The Jets haven’t landed Aaron Rodgers yet, but they keep adding more offensive weapons in anticipation of the trade. Wide receiver Mecole Hardman agreed to terms with the Jets on a one-year deal that could be worth as much as $6.5 million, NFL Media reported.

Yup! Getting rid of that young talent and replacing them with vets. Is their GM even earning his pay? Letting poor 12 do his job.

Hardman is only 14 months older than Christian Watson, ran the same 40 as Moore, has not requested a trade from the same Jets previously, and the Jets gained a much higher Day 2 draft pick.

Doesn't seem too bad.

It also gives them flexibility. If they can get a pick back from Green Bay, between 78 - 170, they they don't lose any picks, numbers-wise, by trading #13 for Rodgers.

Some very interesting scenarios now if I was sitting first chair  

obviously we did not want Elijah Moore.

I would be thrilled with both R2’s  And a conditional pick next year and something for 25 if ARod plays in 24

Hell in the interest of justice we take Corey Davis. He is a good blocker. And has been a team captain.  Wide receiver room could probably use a little of that leadership.  

Lose Corey as a free agent in 24 get a comp.  

Jets are after Odell( Hello from the other side) Beckham

i β€˜m guessing this all comes together in fairly short order now.

Corey Davis has a fat 2023 salary and is potentially a cut candidate per some of the reports. Fortunately, our first chair people are aware of this and won't trade assets for a WR on a bloated contract unless that WR agrees to a new, more favorable deal. Maybe that's happening in the background

First chair talent


Corey Davis OTC valuation is $5 M, his contract is $10M.
( Lazard valuation was $10.8M for reference)

A little give and take.

Aaron Rodgers on the Pat McAfee Show regarding the #Jets:

β€œThey have some weapons over there, that’s no secret. One guy who doesn’t quite get the credit he deserves, and I’ve loved watching this dude play for a while, is Corey Davis. Had some tough breaks but that guy special.”

Getting both their seconds appeals to me more than the first-rounder because it gives Gutey more opportunities to move up as needed (value is very similar anyway).

It's supposed to be the equivalent of pick 17 overall. By taking the 2's we can pick up four players in the top 50 or move up the board as desired. However, all the national talking heads would be nonstop, at least through the draft, about how the Packers caved to the Jets.

Of course the ESPN/NFL apparatus is desperate to get Rodgers in NY.  The league office is based there and ESPN might as well be based there.  

The hype and related media bonanza would be off the charts and fill the void created by no legit basketball presence (Knicks or Nets), no college presence (football or basketball), and mediocre to slightly above mediocre NFL w/the Giants.

Yes the Yankees still run that town and own the market, and the Mets are trying to buy their way into relevancy, but MLB is nothing compared to a decent Knicks team or Giants or Jets team in that corridor.  

Not to mention when you look at the Jets 2023 schedule there would be some phenomenal matchups.   Chiefs, Giants, at the Cowboys, at Vegas, Eagles, 2 against the Bills, 2 against the up and coming Dolphins, etc.  The ratings for those games would be off the charts.

You know a Thanksgiving game would be in order for the Jets and Cowboys, if Rodgers went to the Jets.

I think he’s like a lot of talented guys who don’t live up to the hype.  He has a hard time staying healthy which has stunted development a bit. I wouldn’t call him special, but I think he’d be a really good #2 WR if he stayed healthy.  

That’s the problem though.  He looked like he was emerging as a good WR in 2020 as the complement to AJ Brown but hasn’t been healthy since then.  If you can’t stay on the field, no matter how talented you are, your value is decreased.

The Jets want to upgrade their OL.  They stand a better chance of getting 1 or even 2 OL with picks 42 & 43 than they do with pick #13. 

The Packers want an impact WR, TE or rush DE.  They stand a better chance of getting that player at #13 then they do at #42 & 43. 

If the value is the same the Jets would be stupid to hang onto #13 and not get Rodgers. Why can't they see that?  Hold the line Gutey and get that #13.  And keep the # 15 too.

The Jets still have quite a bit of work to do cap-wise to absorb any Rodgers' cap hit if they are trying to lowball draft picks in a trade. As it stands, Rodgers has close to a $16mm cap hit for the Jets in a trade (absent cap absorption/restructuring).

The Jets only have a little over $10mm in cap space right now, but it goes down to about $5mm when you factor in the NFL Draft Rookie Pool resources for 2023.

FO would be crazy not to take two 2nd rounder picks in 2023 and a conditional 2024.

The two top OL in the draft, Skoronski and Johnson? could be available at #13.  May be what NYJ are hoping for if they keep that pick.

As far as Gute's success rate of RD1/RD2 picks:

Quay Walker, Davante Wyatt/Christian Watson

Eric Stokes/Josh Meyers

Jordon Love/AJ Dillon

Rashan Gary, Darnell Savage/Elgton Jenkins

Jaire Alexander/Josh Jackson

At this point it kind of looks like a push as to which round he did better in, slightly better in RD1.  But having 2 or even 3 in RD2 would certainly up the odds of finding a blue chipper.

If the Packers pick up both of the Jets' 2nd round picks that would give the Packers the 15th, 42nd, 43rd, and 45th picks...

If they can't find something with that then the FO needs to be replaced. Those 4 picks could significantly alter the coming years. Those three 2nd round picks could shave a year or more off any "rebuild" or "reload" process if they do it right.

It’s tough to say what’s better - the Jets 13th overall pick or their two 2nd rounders.

For me, I’d prefer the 13th overall pick.  It would allow GB to either package both 1s to move into the top 10 or allow them to trade back later into R1 and get more picks.

The real question is with either scenario what other draft compensation is on the table?  I would still think if you are the Packers you want conditional draft collateral in 2024 if Rodgers plays well in 2023 or if plays in 2024 something is on the table for 2025.

If the Jets cut Davis as speculated their cap problems are resolved. I think they want the Packers to take Davis as compensation to offset the Rodgers cap hit. I like the two #2s because it gives the Packers 3 picks together in round 2. The conditional pick should be in 2025 if Rodgers plays in 2024. The Jets are more likely to go for that.
