They didn't pass. They inquired about acquiring Rodgers but Gutey didn't want him on an NFC team. He wanted Rodgers in Denver or AFC which is why he went to the Jets
I thought they inquired 3 years ago when AR threw the fit before the draft. Then they were 'rumored' to be in the hunt two years ago but didn't really make any serious noise about it.
@DH13 posted:The bottom line problem with AR is that he wants to run an offense a particular way that has shown to be...unsuccessful...the last 3? years he's tried to run it. So I doubt any organization that is good enough to assemble a team that is only a QB short would be willing to bring AR in and have him demand he run his choice of offense. SF had a shot to get AR two years ago and they passed. Doubt they'd have more interest now unless they were desperate.
He's tried to run this offense his way for about five years, and it's been unsuccessful. The only reason it was successful his last years in GB was because he had Adams and a better OL. If GB had what the Jets have, it wouldn't have been successful then either. It's more like Rodgers' last year in GB was the last hurrah of his offense, and that's when he was a better player than he is now. The offense he's running hasn't evolved -- it's still built around him and one WR, with hopefully a decent RB. Plus, he's just not the same player he was before to compensate for the shortcomings.

My recollection is Rat Face hit up LaFluer about the status of Rodgers. LaFluer told Rat Face to fuck off (paraphrasing) and it impacted their friendship for a while.
What could go wrong
@TomSilverstein: Former #Packers K Anders Carlson is expected to kick for the #Jets Sunday. He was acquired by GB with a pick it received as part of the deal that sent Aaron Rodgers to the #Jets. Now he and Rodgers are teammates.
Rodgers reportedly told Anders, "Hey, you're not going to be kicking extra points much this year."

Right down the middle baby!!

Man this Rodgers trade just continues to screw the Jets. Gute playing the long con.
@lovepack posted:Left is best.
Works in Minny
When Aaron was a Packer in his whole career he only had 1 kicker, Mason Crosby. This season with the Jets he will have his 4th kicker in 4 weeks.
Technically he had 3 for his career in GB. Add in 1 year of Longwell and 1 of Dave Rayner.
Some of the older names that come up when you think of Rodgers today is crazy. Really, that guy was still on the team?
The #Jets have had five offensive possessions today without recording a first down. Aaron Rodgers is 5/8 for 10 yards.

AR’s offense was figured out by opposing defenses several seasons ago. His last two MVP seasons happened in part because he decided to listen to MLF.
Yep, 2020 and 2021 were some kind of MLF/Hero Ball hybrid. More MLF in 2020 and it really showed.
How many years till we trade them Love?
Forgot to post this earlier in the week. Aaron Rodgers, the man who slams "misinformation" and admits he's not a scientist, but "can read", when claiming he knew more about vaccines than Dr Fauci, went on McAfee and gave false information.....this reveals what a fool he has become!

He researched the shit out of that bogus Fauci stuff.

Rest in Pieces! Hilarious. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy or lame franchise.
Saleh is probably laughing his ass off at the moment. Yes he’s a bit of a meathead, but the Jets are a complete disaster from the owner all the way down to the water boy.
Yeah let's fire the guy that was holding the defense together.....the 1 part of the team that was championship level
Rodgers' Jets lost to the Colts, whom the Packers beat with Malik Willis at QB.

Woody’s clown show
@AdamSchefter:
More change in New York: Jets now have fired GM Joe Douglas, sources tell ESPN.
Last month, head coach Robert Saleh. Now, Douglas.
It’s a complete reboot for the Jets.
Why did it take so long, there is no need in any organizations for 2 GM’s

Does that mean GB won't be able to trade JL to the Jets in 14 years (or so)? Our GM will need extra draft picks from somewhere ........
What a mess. Not waiting until the end of the year to clean house is a nice message to send, but you might as well play only backups who need a job now.

Well, they do have that nagging problem of a 49 million dollar dead cap hit next year if they move on from Rodgers, so it's not a complete reboot. Either he's still there and costing them 23 million in cap space or they move on which costs them 49 million in cap space.
D. Adams will be 33 years old in 2025 and have a 38 million dollar cap hit or they release him and have 8 million in dead cap.
Allan Lazard has a 13 million dollar cap charge in 2025 with a 6.5 million dollar dead cap charge.
DJ Mosley will be 33, has been hurt most of this year, and has a 13 million cap hit and a 16 million dollar dead cap next year.
They also will be missing 3rd round picks both of the next two years for the D. Adams trade and the Haason Reddick trades (who did finally report but will leave as a free agent after the year).
So, just to move on from Rodgers and his WR buddies (Adams/Lazard) would cost them 63 million. A rebuild would want to jettison Mosley as well, so you are looking at almost 80 million. They would have to find a QB, but any rookie is going to get killed behind that offensive line.
It's probably bring back AR next year and tough it out to reset in 2026, but who is going to want to be the sacrificial lamb to be the GM and head coach in 2025?
Belichick? I assume they’re screwed short term because of the salary cap and maybe Belichick is too old to want to coach a team that will likely take at least a couple years to straighten out the mess that the Jets have gotten themselves into.
I can’t think of any other coach who AR might respect enough to listen to though.
Or maybe Belichick would tell Woody that they’re dumping AR and his buddies and starting over.
Woody will probably be awarded a position in the new administration and he may want to get a new GM and coach in place before his new duties consume his time.
Some blowback on Rodgers Mike Williams comments

Bill has made it clear that he’ll never coach the Jets. Too much history there.

He's going to have to compete with Hulk Hogan for the position.
