Random Football News: 2023

The good news for the Jets is that these deals won't be official until Rodgers signs on the dotted line. If he retires or goes back to GB, the contracts get torn up.
The bad news for the Jets is they've allowed themselves to be backed into a corner with only Matt Ryan, Minshew and Mayfield on the market to bail them out if Rodgers doesn't sign.
Woody Johnson and the Jets FO already look like fools for climbing so far out on this limb. The Jets have utterly and completely embarrassed themselves in full public view but it's too late to back it up now.

Rodgers has made this a circus and the Jets are his clowns. I don't see this ending well whether he joins the NYJ or not.

The Pat McAfee show isn't the place for Rodgers to announce he's joining the Jets. That shows disrespect to the Jets organization and their fans. Where's the integrity.
That should be announced at a press conference in their stadium. Same for GB if he intends to go back.

The only thing Rodgers should announce on McAfee is his retirement and even that should rightfully be done at a presser in GB.

The NFL can be a circus and Rodgers is the clown these days.
 
Bucs have signed Mayfield :rofl:

Another QB the Jets could have signed but decided to go all in hostage to ARodgers. Menshew is left, though.

The Jets are all in this year if they get Rodgers and his entourage.

Yeah, we're T-minus 15 minutes from his announcement on McAfee's show now?

That would be a slap in the face to the Jets, the Jets fans and the NY media. Any announcement that he's joining the Jets should be in an appropriate presser from their stadium.
 
Rodgers just said on McAfee that today is not decision day. :coffee:

He made his decision last Friday and conveyed to the Jets that he wanted to play for the Jets if the teams can work out the trade.

The Jets are totally out leveraged on this Rodgers deal. The huge option bonus due to A-a ron doesn't need to be exercised until almost week 1, so the Packers are perfectly happy to wait until the draft, or longer. The Jets could end up totally left in the lurch on this, even if Rodgers does join them.

Alternatively, they're going to have to pay up whatever the Packers decide is fair. Especially now that they just gave a big contract to Lazard, with other Friends Of Aaron lining up with their hands out.

Out. Leveraged.

Timing terms in contracts are so easy to overlook in negotiations, and so critical.
