck all these guys. Bunch of pukes if you ask me. If you put them in the same room as the media the media would be the better half. Even lawyers would be better than them. Not even worthy of being experimented on like rats in a cage.

Oh, don't worry, I will. Some of them in here are halfway reasonable, and some are just plain dumbasses.

As to who turns out to be right and who turns out to be wrong, I guess we'll see. One thing that's sure, though, if those dumbasses get what they crave, it will be dark times ahead for all of us. I say again, I stand by saying it ain't gonna happen. Be careful what ya'all wish for.

KingFriday's post above is kinda interesting. Yes, it would take something like that for a trade to happen, and I'm fairly sure such an "out" doesn't exist.

Because he wants a guaranteed contract even though he's missed 5 games each of the last 2 years. He has a style of play that usually doesn't lead to longevity.

Want and receive are two different things. I want a guaranteed contract too. It’s not gonna happen for either of us.

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.

Well shit. Now you won’t know when I’m being purposefully sarcastic or serious. Muaaahhhaaa

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