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 |

If the trade goes through, Rodgers will want to prove that his lack of rings was the Packers fault for not providing him with good enough teams throughout his career. |

But you're otherwise correct; Aaron will instantly give NYJ their best opportunity to go deep in the playoffs, while at the same time giving Aaron the best overall team in terms of talent that he's had in years. The best coaching he's had as well. If, and it's beginning to look likely, Odell goes to NYJ and he's actually able to play for the season, they'll be the best team in that division, and it won't be particularly close.

Maybe I'm wrong which is possible but Im stick to my opinion I don't think he will do much there. He will manage the game and not cost them it like say Zach Wilson but that's about it. |

The hype of being Super Bowl contenders alone I think should create some decent chemistry between Rodgers and the team. If Rodgers is driven - whether out of spite or whatever - and has a great team around him he can defs still get it done. He won back to back MVPs very recently. |

The whole point is to save the jobs of the head coach and GM who have failed to build a viable offense on their own.

This is going to be another one of those things where they go out and mortgage their future for an all-star team and get Rodgers, and probably OBJ, and build this offense that should be unstoppable on paper and then they go like 9-8 and nobody can figure out why.

Wouldn't it be better for the Jets to just tank this year (they are used to it) and get one of the top tier QB's coming out next year?? They keep all their picks and can build a decent team this year and then get Caleb Williams from USC or Drake Maye from UNC next year. They get Rodgers for 1 maybe 2 years and then have to pay him and try to keep a team around him. How committed is he going to be when they wind up being 3rd in their division behind Miami and Buffalo.
The Jets sell out for 1 year to maybe get to the AFC Championship game to lose to the Chiefs. Where are the Jets as a team next year? They certainly can't go grab a top tier QB in the draft. They don't have the picks to move up really and their record wont be close to top 10. Where are they in 2 years when Rodgers goes on his darkness retreat and decides to retire. Right back to nothing at QB and sitting waiting for a A+++ type QB to come out again. I guess this is what desperate franchises do when they haven't won anything since the late 60's |

Oh poor mistreated $50MM per year Aaron Rodgers who blames every loss on other players while throwing INT's or not making simple plays to keep the chains moving. Give me a break dude the guy is a cancer. |

They have spent two top 5 picks on QB in just the last 5 years.

You touched on it at the end here, but that franchise is ass. Take a look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...k_Jets_seasons They've got an all-time W/L record that's well below .500. Their all-time postseason W/L is 12-13. They've only won their division 4 times in 60 years. They've only won 1 Super Bowl (back in 1968). They haven't won a playoff game since 2010. |
