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

Where’s MOBB?

Presume after tomorrow - we’ll need a singular Aaron Rodgers the Living Legend thread…

I was thinking the same thing.

Don't think any posters will now say they are Jets fans now, like they did for Bert.

Well maybe our resident Lone Star

As usual - AR says and does exactly what he means. All the haters can’t argue that he’s been super consistent.

I think he wanted to come back to GB and all the media pukes and fans made that impossible for Gute.

70% Jets, 20% Retire and 10% Packers.

Here’s hoping Love is another generational QB…

Sorry, but I’m not buying that “media pukes and fans” pressured Gutes so much he couldn’t allow Rodgers back to Green Bay. I just think it’s nonsense.

If it were true, then Gutes should be fired immediately. Imagine any franchise whose player personnel decisions were driven by media and fans.

Sorry, Fos. You post some interesting and thought-provoking views, but that statement you made is Texian in its reach.

I believe that was his intent.

If he is traded to the Jets I'll root for them. They're in the AFC and not likely to play GB soon.
Only reason I wouldn't root for them (or Rodgers) is if there's a non-conditional draft pick, and losing makes it better for GB.

FWIW, even if Rodgers does well playing for the Jets he'll have a tough road in the AFC with BUF, KC, CIN, and others nipping at his heels (MIA, LAC, DEN?)
I'd expect him to have a slightly better year statistically because of the receivers (Wilson, Davis, Moore, Lazard), but I wonder if he's going to survive 17 games behind that OL. Mike White almost got killed against BUF.

And no, Gute was rumored to have wanted to move from Rodgers before the end of last season. Maybe fan sentiment would sway Murphy, but not Gute.

It was mostly in jest. But players do bring revenue - some franchises only look for players.

that is absolutely fucking insane for allen lazard

i would have said 5 or 6 million a year was too much for what he is

I wouldn't want Lazard for 4/44M either. He's 27 so he should be in his prime. He's not a speedster, not great at contested catches, and not a #1WR. I'm not sure he's even a #2 WR. He blocks really well has good size and AR trusts him. There's value there, but I'd say it has its limits. He's worth more to some teams and their schemes that others. I figured Luke Getsy was going to get him since the Bears have all that cap space, but this makes sense too. Hackett will know how to use him and with Breece Hall at RB they could do some damage if AR doesn't check out of the playcall.

Last off season he took his time signing his tender and wanted a long term deal. He didn't get one so his end of season comments weren't surprising and I figured he was gone. Seems like a good teammate and he worked hard to get from the JAX PS to where he is now... happy for him. Also happy GB didn't sign him to that deal.

wouldn't it be funny if the jets run out of cap room overspending on all of rodgers demands, then don't have enough to fit him in

not funny for us, cause we would be stuck with him, but funny

I'll be honest, there are a BUNCH of funny scenarios out there to be had. It's a mystery, as always with this guy.

i'm just so glad that we are just about done with him and he's about to be someone elses headcase

Lazard was predicted to get between 10 and 11 per Year. One of the best run blockers you'll find at WR in the NFL.

I also think the WR free agent crop isn't great and the price for a WR has been rising. Vikings will have to back up a brinks truck for Jefferson.

Now that the Jest have Lazard and possibly Cobb, do the have Guter by the balls at this point, trade-wise? “Yeah, we’ll give you a third. You don’t like that? Okay, take him back.” But then again, they don’t get Rodgers, they got no QB. It’s in everyone’s interest to git’r done.

It's interesting Fritz. Jets fans are pumped, so are the Jets players. It is sort of a game of chicken in a sense as PFT mentioned. Ask too much and Jets say forget it and Murphy & Gute shit their pants. Jets face huge backlash. Jet's fans are pissed.

Really kind of an interesting situation, if you ain't Tex of course.

[Fritz]

I’d agree there, Ras. Wonder who’d be worse off: the Packers with Rodgers wanting to play with Love a-waiting, or the Jets without a QB and big playoff hopes? We’ll see how this shakes out soon enough.
