I hate that we need this to happen. Damned if we do. Damned if we don’t. Either we’re the laughingstock because we fucked up the Carr situation and missed out on Rodgers or because we got Rodgers, didn’t win a title and are stuck with the ringleader of a 5 ring circus as he holds us hostage next offseason debating whether or not he wants to play.
FYI - Locked the other threads. This will be the new Rodgers thread. To answer your question, No Jets can't talk to Rodgers without Packers permission. So if indeed they spoke on Monday than a framework of a trade is agreed upon and all we are waiting for is to finalize the deal with Rodgers. To me this explains why Jets didn't proceed with an offer to Carr.
Boomer still adamant that the Jets will get Rodgers and will work out contract to make it more friendly for free agency.
All of these reports confirming the fact that we met with Rodgers yesterday and he still doesn’t even know if he wants to play let alone for the Jets makes yesterday’s Derek Carr botch even more frustrating. This confirms that we had absolutely no assurances from Rodgers before letting Carr walk. Fucking incompetence.
If you watched the bro-mance podcast video with his buddy, he wants to play..... whether or not its with the JETS remains to be seen. My initial thought was he wants to finish out in GB, but hopefully the beating the JETS put on him last season, peaks his interest a bit
You dont know that. Let it play out. For all we know, the deal could be done and that's why Carr signed with the Saints.
This reeks of some “cover your ass” PR move by the Jets. They looked like fucking idiots yesterday now they need to leak some thing to make it look like there’s a competent back up plan in place. I would fucking love if I these reports were true but as of right now I have no reason to believe the that resembles making sense.
that’s the way the Jets have operated for the last 23 years. “Cover your ass PR move” should be the team motto
How can you say they looked like idiots without knowing the end result????????? Let it play out. Rodgers to the Jets could be on the cusp of happening.
