Hindsight says Gute should have pulled the trigger on trading AR to Denver and I don’t know who made the final decision on not doing so….but there’s no way that I could fault a GM for NOT trading his QB after back to back MVP seasons.

MT Finessing a billionaire. Already knows who he'll recommend, from here it's about building a story around it so the owner has something to impress his friends with on his ski trip. Nice work if you can get it. 
Isn't Woody just going to make his son the GM?
Jesus. Dude can't even have a beer in the owner's box.
I've been trying to figure out where these "leaks" are coming from inside the Jets org. I just can't quite put my finger on it....but I know I'm getting close. I'll find the leak for A-Rodg!🫡
It's not Adams. He doesn't talk to Rodgers these days for getting him into this mess. 
@Boris posted:Isn't Woody just going to make his son the GM?
He's in college, so he's more than 17. It looks like he's a freshman at Harvard, so he's probably born in 2006.
He's also a guy probably going to Harvard because of some donation that's never had to work a day in his life. That would make him the 4th generation in a row where that's happened (his great-great grandfather made the money).

Johnson divorced his first wife in 2001 and married his second wife in 2009, so it's not clear who this kid's mother is either. He's probably the result of some mistress that Woody has hidden somewhere

It looks like he's 18. BFD...he is going to get destroyed by real GMs in the NFL if Woody allows him to be an actual GM or make decisions.
Suzanne Ircha and Woody Johnson’s relationship began in 2004 when they met at a Michael Milken conference in Beverly Hills.
Despite a significant age difference, the two connected immediately.
Their first date took place two days later at a restaurant in SoHo, New York City.
After five years of dating, they married on June 4, 2009, in an intimate ceremony at the Brick Presbyterian Church in New York City.
They had their first child, Robert, on March 24, 2006, and their second, Jack, on October 13, 2008.
Looks like Suzanne is his mother.
He got a new Aaron Rodgers action figure last year so he's playing fantasy football.
Has he learned to do a spreadsheet yet? Probably not. At Harvard you learn how to sue people who make spreadsheets.
Watching Hags vs #12......wow. Could have been a fun game for the Jets....nice outfits.....lotsa positive energy. Then they lost their season, for the what??? 9 the year in a row?? Oh my. Couldn’t happen to a nicer QB. And I do kinda feel bad for him.....he did get the Packers a Super Bowl, and he didn’t go to an NFC opponent......just he’s nuts.
Hags @Jets: Anders with a missed PAT, Rodgers with a pick 6 and Devante with a Taco Bell TD and 66yds.

@NFLOfficiating - y'all Fucking suck!
The Jets have a really good shot at the #1 overall pick. It’s very possible they lose 4 of their last 5 games. If they go 4-13 they are certainly in the mix.
That would be a reason to bench Rodgers. Just like the Colts did the "Suck for Luck!"
I think the Jags will get the #1 pick. They may bench Fabio for the rest of the season. Anybody think Mac Jones will win any games? How about C J Beathardt? Maybe they will grab Daniel Jones off the Vikings practice squad.
I think he turned 41 on 12.2.24. Father time waits for no one, IOW his time may be over.
Please, please let the Vikings sign him for next year if the Jets cut him.
Gerald McCoy on NFL Network said it best on Sunday.
He needs to go somewhere, where the coaching transcends him. Not how he transcends the coaching like the Jets.
McCoy suggested the Steelers which would make a ton of sense, because Tomlin won't take any shit from him.
The big question is, will Rodgers humble himself enough to allow that to happen. If not, he's probably done in the NFL even though he can still play.
Does it take three years to evaluate a trade like the draft, or can we start judging now?

Also this part from his McAfee interview today (seems directly in opposition with his attacks on Gutekunst)
He was supposed to be the missing piece of the puzzle for the Jets and that didn’t work. Maybe he’s angling to be the Lions savior next season.
Unfortunately, Goff is a better QB nowadays. 😬
Give Rodgers an OL and he becomes Aaron Rodgers again.

Some guys just don't know when to stop digging.
Somebody else mentioned Rodgers going into politics, and I can see him wanting to remain relevant if he has any ideas of doing that. But at this point, he's become a punching bag for how to let hubris ruin a legacy that took almost two decades to build.
Well I can say with no doubt in my mind that in 2024 he is clearly qualified for any political position in the US. Name your assignment, it's yours bud. Just float some $$$ my way and you are in!

I'll think he'll either start his own podcast or get paid to be an even more frequent recurring guest on McAfee. He really wants to be Joe Rogan now that he is never getting near a Jeopardy-like gig again

Everyone gets as much respect as they deserve around here.
I'd be shocked if Rodgers was in the league next season. Obviously he won't be a back up so someone has to make him the starter. Jets are clearly done with him so they're out. Only other teams that have little to nothing at QB next year are the Titans, Giants, Raiders, and Browns. Giants and Raiders are picking 1 and 2 as of now and they'll probably take a QB. Titans have a top 10 pick and Will Levis is actually starting to look like a capable QB in the last month. Browns are a mess so impossible to tell what they'll do but bringing Rodgers into the Watson situation seems like a terrible idea (and I think Jameis is a better option than Rodgers b/c his teammates actually like him).
I just don't see a spot for him in the league next season. And if he's not in the league, does anyone really care what he has to say? He may fade away quicker than we think.
I just don't see the Jets as being "done with him" that's a gigantic cap hit in 2025.....but weirder things have happened.
If the Jets are "done with him" then why are they letting him stay in a starting role the rest of this season?? Doesn't make any sense.
If a crap team is smart they’d sign 12 to a one year contract and draft a QB high. The kid will have 1 year to learn from a HOF player instead of being thrown to the wolves where so many fail.
I don’t see AR wanting anything to do with a crap team unless he thinks that team is a QB away from contending….like Jets were supposed to be.
Yeah, it will be the Vikings or Niners or another team he feels is "worthy" of him.
Good luck finding another sucker.

They can push the cap hit to 2026 if they mark him as a post-June cut/trade. That saves them $10m in 2025. By then they would have a rookie QB so they could eat the dead cap.
Still makes more sense to keep him for 2025 tho and let him play out his deal. His cap hit next year is only $23m. It's really not that bad.
In many ways both the Jets and Rodgers have LEVERAGE in this situation as to what they want to do. So I would expect drama to ensue as per usual with Rodgers.
It seems hard to believe any team would want the Rodgers circus coming to town after how this year finished up. Yes Rodgers still has a really terrific arm. But he was always a guy that needed to be mobile to be at his best and that mobility has really declined.
The other thing that looks obvious when I’ve watched him, he gets panicky when he’s under consistent duress. As a younger guy he almost never played that way as he believed his pocket quickness and quick release could allow him to release the ball and protect himself. He no longer believes he can protect himself and it causes him to hurry more throws than he really needs to.
Who knows, maybe there’s some sucker team that thinks they can fix him but I don’t think he’s capable of ever being an above average NFL starter again.
IOW past performance is no guarantee of future performance. I truly believe his days as an elite player are over.

As is the case for every QB over 40 in the history of the NFL except for Brady. He's like any old washed up player. He's just a name now.
Yep, he's hoping to cash in on more big money once more before he rides into the sunset of obscurity. Oh, he'll get his name in the news somehow after his career is over, but this Jets experiment is tarnishing his legacy.
Rodgers should cut his losses and retire. The writing was on the wall his last season in GB, and it's gone downhill since then.
As we are so fond of quoting, "Father Time is undefeated." Unfortunately, so are some players' egos undefeated.

Warren Moon made a Pro Bowl at 41.
Rodgers could still be successful as a game manager, but that doesn't fit his ego.

They have a lot of pieces of a good defense (assuming some of the DBs get healthy again), but they are really mainly missing an above average pass rusher.

True....some of the guys have had spots where they dominated (Wyatt, Enagbare earlier this year....Kenny Clark against the Dolphins and Lions).....Not seeing the consistent pressure like from the high sack numbers guys across the league.
They've faced some pretty good O-Lines too....let's not forget the other guys get paid as well.
Nobody said it would be easy.....still got some football left to prove it

Definitely need pass rushers and it feels like a CB or two as well. I'm not sure Eric Wilson or McDuffie should be starting either. I think Hafley is doing a good job with what he has to work with but a few pieces are still missing.
At least a few. Linebackers who can cover, edge rushers who can win at the snap, secondary depth.

McDuffie is a conundrum....he brings an aggressiveness to the run defense that none of our other LBs can supply, but is a liability in coverage.
Get constant pressure on the QB and a lot of the other stuff will be fixed as well.

That's why they are paying Gary and drafted Gary and Van Ness in the top half of the first round. They don't have to be Reggie White or TJ Watt, but they have to do more than the next to nothing they've provided so far this year.
