Wilde had some interesting comments about 12, Love, and MLF on Scalzo and Brust today. Get the sense he usually knows more than he says. He's well connected with everyone.

FWIW....Wilde has 12's cell number.
And a close relationship with Gutey since well before he was GM (though somewhat strained since) . Of anyone he knows all sides of this. I think he knows things about 12 that Gutey doesn't and things about Gutey that 12 doesn't. It's fascinating trying to infer what he isn't saying. It's not fact, but his impressions and intuitions are carefully crafted from conversations with people we'd all like to bounce ideas off of.
Wilde's weekly Aaron Rodgers show was trash. I've taken dumps with more charisma than Wilde. Surely Rodgers changed his phone number after getting rid of that show.
Wilde's default position has typically been that when the Packers move on from an established veteran to a younger player that it's a mistake. Everyone understands that Love may not pan out but it's still the right move to make and I suspect the team's belief in Love is based on a bit more than his play in Philly.
Wilde tends to be a contrarian. He definitely enjoys an I told you so. Like anyone else 66% more exuberant about the 33% he got right. 
Late Mon night Aaron tweeted:
SULLLLLL.🤣🤣
One Twitter user guessed it was ref to Capt. "Sully" Sullenberger who safely landed his JET on the Hudson River.
Another said it was the ayahuasca talking. Lol
Wait, is it a shout out to Rasul Douglas for responding to Gary Ellerson’s Twitter query? AR did like the tweet.

Man, these guys are humping air at this point. There's so many stories to create, I don't know how they are able to contain themselves!
Lamar Jackson/Baltimore
Tua/Miami (Double bonus for the concussion damage/risks opinions)
Kyler Murray/AZ
There's more I can't recall at the moment, perhaps not as controversial as the above may be, but the opportunities to create reports is still present.
Plus, there is still internal strife in the League.
Ol' Rog and Washington/Snydergate
Gruden vs NFL
Job security.

If what he says in that clip is true, it really doesn't put this Packer regime in a very good light and doesn't say much about MLF. This would reinforce what I personally think of MLF in that the guy doesn't have much say or pull within many of the decisions going on. I would THINK that would make it hard for him to have the respect then of the players as well.
Don't the Packers have to have Rodgers off the books by noon Wednesday or they have to pay him a boatload of cash and his salary counts against the cap?
The Jets, with a load of talent at WR, aren't doing this unless Rodgers is on that team.
Jets are actively working to reach an agreement with Packers’ free-agent WR Allen Lazard, per league sources. There is another team involved, and no final decision, but the Jets are trying to reunite Lazard and OC Nathaniel Hackett. pic.twitter.com/rkzX17o5do

Yeah, nobody believes it's for a reunion with Hackett.
I wonder why Sheff didn't double down and just say it's in an effort to reunite him with AR. More clicks.

Wasn't he one of the ghostbusters villains?
Adding Lazard to your roster makes zero sense unless Rodgers is the QB.

Rasul literally has Rodgers' phone. If you follow his Twitter that was the big hubub yesterday. Rodgers gave it to him before his darkness retreat.
Meyers just signed for 3 years 33Mil. He was an interesting prospect but not sure what the market is for Lazard, probably similar ballpark?
Lazard is smart, Meyers is a meathead. His play at the Raiders proved that last year.
Gee, wonder why..
The #Jets aren't tendering RFA WR Jeff Smith, per source. Speedy fourth-year receiver (and onetime Boston College QB) has 34 career catches and now can sign with any team.

The new GM said not interested.
NFLN’s @MikeGarafolo says Rodgers deal isn’t done yet but there’s momentum and Jets and Rodgers did talk within last 24 hours. @RapSheet says Allen Lazard working on deal with Jets. “All Jets for Allen Lazard.” Also says Randall Cobb to Jets is likely if Rodgers lands there.

@MikeTanier: oh god oh god he's making the Jets sign all his binkies first
Aaron Rodgers is now an RPG character. "I shall only join you if you prove your worthiness by embarking on a dozen side quests to fetch my favorite magical items."

Nepotism at its finest. Funny how everyone wanted a WR here when these are the only guys he really wants to play with. I can't wait for him to ignore a wide open Garret Wilson and instead throw it to Lazard on 3rd down only to drop it.
With Green Bay ready to move on and the Jets having no real Plan B, the Packers and Jets may be caught in a "game of chicken" over Aaron Rodgers. https://t.co/KvktyT9WdD

seems to make the most sense at this point
Leverage, when you have it is a beautiful thing.
Lazard and Cobb are going to get extra $ thanks to A.
I wonder how many WR's the Jets will carry on their roster?

Ask the new owner
If you’re a starting TE for the Jets, you may want to find a hobby to do while you are at the game. Because I can only assume not only is Big Dawg Lewis signed, AR will demand he is the starting guy.
The amount of 🍑 kissing the Jets are having to do to get Rodgers is amazing to watch. I also wait for his golf cart to be shipped on the Jets tab as well..
