Rodgers to meet with the Jets

[Dude]

I can assure you the Rams, Chargers, and Niners are not interested.

So Raiders who are in LV now? Well, LV has catered to CA for many years.

Aw shucks. It would be spectacular to say the least.

The Jets are going all in on Rodgers and will trade for him.

Yeah, that is main take in news. Jets can be forgiven, they have been bad for a long time.
Jets need a leader at QB, if AR can do that it is good for the team.

 

[Battlelyon]

They desperate for 3rd place in their division

Maybe he can become a surfer dude in CA?

He probably already is.
He's a Cali native.

if traded.
What does that do to the Packers cap? Got to be a huge hit wouldnt it be?

 

[wazzu31]

They are not there....

Ok. That makes more sense and not what the title said so my bad.

 

[ducky]

if traded.

Dead cap hit of over $40M. Cap hit actually goes up not down by $8 million with a trade.

Unless if is after June 1st. But that seems highly unlikely. They are going to want picks this year would be my guess.

The Packers are accounting for $12,981,568 in dead money this season relating to money previously paid to Rodgers. That will happen regardless of what happens with Rodgers. There is an additional $24.48M of dead money that is due to be accounted for over the next 3 seasons. From a cap perspective if traded the Packers would have to account for all of the additional $24.48M this season but the responsibility for Rodgers' $1.165M salary and $50K workout bonus in 2023 would move to the Jets, as would the $58.3M Option bonus, (of which $14.575M was due to be accounted for this season). The Packers would have $8.69M less cap space this season, and no QB of note, but they'd be cap clear of Rodgers going forward. The Jets would be acquiring a QB due $108.815M in cash over the next 2 seasons. It makes sense for the Jets if they believe they can get 3 good seasons out of Rodgers or if Rodgers repays some of the option bonus if he's done after 2 seasons.

Simple question........

Is Aaron Rogers worth two 1st Round picks and a 2023 Salary of $60.5M??

Absolutely not. Maybe a 2nd rd and a conditional 3rd at best. He dropped off badly last year and will be 40 by seasons end. The salary is what it is and is terrible but as far as picks, no way do I offer any 1st's for him if I'm a GM. Not for 1 year rental that barely gets them contending for just a play-off spot (maybe) and not even sniffing a SB in that conference.

I would rather the Packers crash and burn with Rodgers than receive any compensation for him...

Quoted for truth brutha!

Depends on if the Jets win and to what degree. The goal remains winning, ask the Ram fans.

It’s gonna be weird for Packers fans not having an elite QB for a while… They’ve been spoiled over the last 25 years or so…

Are we 100% sure Rodgers is not returning to Green Bay?

Nothing is 100 percent, but it sure seems like it’s leaning that way, but we’ll see …

For what it’s worth, he did just buy an apartment in the Upper West Side, but apparently the commune is 90 minutes? So I would think that’s a negative for AR becoming a Jet. “Really Long Commute”: Fans Clueless as Aaron Rodgers Purchases Apartment in Manhattan Amidst Packers Exit Rumors

We really need GnG for a Rodgers thread to bring the whole thing into it's perfect little world. This would be a typical Jets desperation move and if they go all in, it reeks of disappointment for their fans. The dude is a choker.
