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 |

Don't trade for a 39 year old QB if you are looking for the guarantee of a multi-year commitment, JFC.

Why would the Packers take less now because Rodgers opened his big ****ing mouth? I know I wouldn't. |

A lot of good rebuttals here to my idea but Wisconsin Chief, this statement is really silly:
To be fair, Rodgers hasn't really been the cause of any of this.

This is just like buying a lot of lottery tickets for the Powerball thinking it will be the jackpot.

I mean sure, Rodgers could possibly reitre, or he can play at an MVP level for the next 3-4 years too.
Are the Jets going to offer to send another 1st in a few years if Rodgers gets another MVP and plays 3-4 years? If they win a SB? I don't blame the Packers here at all. |

The second part also explains why Rodgers is the main issue in all of this and why he hasn't been traded yet. |

But there's still the offseason/draft etc so they could do something else. If it falls thru, the pack are taking that hit and dealing with all this shit again. It's kinda hilarious. The Jets should pivot to Stafford and see if they can get something there. |

The Packers have traditionally been well run for not having an owner. Jordan Love will surely be one of the more polarizing players in the league next year simply bc of expectations and limited play time.
God I can’t imagine what it would be like for the rest of that division if Love is another great one. That’s probably not likely, but even a very good QB? Damn man
