If the Jets are going this hard after Rodgers they will certainly try to make him happy with an addition or two. He's a hall of fame QB with better GM credentials than the crackpot we have running this team.

yet here they are praising Aaron Rodgers for demanding better weapons.
In fairness, he asked the Packers to do stuff for years. They ignored him and wasted his career. He learned that the only way to ensure that they at least try to do what you ask is while you hold all the cards. That's learning from your mistakes and correcting them.

Besides, he knows he's winding down his career so if you're going to change teams you might as well do everything in your power to stack the deck to be successful.

Jet players are going to be valued fantasy picks this year boys!!

The request that doesn't make sense to me is Marcedes Lewis. He is 38 years old. He may bring stuff to a team that doesn't show up on the field, but what he does bring to the field is very little.

The worst Jets WR is Corey Davis, who I would rather have over any of the WR's Rodgers mentions. Good timing on Rodgers part as he waited until all the best FA Qbs were signed, today with the Raiders signing Jimmy G.

The Jet's should give up the 2 1st round picks and sign Lamar J. and have their QB for the next 10 years since they are too good an overall team to be within striking distance of an elite QB through the draft,

Screw Lamar. His days are numbered and not worth the money. Any team that gets him would have to change their entire scheme and personnel to fit his strength. Which is not passing.

Actually, Lamar's numbers given his offensive coordinator and lack of talent around him are not that bad. Plus I am factoring the Jet's inability to draft a great to elite QB in the near future given their history and projected draft status. Lamar gives them a long term solution.

Lamar wants like 50 million for 5 years all guaranteed. HE had ONE great year throwing the ball and that was like 3 or 4 years ago. He will get injured badly soon.

I would never pay him that or trade for him.

I would go Rodgers personally, but maybe not for all those draft picks.

There is truth to Lamar’s effectiveness but his running style at the Qb position warrants me from ever considering giving him too much guaranteed money……it’s only a reliability and issue

I get it with the injury concerns on Lamar.

Well, we will most likely see how Rodgers plays out in NY. He is a definite upgrade for them.
