What do the Packers get for Aaron Rodgers?

ACME seems to think the Packers have the Jest by the balls. I do not agree. Sure, the Jets are screwed if they can't get Arod, but the Packers are screwed, too. Imagine if they can't get the trade done before the draft. Rodgers starts saying well, if he's not going to be traded, he'd like to come to camp in Green Bay. Meantime, the Packers need to pick up that fifth year option on Love in early May, and now they've got Arod echoing Brett Favre back when. That creates a financial mess - watcha going to do with two super-expensive QB's? Then there's the shitshow of Rodgers threatening to show up to camp.


I think there is significant pressure on GB to get this done.

well if we can somehow drag this out to june 1st it might be really good for us

2nd round picks dont excite me at all, hold firm for that first. come draft day after the top 4 QBs are gone before the jets pick and there is nothing left on the market, they'll be crawling to us

HAve you thought about shopping Red to a Jets forum?

They actually signed him as a UFA. He was one of four posters Tex asked for if he was going to agree to a trade.

The strange thing is - wouldn’t a player want to be traded for the least amount of picks? Ie - more picks taken from your future team hurts your future team.

If the packers fuck around too long - AR may just go public and ask to be cut.

I think that Guter needs to remember that part of the compensation will be peace of mind for the Packers.

I can't figure how I see we have leverage. We have cap issues and an incumbent qb the coaching and management side likes who will walk if we dont play him.

The whole nfl world knows this. Jets fans are gonna jet with or without 12.

Maximize cap help and take scraps imo.

Both teams need this to go through, the Packers just aren't in a hurry at all.

Obviously, the Packers would be better off on the now slim thread of hope that it does not go through. Gutekunst even said before the Rodgers thing on Macafee that if things fell through, Rodgers could be back as the Packers QB. THAT - obviously - is the best case scenario, albeit extremely unlikely. Anybody thinking otherwise is bonehead stupid.

This is the only correct take.

Jets want Rodgers. Packers need to unload Rodgers. The problem was magnified on youtube by AR's interview with the guy in the wife-beater shirt.

If they had no leverage, the deal would be done.

Packers have some temporary leverage because they're fine for now with the status quo. They have their QB. The Jets don't. There are 6 weeks to go until the draft. Packers can afford to wait and see if the Jets will cave to pressure from fans, press and players to make the trade.

There is a 0% chance that management will put their hand back on the hot stove burner.

I'm not saying that. Just that there's nothing right now to force the Packers to be in a hurry. Not until we get close to the draft.

Yes. The leverage is in getting the deal done sooner, something that might benefit the Jets, but doesn't really matter to the Packers.

Some Jets-Packers trade stuff has gone off the rails.
Some suggesting Aaron would force Packers hand by showing up at OTAs. Please.
People, this will be resolved long before that, probably within a week or two.
GB may not get much, but will be more than was offered last week.

[Bretsky]

Wilde and Tausch had some really interesting segments on this. Some points of emphasis.

The Pebble Beach comments about Rodgers flirting with the Raiders and others most likely really rubbed GB the wrong way
Mark Murphy was a major F'ck up by saying what he said in that interview
Rodgers likely did not take that well

GB most likely wants a 1st and future 2nd
Jets offering a 3rd or a 2nd if GB will eat some salary.
They'll end of meeting in the middle somehow.

GB would be smart to wait and be patient. It's not the end of the world if we get our 1st next year in addition to another pick. They are unsure if we can swipe #13
