Hey jets how much do you want to offer me, is it about 60 million, you know I'm doing what Favre did. Must be a GB QB thing, leave GB and go to NYJ

 

[Risen Star]

Oh how I wish there was some way we could do this. Instant contender.

I don't mean talk to the Jets. Though that'd be nice.

I was just about to say, I think "we" are allowed to talk to the Jets

Nice…AFC East gonna be fun next season.

Raiders may go all in and make it a bidding war.

AR reunited with his former WR?

 

[Zordon]

NFC keeps getting weaker. When will we pounce?

My guess is in this case Aaron is in the driver’s seat as to where he goes. Even with Adams in LV, that team is a dumpster fire. Jets are a QB away from maybe winning that division over Buffalo

This whole Rodgers saga is getting old. Way to much TV time.

Doesn't help that he is my #1 most hated guy now that TB12 is gone.

MM won't like it and JJ loves Dak

Never, unfortunately.

 

[rambo2]

If he likes dark places, the Jets are a good place to go. Namath will say I just want to kiss you.

 

[FanofJerry]

Genuine question...

What condition is the the Jets O-Line in? WR unit?

 

[jwitten82]

I'm surprised the 49ers aren't interested

It's not easy to plop a $60M slot into your salary cap. The 49ers are currently structured to win with a cheap QB (originally Lance, now maybe Purdy if he can get healthy).

Clearly Rodgers makes them a dominant super bowl contender, but only if they didn't have to get rid of several players to account for his massive cap hit.

Most of the cap hit is covered by GB. Looks like a straight up trade before June 1st with no reworking the deal will be a 16m$ cap hit this year for the new team and 18m$ next year.

The issue is if he retires after 2024 then 2025 will have a decent pile of dead money, but no one trading for him now is worried about 3 years from now.

So is this why the jets never bothered to consider Carr?

Was just thinking the same. They were hot for Carr and then he didn’t even bother to get NO and NYJ into a bidding war… maybe because NYJ got the Rodgers confirmation and bailed

“New Orleans was the best fit!” That was an odd statement that is maybe clearer now
