The AR SB win is on NFL Network right now. I must admit, at the time I thought there would be one or two more.
Nothing Murphy says or does is going to affect ar compensation now. Reports are that has already been settled. I hope it is at least a 1st rnd draft choice but now feeling it won't be anything close to that.
I think the Jets might be finding out that 12 is as competitive at the negotiating table as he is on the field. I listened to Boomer Esiason the other day say he thinks the Jets might want him to play for $35 million per year and a chance to make up money in incentives. I couldn't help but laugh.
Whatever the compensation package is the Packers apparently are fine with it. I would hope that would be their #1 and a conditional future pick. If the Jets were offering a #3 pick or less I don't think they'd be exclusively dealing with Rodgers. Compensation that low would have to interest more teams. The Niners just got three 3rd round comp picks, draft capital to burn.
I don't see Rodgers taking a pay cut and playing elsewhere. They might renegotiate the deal where it's more money up from for Rodgers and more cap space for the Jets but not an incentive laden contract.
what's the downside if GB doesn't get what they want for 12, we wait until training camp and other guys get hurt or look bad...besides missing draft capital this year?...if you can turn a 2 or 3 into a 1, do it

I don’t want the shit show and speculation that comes with Rodgers from now til September. And I’d prefer Love to have a Rodgers-free training camp.

That's something we just don't know and isn't likely until the deal is completely consummated.
No upside to Murphy running his mouth like that and he just needs to keep it shut if he can't control what comes out.
business strategy 101: when your trying to sell something, it's generally not smart to tell prospective buyers that you don't really want the item. it drives the price down.
I think it is either go to the Jets or retire at this point for AR.
I’m pretty sure one of the first things the Packers did was agree on draft compensation. That likely happened before the entourage headed to California to meet with him.
There’s no way the Jets parade around like this if that wasn’t the case.
Murphy is Murphy. Less is more but he can’t help himself.
As others have mentioned, GB is done with the drama. GB can’t afford Rodgers. No other team besides the Jets are willing to take a chance. Even the Jets are worried about Rodgers sticking around for long. Therefore, I expect (if the trade actually happens) that the compensation will seem low.
Im expecting the trade compensation to be similar to what the Favre trade was, a 4th or 3rd with escalators based on games started, making playoffs, Super Bowl appearance/Victory Etc. IOW don’t get your hopes up because I’m not. The guy is almost 40 years old for christs sake and anything more than that will be a fleecing
This guy really does have commitment problems.
From my understanding on #Jets & Aaron Rodgers: Everything that needs to be done is essentially done in regards to a trade. Sides have worked out what needs to be worked out.

So if Rodgers wants to be a Jet, he will be a Jet.
Broken record, but … just waiting on him to decide

The Jets are going to want Rodgers in their camp as soon as possible. By Sept every team will have made their cap modifications and GB will be the only place left for Rodgers.

The Jets have made up their minds on wanting Rodgers and what they'll give up as compensation. Any grandstanding Murphy does means nothing at this point.
I don't think retiring is in the cards for Rodgers, not the same year Brady does. Compensation will likely be better for Rodgers than Favre. A 38-40 year old QB is basically a game manager and Rodgers is far better at than than Favre. Rodgers will protect the ball. Regardless of all the nonsense surrounding Rodgers, The Packers would have no problem taking him back except for the contract which will eat them up in the next three seasons if they don't cut the cord now. Rodgers shot himself in the foot with that contract if he wanted to stay in GB and win. Contracts like Brady was signing at the end of his career would have allowed the Packers to keep their team together and have a better chance of winning. Rodgers said in his exit interview that the $59 million wouldn't have a bearing on his decision for the 2023 season. He should have felt that way about the money when he was negotiating that contract.
If you're asking me, no. I could have left the misspellings in if you wanted.
Game of inches

Whenever someone asks what the best throw Rodgers ever made was I always say “3rd & 10”. Yes he’s had more acrobatic plays but I don’t think this one can be topped.

Don't know that it's possibly to declare a "best" as he's had so many. I think of the rocket in the EZ to Jordy against ATL (I think) and the sideline to Cook before the winning FG against Dallas as two that immediately come to mind.
I never knew until years later that the Pittsburgh DB actually got a fingertip on that throw but it barely changed the trajectory at all and Greg Jennings made a clutch catch. If they don’t complete that pass I’m not sure they win that Super Bowl.
So if Rodgers tells the Packers he wants to stay in Green Bay and then reduces his contract to 25 million or less and bring his boys back and shows up for all off season work, are we on board? I think I am.

This is why I always say it's his best throw. Just an insane throw in the most clutch time possible. The throw to Cook was a crazier throw and also in a clutch moment, but it wasn't to win the Super Bowl.

Hell yeah!
my favorite throw by Rodgers was the one that didnt count. He was throwing into the endzone and got hammered at the exact time he released it but the play was called back for a stupid penalty.
so many other great throws. the two to Janis in Az, the one to Richard Rodgers against Detroit (the game I gave up on and went to bed) the end of the half throw to Cobb against the Giants, and the two throws to Cobb that won two different bears games. The throw I remember most was one I watched in Tampa stadium and it was his 1st year starting. he threw a dart to Jennings down the seam with two guys on him. I remember thinking when he released it, it was going to be interecpted but it was so perfect, Jennings caught it between them. It was my first wow moment of his career.

Trade Love?

It's not just the cap hit in 2023 but the following 2 years as well. The cap hits are the biggest obstacle but so would the loss of Love be. Gute will have a legacy and he drafted Love to be his QB. If Love never becomes the GB starter and plays well his legacy is probably doomed.

If we're going to delve into make believe land, just have Rodgers sign for the vet minimum with a requirement to attend OTAs, bring back all his FA buddies, trade the 1st and 2nd round pick back to the Raiders for Davante, and trade Love for Tee Higgins straight up.
We'll have finally fixed all the problems everyone's been bitching about for 3 years.
Aaron wont go to the the the Jets because its too Favre.

I would if that $25m isn't just a restructuring but a cut in pay. He's due $59.5m this year so that'd be a $34.5m pay cut. Not going to happen. But if it does, then yeah let's do it.

Unless he thinks he can do what Favre couldn't
Bet the farm that Rodgers is thinking about avoiding getting inducted into the HOF the same day Brady does far more than following Favre's path to the Jets.

Why should he take a voluntary pay cut? Are you doing the same thing? You're pretty cavalier with someone else's livelihood.
