I dont think Purdy will be available in 2023 for us to find out. They wrecked his arm so badly he needs major surgery and that surgery has been delayed because of the swelling. He probably misses next season
I’ve been trying to tell people this for the past… what’s it been, 7 years?? Getting rid of him actually is a worse decision financially than keeping him but “he sucks, get rid of him!!!”
Yes it does. Jets incur 11m cap hit if cut now, versus paying him $20M+ over next two years. Dead money doesn’t matter much as cap will increase like it did this year.
If he can't play he shouldn't be on the roster. I think that statement applies to everyone at every position. Lets set a bar and ask players to hit it, instead of lowering the bar because of contracts/draft slots
https://sports.betmgm.com/en/blog/n...on's contract is a,fifth-year option for 2025. Contract is fully guaranteed. He gets paid no matter what.
It seems to me the clock is ticking and one has to consider the relevant options. AS some have speculated, AR could milk this for a few more weeks...then what? In business you make decisions based on its effect to operational efficiency (in this case team management. lockroom, etc.), revenue streams (ticket sales, etc.) and profitability. In additon, based on market conditions you have a timeline and target date for implementation. My point is, how long has management alotted (assuming they are smart enought to have) for AR's decision... and what is the impact if they reach that threashold... Plan B and if Plan B is nolonger available because of the timing...then what Plan C and ZW.... and if this scenario unfolds you maybe marginally better at QB with a lower tiered QB but at what cost.... I certainly know what I would do but then again, I am not the GM.
Let's also remember that while to most of us this darkness retreat seems like a crazy or attention-seeking thing to do, any perceived drama that some of us are already sick of is not Aaron Rodgers doing, it's the coverage, the comments, and the attention he gets from the football world because he is who he is. To this point he's done nothing wrong at all. Now that this is behind him, it'll get interesting. But let's not blame him if we Jets fans are still in the dark for for several days. (Pardon the pun). He needs to huddle and decide a course of action within his current organization now.
"Sources" are saying that "inside sources" are saying Rodgers wants to stay. Gotta love those sources.
Wouldn't it be the ultimate kick in the ass if all of this off-season drama was a ruse orchestrated by Rodgers for the purpose of getting a raise from Green Bay?
Yeah, but that's not happening. He's making 50 million and really doesn't need the money. But good Darkside Jets thought
Yes, that's why we need to trade him to get it off the books - and we save $5M. I misspoke on the cut, I meant trade as I referenced in my initial post. Sign Mike White, trade Wilson for a loaf of bread, and that saves us money over next 2 years.
I really don’t think any of this is as sinister by Rodgers as everyone makes it out to be. He’s also very polarizing because of some of his political views and the seemingly odd off-season decisions to your normal guy. I think he very reasonably wants to take it year by year as to if he wants to keep doing this. It’s a boatload of money but it’s also for someone who doesn’t need a boatload of money. I get the Packers and other teams perspectives of not wanting to wait, but again, he’s created that leverage for himself by being so good for so long with a lot of money this organization has tied into him.
I disagree. Rodgers had all these issues with Brett Favre's yearly offseason drama and here he is becoming Favre himself. Last offseason he pulled those stunts for more money, its obvious.. I think he learned from Roethlisberger. When you are an aged superstar under contract, the only leverage you have left for money or personnel decisions is to threaten retirement. (Roethlisberger never won jack shit again once he started on that strategy and neither has/will Rodgers)
I’m not going to deny that I’m sure part of it is a money play and was last year. Favre made a lot bigger of an issue of the Packers drafting Rodgers than Rodgers did of love. And made it a point to get back to the Vikings to try to ram it up their ass over it. Very spiteful. Rodgers is just a different type of thinker which is obvious by all his weird retreats and shit. I think it’s pretty obvious that he’s significantly smarter than Favre was. You’re also one of these guys that I’m guessing has a huge issue with his vaccine stance.
uhh no. I haven’t mentioned that once. I don’t give a fuck what he does with that He has had a big problem with Jordan Love by the way
Tape doesn’t lie, my guy. https://forums.theganggreen.com/threads/aaron-rodgers-tests-positive-for-covid-19.96482/ He had a big problem when they drafted him. Favre waged war on him until he was traded to the Jets.
well he is stupid for not getting vaccinated. But what was that years ago? at this point I’m tired of talking about it. You brought it up The point is he’s not genuinely considering retirement. Which is what we were discussing. He is obviously being a pain in the ass for selfish reasons. I don’t think Covid is relevant
The point is that you already thought he was a douche for reasons that had nothing to do with any of this coming in. So anything he does, you will rail against. I don’t see the big deal in a 40 year old taking a couple weeks after the season to think. I guess others do.
Well "others" don't make a spectacle of it. Its a private decision after all Let me ask you a question. Suppose he emerges from his cave and decides he does want to continue playing and he wants to play for the NY Jets. How is that any different from like Kyrie Irving demanding the Nets trade him? I think we can all agree Irving is douche, but Rodgers has good intentions?
