Jets in talks with Packers, Aaron Rodgers
Jets in talks with Packers, Aaron Rodgers, sources say
The New York Jets have had conversations with the Green Bay Packers and with quarterback Aaron Rodgers this week regarding a potential trade of the four-time MVP to the Jets, according to sources. The sources said some of those conversations were expected to take place Tuesday, but that it's unclear as of Tuesday morning whether they will result in a trade. Rodgers still has not made any announcements about what he intends to do this season. It's still possible he decides to retire, or to stay in Green Bay. But if he still wants to play and he and the Packers agree it's time for him to play somewhere else, the Jets appear to be a realistic option. If the Jets are speaking directly with Rodgers, they and he would have had to secure the Packers' permission, as he is still under contract with Green Bay. So, the discussions Rodgers is having with the Jets indicate at least some openness on the part of the Packers to the idea of trading him there. But there are potential complications to a deal, including Rodgers' huge and complicated contract, that might have to be addressed to make sure both teams would be in compliance with the salary cap by the start of the league year next Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET. Rodgers is under contract through 2024 for $108.8 million. Technically, the contract, signed last March, runs through 2026, but 2025 and 2026 are considered "dummy" years for cap purposes. His deal includes a fully guaranteed $59.5 million this season, with $58.3 million coming in the form of an option bonus, payable before the start of the regular season. Because his bonus money is prorated, Rodgers wouldn't hobble the Jets' cap. He would count $15.8 million in 2023 and $32.5 million in 2024, cap-friendly for a player of his stature. The Packers would get hit with a $40.3 million "dead" charge in 2023 -- nearly $9 million more than he'd count if he were on the roster. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...rs-sources-say |

Aaron is just a dickhead. He loves the attention, and then loves to bitch about it. "Look at me! Look at me! Shame on you for looking at me!"

Yea, but it would be kind of nice to see the Jets beat the Bills twice.
I guess maybe Buffalo could choke anyway?

He's not trying to make Aaron look rude. He's trying to get in on the joke because the world is laughing at him.

Packers ****ed up badly keeping this guy last year. Could have easily ****ed Denver in the ass like Seattle did and gotten a way better return.

You may ultimately be right but I think it's a little early to come to that conclusion. |

Surprised they don't just use that as the stipulation to raise the pick. That 2nd and a 3rd that becomes a 2nd if he plays in 24 and a first if he performs well. (Whatever they decide we'll is)

I wouldn't put it past Rodgers to retire after one year out of spite for the Packers so they have to give up an extra draft pick to the Jets.
