The Jets have to be freaking out. Carr is gone. Jimmy G is gone. And still, Rodgers hasn't said if he is retiring or willing to go to the Jets.

Gotta say, I'm amazed Green Bay was finally able to get rid of him.

I think it got to a point where all the drama was just too much for the Pack.

Well, now there is this....

An unemployed Trey Wingo getting the scoop was kind of out of left field. Rodgers can continue to milk the attention.

I almost did not post the tweet from Wingo because he seemed like an unlikely source. Sorry about that. And yeah, Rodgers loves the attention.

All's good. It will probably happen anyway. Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson are tweeting about it like they know it's going to happen.

From what I've read, the deal is done, it's up to Rodgers to decide if he's retiring or moving. I'd bet he's moving.

Starting to believe Dov Kleiman is not even a real person.

Since Rodgers is Rodgers, I thought he might announce his decision on McAfee's show, but...

Not sure what to make of this?

That's better APY than Allen.

Goodness.........it's become laughable at how badly the Jets are kissing Rodgers' ass..

And if true almost as much guaranteed money for half the length of the contract Allen agreed to. Allen signed a six year deal with a total of 150 mil guaranteed. Lamar would be signing a three year deal with 133 mil guaranteed.

Allen "only" had $100,038,000 'guaranteed at signing' which is the truly important number vs the $150M 'fully guaranteed'. He'll get that money even if he's injured and out of the NFL or is released/cut. The $150M assumes he remains on the roster and does not have a career ending injury.

The $133M 'guaranteed at signing' would be the second highest truly guaranteed dollar amount behind Watson that would protect Lamar against career ending injury and a release/cut down the road. It would put Lamar ahead of Russell Wilson who currently has the second most 'guaranteed at signing' total at $124M.

It is laughable.

I heard that the Jets have asked for MetLife Stadium Dr to be renamed to Lombardi Avenue.

He gets to hit a new contract sooner, but it says to me that they aren't sold on him lasting longer than that.

Yeah, the three year length of the offer is very telling.

it's unclear what he meant by "133/3", cause there is no news he signed anything yet. Was this an offer? was it his request? was this another teams offfer?

j/c...

New York = Green Bay East????

Rodgers is a great player. For years, I thought he was the most talented qb I had ever watched. He was so fun to watch on the field. However, he's become unlikable w/the continuous drama. Holding teams hostage year after year after year. It's tiresome.

It looks like he turned it down?

Please take Odell off the market!

I think that tweet is a bad look on his character, those little snickers during negotiation show immaturity and lack of professionalism.

I don't wish bad on people, but since Lamar is on the Ravens, I hope this whole thing blows up in his face and he settles somewhere else for much less.

Not exactly the same, but very similar to the QB they had before Rodgers

Au contrare... Farvvvvve was a gunslinger with a cannon for an arm and penchant for interceptions.. Entertaining as anyone to watch.

Rodgers, more mobility and accuracy. Great as well to watch.

Both great, but different styles.

Very much agree. I wasn’t clear on the not exactly the same part. Thank you for clarifying it.

I was mostly alluding to the drama and holding teams hostage.

They are both drama queens for sure...

I saw a post on social media (I cannot find it now - I think was NFL Memes) that said Rodgers is demanding that the Jets sign Jordan Love so that he can sit behind Rodgers.

I liked the stories better where Rodgers was brooding in his Zen basement, meditating on the meaning of it all, taking female companionship as he saw fit, shunning the media sun, burning candles, engorging himself on Jersey Shore marathons, growing his toenails long and slapping around anybody who intruded.

So much more interesting.

Aaron Rodgers Announces His Intention to Play for Jets in 2023

As the Jets and Packers continue to negotiate over the future of Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback went on the Pat McAfee Show to make his intentions clear: he wants to be in New York.

Rodgers stated that he plans to play for the Jets next season, and that the trade discussion between the two teams is the only thing holding up the deal. He said that Green Bay has made it known that they would like to move on from the 39-year-old.

“The Packers would like to move on,” Rodgers said. “They’ve let me know that in so many words. They’ve let others know that in more direct words.”

Rodgers, who has been the talk of the offseason for the second consecutive year, informed the Jets that he would like to continue playing, and expressed his intentions to become their starting quarterback. The Jets front office met with Rodgers in California last week, and came out of the meeting feeling like they were “on the verge” of acquiring the longtime Packers quarterback if he elected to continue playing.

Rodgers signed a three-year, $150 million contract extension last March to remain in Green Bay and, at the time, expressed his desire to retire with the Packers. However, following a disappointing season that saw the NFC North franchise unexpectedly miss the playoffs, Rodgers emerged from the year mum on his future plans.

With Rodgers noncommittal, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Packers “preferred to move on” from their longtime franchise quarterback in order to start Jordan Love, who was selected in the first round of the 2020 draft to be Rodgers’s heir apparent in Green Bay.

The Packers gave permission to the Jets to speak to Rodgers, and now that the 39-year-old has elected to keep playing instead of retire, New York becomes a legitimate title contender in the AFC.

Baker Mayfield is set to succeed Tom Brady in Tampa Bay after the free-agent quarterback 'agreed to a deal for up to $8.5million for one year with the Buccaneers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/n...dy-Tampa-Bay-agrees-deal-8-5million.html

Baker is going to be the next Ryan Fitzpatrick. An NFL QB nomad.. Team to team to team. He's already been on 4.

Bake-magic! Naw.. I don't think it rolls off the tongue right.

Sounds about right. Maybe he'll "find himself" in seasons 7 and 8.
