Aaron Rodgers now a New York Jet

[Easy-Rider 66]

For the second time in 15 years, the Green Bay Packers are trading an aging icon to the New York Jets.
The Packers agreed Monday to deal quarterback Aaron Rodgers and their 2023 first round pick (No. 15 overall) and a 2023 fifth-round pick (No. 170) to the Jets for New York's 2023 first-round pick (No. 13 overall), a 2023 second round pick (No. 42), a 2023 sixth-round pick (No. 207) and a conditional 2024 second-ro0und pick that becomes a first if Rodgers plays 65% of the plays this season, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.

I now like our chances even more

Thanks for the prediction

Hey maybe I am wrong about them even making playoffs

[Slurry Pumper]

AFC east is gonna have some good games this year. It'll take the Jets about a year to squander the talent Rodgers still has. The D is still strong so even a mediocre showing with Rodgers might be enough for Gang Green to venture into the playoffs

Get used to at least six prime time stand alone Jets games next season.

You mean the Packers? I am pounding Packers season win total under.

Everyone thinks the AFC is so loaded but I don't see it. Mahomes always has the best team then it's a tossup. I don't know if this is the Jets year. They have a badass defense for sure. But how good are breece hall and that wr they have, I don't know. It amazes me how Rodgers never contacts premier fgs to play with him like brady did. It still baffles me. He could have had OBJ, and that would be very, very dangerous.

I don't trust the Bills. I think Bengals are always a threat with burrow. Philly might be hungry to win it all. They'd be my pick right now. I also think the Lions will fly under the radar.

Jets need a better OL

Rodgers tried to recruit Beckham but Ravens massively overpaid for him. That wasn't Rodgers' fault

Rodgers has never recruited anyone, not one wr has ever gone to play with rodgers. All the guys he ever played with were drafted by the packers. Rodgers doesn't get a pass because maybe he said to the media he wants beckham to come. He coulda gotten beckham before the rams did, he didn't. He could've taken less money, let adams stay, he didn't. He doesn't do what it takes to win. You know when Brady was far and away the best qb in the nfl, he was being paid like an average starter?

I was going to begin my post by saying "Rodgers isn't the GM. He can't control who his teams signs or trades for" but Rodgers did do this when he demanded the Jets sign a list of players he wants and the Jets (mostly) obliged That list included Allen Lazard, who signed a big contract in NY so actually you're wrong there

And you say "Rodgers doesn't get a pass because maybe he said to the media he wants Beckham to come."

Well what is he supposed to do? He doesn't control personnel and he DID recruit Beckham beyond just saying it in the media and by all accounts Beckham WAS going to sign in NY but then the team he used as leverage (Ravens) got desperate because they had their own QB issues and overpaid him as a way to appease Lamar Jackson to sign a long term deal (it worked). At the end of the day, money talks

As for 2021, Rodgers can't force Beckham to play with him. It's not like Beckham wanted to sign with the Packers and Rodgers refused. It was between the Rams and Packers and Beckham just chose the Rams. Nothing Rodgers can do about that

And for Brady, he took team friendly deals but they were never to the point he was paid like an average starter. More like $5-10 million less per year than the highest paid players (AAV, cap hits are a different story). But Brady's biggest source of income was never from playing football. It's easy to do things like this when you have outside businesses pulling in hundreds of millions and a wife that had even more money than him. Rodgers does get his share of sponsorships but nothing close to the earning power of Brady off the field

You really talking about income? Rodgers has more money than he'll ever spend in his entire life. What's the difference between 200 million and 300 million? Literally nothing. Everyone in this world in general, all they think about his money. Especially guys who are already filthy loaded. Mark Cuban has 5 billion or whatever, but he's a greedy motherfukker and just wants 15 billion or whatever it is. You'll never spend that money, ever. And Brady never cared about money, he knew that if he went down as the goat, that money would come to him from everywhere anyway. Brady doesn't even give a f about the fox 300 million dollar deal.

He took less money not cause he had money, it's cause the guy wanted to win rings and be remembered as the goat. That's all he thought about everyday. Look at these nba losers who make 60 million a year like lillard, then cry that they can't compete for a championship. No shit sherlock, you just used the whole budget. Then he'll rationalize it like "I gotta take care of my family." Lmao. So you gotta have 60 million per year to make sure your son has diapers and goes to a good catholic school? Ok.

Just to let you know, when Brady won that ring with tampa, he called Gronk. He said come to tampa. He did. He called Fournette, he said you're gonna be in tampa. He called several players in fact, and got them over there. This is all documented. The next year, they didn't win, they lost to the eventual champs, but Fournette was a free agent about to leave, and Brady called him and said "what are you up to?" he's like "nothing much man, just shopping around, going to meetings, i'm a free agent." Brady said "I'll call you right back." 5 minutes later, fournette had an offer from the bucs.

Brady doesn't just recruit his guys, he recruits guys who are potential all stars. Allen Lazard fukking blows. Just like Randal Cobb. Did Rodgers take Cobb with him to New York too? Wouldn't be surprised if he did.

So what should Rodgers do you ask? One, take less money, stop being a greedy loser and protect your legacy. Your legacy lives on after you die. Your money doesn't. Guy doesn't even have kids.

Two. Maybe create a relationship with players instead of doing god knows what with your offseasons. Smoking some native american shit. Go actually call Beckham and play golf with him, create a friendship. It's not mystifying to you that not one star has ever gone to GB to play with rodgers? Not even 1... What does that say about him? It says that people around the league probably don't like him.

Meanwhile Brady called Julio Jones on the phone last year and said come to Tampa. Yeah, it didn't work out, but at least the guy tried to do SOMETHING to WIN. Rodgers cares more about making an extra 10 million dollars a year than actually winning a superbowl ring. This is the kind of disturbing world we live in, where a guy with 200 million will sabatage an entire franchise's dreams just so he can retire with 230 million. What a loser.

Of course he did. And Mercedes Lewis too

Nothing mystifying about it. I don't disagree with you at all on that. Rodgers always been a little strange like that and doesn't have the best relationships with teammates. That's just who he is. I don't think he care as much about legacy as maybe other people would want him to

Brady definitely helped his legacy by taking less but isn't that actually diminishing his accomplishments ?

You're saying he was able to get a better team around him so in effect you're saying he had to do less to achieve what he did

I'm saying Brady will do anything to win. He'll do whatever he has to do. He'll say whatever he has to say on the sidelines to either piss guys off or motivate them in some way. He'll give up money if it means getting a solid o lineman to protect him. He'll let antonio brown live in his house with his wife and kids. He got antonio brown a job when no one wanted him, cause he knew he could help brady win a ring. He put aside any pride or anything for the sake of the team.

Taking pay cuts says more about someone's character than a lot of things. A pay cut for the betterment of the team is a sign of true maturity. Nowadays, not just in sports, everyone just wants as much money as they can get. And these sports figures, they are idiots because whether they are sitting on 200m or 300m, it won't matter if in 30 years you're sitting at your pool thinking about how you never were able to get it done. "I wish I had just taken less, teamed up with another superstar." The whole point of playing sports is to win.

It's a team sport. You can't win these team sports on your own, it's not possible. Lebron Wade and Bosh all took 18million each to get to the finals 4 straight years. They could have eached stayed where they were and taken 30 million each at the time, but they didn't. Lebron would never be in the conversation as the goat if he didn't go to miami. and we all know that's all lebron cares about. All he cares about is trying ot be better than Kobe and Jordan.

[Snowball]

we saw Green Bay deteriorate, and it wasn't AR's fault.

plus, all the Jordan Love talk he had to put up with.

Well James Harden had that mentality this season. Didn't work out so well for him though

Not always gonna work out, but at least he tried. Embiid isn't a number 1 option and Tobias makes way too much money. So if those two guys did the same thing, and let's say took cuts, and brought in another all star type player, like let's say a Derozan, that Philly team would probably win it all. But it's all money money money. I'm only gonna retire with 200 million instead of 250! How will I ever live?

That Tobias Harris contract is probably the single biggest reason the Sixers haven't had more success the last four years or so. Just a colossal waste of money
