The Jets meeting with Rodgers

I know it's been a while. But upon hearing this news I just had to stop by the church, see the congregation on this fine Wednesday and say Hallelujer!

Now GTFO!

Amen.

Long time Nichelle, hope you're doing good 

I just hope its like a 1st this year snd a second next year. It would suck if they get a major haul and turn it into the next ten years of success. 

The media narrative has barely changed about Green Bay, however. Now its that Love is ready to 'shine and be a star' ....the next great QB. Yeaaahhh, because we've all seen SO much play from him, it's obvious. SMH.

What I dont understand is why the Jets would give anything? Green Bay is either trading him or cutting him. Cant they just wait them out?

The Packers don't want Aaron Rodgers on the team. But they currently want a first-round pick and more from the Jets for Rodgers's services. https://t.co/d7DxXxH1qZ

I am betting some other team could jump in if they dick around to much.

They could. But Rodgers is petty. He could be looking to stick it to the packers. Pretty sure he never forgave them for drafting Love, not picking wide receivers in the first, and whatever else he decided was unforgivable. He's declared that he intends to play for the Jets. He could wait them out. Maybe its just wishful thinking on my part. But to me it seems like the Jets hold all the cards.

The Jets should have worked out the compensation 1st, knuckleheads…

who was the one that leaked this?  I don't think it was the Jets.

i have to wonder if they are keeping Wilson, of if them closing this deal is someway tied to them shopping him first.  Hard to imagine Rogers allowing a top draft pick in his QB room salivating for his job.

I guess the thing that struck me was Rodgers waiting until the Friday before the legal tampering period in free agency to tell the teams he was going to play, then turns around and blames the Packers for the delay.
Wonder how he will do without the home town O-line holding allowance and favorable calls that come with Lamblow? Jets fans should be careful what they wish for!

Hey! I'm doing great. Still in Minnesota but I moved downtown and live about 2.5 blocks from US Bank stadium. I can see it from my living room window and balcony where I sit wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'   :3

Hope you are good too!

Hmmm....

Been awfully quiet on this front.

I heard Friday that the Jets are playing games now trying to get out of the first round compensation and get the puke to agree to a couple 2s instead.

GMs for Packers, Jets discuss status of Rodgers trade talks

PHOENIX — Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said he's not requiring a first-round pick in a potential trade sending four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets but added he'd want ''fair value.''

Gutekunst was asked Monday at the NFL annual meeting if there was any way in which he could feel comfortable trading Rodgers without getting a first-round pick in return.
''Yeah, I think that's not a necessity,'' Gutekunst told reporters. ''But at the same time, the value of the player – he's a premier player, so getting premier picks back for (premier) players is important.''
Gutekunst and Jets general manager Joe Douglas both discussed trade talks involving the 39-year-old Rodgers, who said March 15 during an appearance on ''The Pat McAfee Show'' on SiriusXM and YouTube that he intends to play for the Jets in 2023.
Rodgers remains under contract with Green Bay but said he wanted the Packers to ''do the right thing.''
''There's been some productive conversations. Obviously, we're not where we need to be yet. But feel like we're in a good place.'' Douglas said, adding he's ''very optimistic.''
Gutekunst said that ''hopefully, we can come to an agreement sooner than later'' but indicated he could afford to wait until May or June to make a trade if necessary.
''Yeah, I think so,'' Gutekunst said. ''Again, there's not much going on right now. So, again, I think it has to work for both parties and I think we're both committed to figuring that out. It's really kind of in their court right now. We'll kind of see where it goes.''
Gutekunst also said he tried unsuccessfully to speak with Rodgers on multiple occasions this offseason before the quarterback's representatives told him the four-time MVP was requesting a trade.
Rodgers and Gutekunst met shortly after Green Bay's season ended with a 20-16 loss to the Detroit Lions that snapped the Packers' string of three straight playoff appearances. Gutekunst said they'd planned to have follow-up conversations.
''Those never transpired,'' Gutekunst said. ''So there came a time where we had to make some decisions so we went through his representatives to try to talk to him (about) where we were going with our team. And at that point, they informed us that he would like to be traded to the Jets.''
That account conflicts with what Rodgers said during his appearance on ''The Pat McAfee Show.''
Rodgers said he wished the Packers had told him early in the offseason that they intended to move on from him in the 2023 season. Rodgers said instead that after returning from his isolation retreat last month, he ''heard from multiple people that I trust around the league — players mostly –— that there was some shopping going on, that they were interested in actually moving me.''
''The Packers would like to move on,'' Rodgers said. ''They've let me know that in so many words. They've let other people know that in direct words.''
Gutekunst said he wanted to have more discussions with Rodgers earlier in the offseason to discuss how the veteran quarterback could fit in the Packers' future plans.
