Aaron Rodgers traded to the NY Jets

@vitaflo posted:

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.

He's more likely to hold the ball for another 5 seconds to wait for 13-year veteran Randall Cobb to shake free from the safety or linebacker that is matched up against him.

I would bet that as soon as Lazard and Cobb are signed with the Jets, the trade will be announced (likely on Pat McAfee's show).

Is a portion of the Knicks or Nets for sale?

Wouldn’t Rodgers recruiting players be considered tampering since he hasn’t yet signed with NY?  Or, since Lazard and Cobb are free agents would it not be considered tampering?

It’s hard work prepping for a 8-9 season

It only benefits us, as we'll probably get comp picks in 2024 if they sign.

According to reports, it sounds like the remaining trade issues involve the Jets doing things for Aaron that the Packers have done in recent years, and are no longer willing to do.

Sounds about right to me.

McAfee said Rodgers is not scheduled to be on the show today.  They haven't talked to him at all.

Leverage, when you have it is a beautiful thing.

If you don't send me $1000 right now, I'm going to tell everybody about your deepest darkest secret(s)

Here's a sample from your closet so you know I'm serious:

IowaCheese loves musicals and Fedya-movies

You have to think Elijah Moore, Conklin, and Corey Davis aren't thrilled at the idea of Lazard, Cobb and more than likely Marcades Lewis joining this team.

Not only crowds the room with too many WR's and TE's, Rodgers BFF's are going to take playing time and stats from them. Which yes, affects their contracts and their $$$

@vitaflo posted:

They just let one walk (Jeff Smith).  So it seems like they're making room for Rodgers' buddies.  I wouldn't be surprised if Big Dog and/or Tonyan sign as well.

Who's the kicker for the Jets? His job might be in jeopardy.

I do find the new marriage of the Johnson and Johnson guy and the anti vaxxer interesting. Should be a fun ride.

There have been rumors that Corey Davis could be cut.  It saves the Jets over $10m with basically zero dead cap.

Zeurlien, and they just re-signed him.

Great advice

There sure are a lot of premature ejaculators on this site

AR, no matter who you try and bring with you to the jets....retirement is still the
best option. Lazard can not beef up enough to protect you in the pocket.
Retire a packer, and become a x4 moderator.

Elijah Moore got MLF's brother fired from the Jets.
So I'm thinking he still has hand in the J-E-T-S organization.

As far as " picking your buddies" that's pretty much how every player ever has handled it  - from pick- up games in the park all the way through the pro's

Same with NFL coaches- they always choose their buddies because they trust them and will go into battle knowing they can count on them when the sheet hits the fan.

I was mostly kidding. Mason is a family guy. I'd think he either remains a Packer or retires. But I'd be surprised if they didn't add Bobby T or Big Dog to the package.

Well, speaking of Big Dog...

Packers’ veteran free-agent TE Marcedes Lewis, who spent the past five seasons in Green Bay, has drawn interest from, amongst others, the New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders, per league sources

I think the real question is....whatever happened to Fond of Dudes Arrigo.  Can he be traded to the jets also

Fond Du Arrigo

He was traded to PackerChatters for half a ham sammich and a promise not to darken our door again. Seems like we got good value on that deal

Aaron Rodgers has provided the NY Jets with a wish-list of free agents he would like them to target and acquire, per sources.
It includes Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard, Marcedes Lewis and….Odell Beckham Jr.

— Dianna Russini (@diannaESPN) March 14, 2023

Not really a surprise.

So whom got to eat the sammich?

I fully expect Rodgers to also acquire the title of Co-General Manager.

Boris would have, but he was out of Grey Poupon.

If the Jets are willing to jump through all these hoops the compensation may be better than I expected.

Any chance he requests that Murph comes along ?

We’ll take Garrett Wilson and let the Jets have Rodgers, Lazard, Cobb & Lewis.

They do have a need for a good snow hill and a village idiot who can’t shut his trap.

Co? Sole GM, more like.

It looks like the Jets haven't learned anything from the Packers FO mistakes.

Pat McAfee is going to be punting for the jets next year.

It is somewhat refreshing to think about. Outside of Bakh, who is actually still a legit LT, we're basically going to move on from all of AR and all his cronies.  Really feels like we'll have a totally new identity next year.

You mean this team game of football instead of the reality show soap opera?

Sign me up!

"A guy like Marcedes Lewis, he's an important cog in the wheel of the locker room and the momentum of the team," Rodgers said during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" in January. "That's a guy I want to finish my career with. If I'm playing, I want that guy next to me.

"I want the Randall Cobbs of the world -- if he wants to keep playing -- in my locker room. Guys you can win it with. Allen Lazard, Bobby Tonyan, David Bakhtiari.

So if the above named guys are guys you can win with, why didn't Rodgers win with them?  I guess it is all on him.

AR12 and his ego will blow this thing up.
