Rodgers a Vike in '25?

Dimes is going to want a place to re-hab and hopefully get a shot at starting again in TC.

I think many teams will look at him as bridge to whatever rook they draft this season.

I didnt realize the QB room was going to be that empty in 25. I would not mind re-signing Mullens. The gunslinger is entertaining for one game (and one game only).

I don’t really understand why the Jets wouldn’t bring Rodgers back. I get that we’re biased and people generally don’t like him, but what are their other QB options? I think it’d be more that you’d just have to find the right HC/OC to pair with him. Someone that can make a whole scheme and install it, preferably around his preferences and whatnot. Getting a rookie QB right now looks more like wishful thinking than an actual plan, so they’re probably bringing in a reclamation project and you might as well let that reclamation project be Rodgers.

I also can’t imagine a scenario where he ends up here. I think you probably just resign Mullens unless you can get a better backup for not much more.

The worst two years of being a Viking fan for me were having to stomach seeing Favre in purple, it was really hard to watch. I'd rather go through Les Steckel and 3-13. Honestly, while I was upset at the time, I am glad we did not go to the Super Bowl that one year, because having to see him forever in our history highlights as him winning us our first Super Bowl would not have been worth it. I could not go through that again, no way could root for Rodgers regardless of what uniform he is wearing.

Rodgers is expensive and very very old. I think after canning their GM, they're at the point where they just want to start over. GM, coach, QB, scheme, cap space...just tear it up by the roots and start over. And this time do it right. Easier said than done though.

The biggest thing is Rodgers is playing poorly. Like, bad. Add in the fact that they've given him the world, and it's still not working. I think he's done in NY. The dead cap is going to hurt them bigly but he's due a $35M bonus before 2025. Absolutely no way he sees that. I guess maybe Rodgers could restructure to stay but would he even want to? Would they even want him back?

If he'd take Sam money on a one-year deal and Rodgers came in humble I could maybe get on board, but what are the odds of that happening?

Take this to the bank.
NO EFFIN WAY!

Look at how disruptive Roger’s has been to the Jets this year. Team is in shambles.
No way in He ll

Agree. He's a culture cancer. Sticky's right tho. Siefert is just trying to get a rise out of Viking fans. Packer fans are finding it pretty amusing though.

I will watch reruns of the puppy bowl on a continuous loop before I ever watch a Rodgers led Vikings team.

Let me offer my absolute, unconditional, and enthusiastic agreement to this post.

Lol... Jets GM just got canned. Coach was out a few weeks ago. Mess mess mess.

Those are all valid goals, but if you try to create a plan to achieve those goals, you run into a problem.  You can hire a GM.  You can hire a coach.  You can't just get a QB.  Sometimes the right QB is available at the time you need to get one.  By all accounts, there's not going to be a QB available to them in the draft.  Maybe a FA will be available, but I doubt Darnold's going back there.  There's one viable prospect and they're going to be drafting too late to get them, unless they want to mortgage the future and send a ton of picks.

I very much could be wrong, but my take is that they are still a fairly talented roster, but with bad coaching.  They brought in a bad OC who ended up being bad.  Then they fired the HC who was making their defense good, and now they're poorly coached on both sides of the ball.  I think the plan for them probably looks like what the Vikings did.  Try to run it back in 2025 with better coaching.  Casually get rid of the guys that aren't going to be around long term, and start to figure out how to find the next QB.

Maybe their owner hates everything about this underperforming mess, and wants to burn it down and restart from zero, but there's nothing he's done that has suggested their committed to "doing it right" as his meddling is what created this mess.  Doing it right would mean handing this off to a competent individual and letting them formulate a plan.

Rodgers as a backup? No effing way. The dude is always the main character in his mind

I think the owner wants a fresh start across the board, just a hunch by their firing the GM too.  They will have to get creative at QB cause I'm not sure they'll have a chance to draft one of the few with elite grades in this draft.

I'm reading where Woody is probably going to get offered the British Amabassador spot from Trump.

He had that post in Trumps first term. Woody may turn things over to his bros to manage day to day.

oh fucking please…!  :cry:

Now rumors coming out that the owner suggested benching Rodgers earlier this year!

Typical Jets. Seriously, if the league ever considered annexing a franchise, the Jets should be towards the top of that list

Just say no.
No friggin' way.

Why spend that kind of money on a back up?

I think the word you are looking for is contracting,   or possibly  exporting?
