It will be inevitable that if 12 leaves the gb locker room will be the ones with a giant chip on their shoulders not 12- that can be dangerous for other nfl teamsβ¦oh boy

What's the motive of posting fake news?
You all know that's a snark post, right? That's the living room from American Pyscho.
Just a thought: What are the chances Rodgers would want LT David Bakhtiari to be part of the #Packers deal to the #Jets? It's curious his deal hasn't been reworked when all the others have been done for a while. It would shave $5M off GB's cap if he were traded before the 17th.
β Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) March 8, 2023
#Jets would have to take on Rodgers' $15.8M plus Bakhtiari's $17.2M, but there is almost $15M of Bakhtiari's deal the Jets could convert to a signing bonus to drastically lower the cap number. The Cobb deal two years ago made me wonder if this was a possibility. https://t.co/0a7wCFFJrz

He wouldn't buy on the UWS anyway. AR is more of a Williamsburg kinda guy.
Do we know Gutekunst is the one who gave him the contract? Don't forget there are three silos and a president who makes all the final decisions. https://t.co/CLGrzcYAOx

An Important point from Silverstein and hopefully one day we'll know the truth about the horrible contract that tied the hands of the organization.
Actual footage of the Jets and ARod on the private jet...
From Football Outsiders
Since becoming the Packers full-time starter in 2008, Aaron Rodgers' offense has finished outside the top 11 in DVOA just once. (In 2017, when he played just 7 games). The New York Jets offense has not finished in the top 11 since 2004
Silverstein FTW invoking "the silos"
One thing we haven't considered in AR to NYJ is the astrological aspects of such a move. What does his astrologer Debra Silverman have to say?

So Tommy's job for decades has been to cover the Packers and as of March 8, 2023, he declares he possesses as much information about who made the decision to bestow a new contract on Rodgers last offseason as the guys sitting in their basements throughout the state of Wisconsin. Crack reporter that spoon.
And, presumably, none of Tommy's close group of cronies who "cover" the team have a clue either ... or at least they aren't saying to protect the guilty.
What could possibly be so difficult about asking (A) Murph or (B) Gute or (C) both Murph and Gute if they approved of/signed off on the Rodgers' K extension?
I mean, other than maybe making their sourc ... err I mean the subjects they are supposedly covering squirm a bit, how is it not journalistic malpractice to not have uncovered which individuals within the Packer organization signed off on that ridiculous extension?
good journalists develop sources and conduct investigative research. that doesnβt happen at the Milwaukee journal sports page anymore

To be fair, newspapers have been gutted by the internet and are also suffering from disparagement by those folks who say not to believe a word they print or that they are totally slanted. The money to send reporters on investigative jaunts just isn't there. You can't tie up a reporter for a week (or longer in some cases) or pay them in search of a single story when you could get seven shorter, daily ones from them instead to fill out the news. The model has always been to beat the other guys with a scoop but with the internet today that takes on an entirely different urgency. If you want to bring back good, old-fashioned, hard-hitting, investigative reporting, subscribe to the daily paper and encourage others to do the same.

totally agree. it's a different world. gannett has ruined not only the MJS but also many other papers.

In public they're both going to give the same answer and nobody is going to point a finger at anybody. But you know Murphy has the final say.
This sounds close to accurate. I could also see swapping 1st's. I think Packer fans hoping for a 1st and a 2nd (which seems like everyone online) are gonna be really disappointed.
While we're on Rodgers Watch ... a prediction: IF trade happens, I say #Jets give up 2023 2nd rounder + conditional 2024 3rd rounder (can improve based on indiv/team performance). Don't see them trading '23 1st rounder (13th). Comp could be tied to how much contract they take on
β Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) March 8, 2023
Lol. There is no way the Packers will be OK with a 2nd and 3rd rounder regardless of compensation. Have any of these people like Rich Cimini actually been through high stakes negotiations? My guess is they have not. So his opinion means nothing.
GBP have the leverage. The Jets are desperate and have no Plan B. Even worse they showed their hand publicly with the visit. Their recent QB picks (some much more valuable than Iβve proposed) havenβt amounted to jack shit. Moreover, their HC and GM are on the hot seat. You think Woody Johnson cares about a 1 and a 2?
As a result, the Packers need to hold the line. Itβs a minimum of the Jets 1 this year and probably their 1 next year but the Packers would probably accept their 2nd rounder in 2024 or some conditional pick depending on performance.
I'd be very unhappy if the Packers can't get a #1 pick for Rodgers after what they passed on last season. Heads should roll over that fiasco no matter how this off season plays out.
You guys are delusional. We're not getting a 1st. The market for a 40 year old QB who will probably only play one year is not high. Doesn't matter who it is.
Did we forget we got a 4th for Favre who was younger than Rodgers is now?
If the jets arenβt willing to give up a first, then go to the dolphins, right?
If the Jets refuse to give up a first trade him to the Pats for a future 7th rounder. Fuck the Jets!
Rodgers isnβt Favre. Not even close.
Heβs still a very good player that will be motivated to prove everyone wrong. As long as he commits to 2 years, heβs absolutely worth their 1 this year and conditional pick or picks in 2024.
If the Jets come back with some bullshit offer heads will roll. Starting with their GM. Their only priority right now is landing Rodgers. If they fuck this up over a 1 and 2 or 3 Woody Johnson may fire them all.
If they can get a better deal from a NFC team go for it. Please.
At least a one is the expectation.
Maybe switch spots in 1st round. Take jets 2nd and 3rd this year And 2nd next year that can turn into a one based on performance.
Get rid of as much of the contract you can

Screw you and your logic. Fantasy rules!π
The market is a lot different than it was 15 years ago. Wilson and Stafford changed that. I'm sure the Packers already named their price and Woody flew to CA knowing that. I see the #1 pick this year and then a couple conditional picks next season, somewhere between 2-4 round, if Rodgers plays 2024 which he is under contract to do.
The Favre deal is not a comp. Without rehashing the whole saga, he put GB in a real awkward position at a bad time and TT had to get rid of him any way he could.
The best part of that deal was not the 4th rounder, it was the fact 4 was gone and 12 was now in charge without distraction.

Favre was traded after an NFCCG that went to OT. Rodgers didnβt even make the playoffs.
So I guess youβre right itβs not close.
Are you really going to use that game ad an indicator of Favre's value?
Not to mention he just tearfully retired. Then unretired. Doesn't really sell a team that he has a burning desire to work hard.
