[Jockey]

Thanks for the update, Herman. I hadn't heard about this shocking turn of events.

[PointWarrior]

Please just let us be free of Rodgers at last...

[Spotcheck Billy]

Done deal.
He gowne.

[rocket surgeon]

yes BUT they haven't agreed to compensation

[Herman Cain]

More detail on Rodgers desire to move on. When he came out of darkness he found out Packers didn't want him any more and now has a chip on the shoulder 

Hope the Packers can extract as much as possible from Jets

I don't mean to belabor the point, but it is just such a tremendous galaxy brain self-own to say "I am so focused on understanding myself and reaching a higher level of consciousness that I deprived myself of all light for days, and that introspection lead me to make a major life choice with a very high (90%) level of certainty.  But then I came out and heard someone said a mean thing about me, so I scrapped all that and decided to do the other thing out of spite."

I think they are waiting on Rodgers decision. His demands in terms of who the Jets sign are an example of this. He will stick it to everyone if he doesn't get what he wants.

He is playing chicken with both teams right now.

The Jets don't want him, if he isn't going to play for them (e.g. retire). He is making demands on what he needs in order to want to play for the Jets. The Packers can't do anything until Rodgers agrees to continue playing for another team.

I guarantee you the terms of a deal are already worked out, now the question is what will Rodgers do.

Well, it appears I was wrong, and they are just waiting on agreed terms.

I wonder though if part of the problem is that the Jets don't want to pay that salary, and either want a contract renegotiation, or the Pack to pay a significant part of the salary.

Rogers I'm sure is unwilling to take less, and unless the Pack is getting a good deal draft capital wise, I don't see why they would eat the cash.

[The Sultan]

The Packers have no incentive to make a quick deal that they view as bad.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Discussed on NY sports radio.  Deal probably won't "officially" happen until June 1.  After that date the Packers cap hit will only be $15mil instead of $40mil.

[Dish]

If I'm the Jets, I hold out as long as possible. A 2023 draft pick is of more value than a 2024 pick (if trading Rodgers to an ascending team). I'd definitely hold out until after this year's draft to make any deal.

Ultimate hard deadline is on Green Bay. I'd play poker with them up until that roster bonus needs to be picked up (which would be catastrophic on the Packers cap). Even if it's a week before the season, if I'm the Jets, so what? Rodgers isn't participating in OTA's anyway, Hackett's in the building so he has a good idea on the playbook already, Rodgers isn't going to take any preseason game snaps.

Both teams probably should just come to a conditional agreement if they want a deal done sooner, but neither side should be motivated to do something until after June 1st.

White people love yelling Kuuuuuuhn at their radios

This morning...
Kuhn: "The Jets are absolutely contenders in the AFC, they are the clear 3rd best team in the AFC with Aaron.  They aren't quite to the Bills yet, but they aren't that far off now...

Butch: "Are you kidding me? The Jets were the worst team in their division. I don't even think they are better than Miami with just Rodgers"

Kuhn: "he will change the whole locker room, not just the offense but the defense too."

Really hope he hears that John, hope he sends you an edible arrangement.   Just insane pick me behavior

[cheebs09]

Man, we could have won a few more Super Bowls if Rodgers had that much impact on the defense.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Feel bad for Jets fans

Vikings fans pumped for their shot at AR in '24

Packers and Jets not seeing eye to eye on Rodgers value

He'll change the whole locker room like J&J changes your DNA

Packers stare down with Jets. Hopefully Packers can get what they want.

[MUBurrow]

So if this drags on awhile and the Jets don't don't want to pay top draft compensation, does Rodgers start to perceive that as disrespect too?

Just Gutey being a terrible person for not giving Rodgers what he wants after he gave so much to the Packers. At least that would be the theme of the next McAfee show.

Isn't great to have a QB work to get himself and his teammates better instead of spending the off-season dating witches and drinking cow urine?
