What do the Packers get for Aaron Rodgers?

[King Friday]

I feel like the Packers are in no mood to rush this. It is clear that the Jets will not give up the #1 this year, so there is virtually no reason for Green Bay to seek a rapid conclusion to this deal. The longer this goes, the more leverage Green Bay will have. The Jets appear to have no plan B other than throwing Z Wilson back out under center, and that would go over like a lead balloon in the NY media market. The Jets simply have to land Rodgers at this point, and while they don’t need him until August, the pressure will only mount on the Jets as more time passes.

I think the sides are fairly close on a deal, but nothing will spur it to completion at this point unless one side gives a little. I’m not thinking that will happen until well after the draft at this point.

rodgers was showing signs of decline in the 2 or 3 years before we drafted love (one year was the collarbone year), but his completion % and TDs were down in both those years

then we draft love, and he finds something to get motivated about (cause winning super bowls obviously doesn't do it for him), and he has 2 huge years to "prove" to the packers how wrong they were.

imo, he should be kissing gutey and loves beanbags. they are responsible for the last 2 MVPs that karen is so worried about. if it wasn't for that "motivation", rodgers career might how just faded out a year or 2 ago

True. He stopped giving a shit. Then he gave a shit again. He gave a very spiteful aggressive shit that propelled him to two MVPs. He’s such a little cunt.

Thats called being a normal human being. I would speculate that every one of us has been a spiteful little cunt at times when we have felt disrespected.

I'd prefer to think of myself as a spiteful big dick.

On his podcast, @CharlesRobinson reports the #Jets have already offered the #Packers two 2nds (2023 and 2024), and the 24 pick could graduate to a 1st.

But the NYJ wants a giveback if Rodgers doesn't play in 24, and GB wants a 24 1st without escalators.

If this is true, I think they're almost there.

Rodgers just waiting for the trade to go through.

I know people have to compromise to get things done, but I hope the Packers don't agree to any "give back" picks, if only because as a Packer fan I don't want to be part of the annual Rodgers "will he or won't he" drama again next offseason even after he's not a Packer any more.

The San Fran rumors seem to me to be just that. Or maybe a leak from the Packer org to put some public pressure on the Jest.

If the give back is a Packers 3rd round pick, I think most Packer fans could get behind that.

[Sparkey]

If the give back is a Packers 3rd round pick, I think most Packer fans could get behind that.

If there has to be a give back, it should be a 5th. But then again, if the JETS want Rodgers so badly, why should the Packers give back a comp.

I guess the Jets don't put much value in SuperbOwls ?

[Fritz]

On the one hand, I can understand the Jets not wanting to give up pick next year (supposedly a second- or first-rounder, depending on how far the Jets go) without getting something back if the guy is not playing next year. On the other hand, they don't want to give up that first rounder this year because they want to surround Rodgers with talent.

I am usually pretty flexible in negotiations, but this "give back" thing would piss me off if I were Guter. The Jets know what they're getting with Rodgers - with the talent comes the yearly "let me take stock and see if I want to play next season" stuff. I'm not necessarily blaming Rodgers - it's a big decision. But it's part of the deal, and the Jets know that. So I would not want the deal contingent upon that offseason drama, and I wouldn't give up a future pick when you're trying to build for the future. That doesn't make sense.

Now if the Jets want a Packer third round pick, or all their third-round picks so long as the Ted Thompson GM Tree is in charge of the Packers, in exchange for another second rounder, or two fourths, or something, sure.

The #Jets are signing veteran QB Tim Boyle to a one-year deal, source says. He reunites with offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who was his OC with the #Packers.

And that means someday between now and the end of time, he’ll reunite with this guy, too…

[Fritz]

All the Jets have to do now is sign Lewis and Cobb, and Rodgers has most of his gang back together.

[Bretsky]

Jake kumerow aka whitewater Jesus would be a huge get as well . Karen sucks as a gm. Looks like gb has fired him from that position and he’s wormed his way into the jets gm position

It sure would be funny if the Jets did all this, and then the damn trade fell apart. Even funnier would be if Rodgers then came back to the Packers and had a great season - after all the damned haters got exposed for their despicable selves. That's still highly unlikely, although every day that goes by with no trade happening maybe increases the chances just slightly. But no, doom and gloom is on the way this coming season and beyond.

At least Bretsky and I have Badger football to hope for, not to mention the Bucks and maybe even decency from the Brewers.
