I have no idea what it would even take if Bakthiari was thrown in the deal. I'm a firm believer of it being a 2 or 3 this year with a conditional pick in '24.
if it is between Carr and Rodgers you go with Rodgers. The question is money, Carr signed with the saints for 160 million 25 million a yr plus a 60 million dollar signing bonus. That is nuts for him. Rodgers is owed close to 60 million for 2 yrs. Woody should split the difference with the the packers. why because if Rodgers retires that is 40 million dollars in a cap hit this year. So in essence both teams should be motivated to make a trade happen at a reasonable cost. Now cap hits if he is traded https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nf...-traded-isn-t-as-bad-as-you-think/ar-AA18r8f5 Either way I would expect March 15 to be the day why....the start of the new year in the NFL I would say a 3rd conditional on if they make the playoffs and based on performance.
I suspect the Rodgers deal should be done in a few days. Next week free agency starts and these teams need to know where they stand personal wise to make roster moves.
I'd want it to be a conditional pick next year. We have no idea what's going on in AR's head and I wouldn't want to give up anything that could not be recaptured easily if he decided to retire before the season.
Has there been any examples of a trade that went through successfully after a week long courtship like this?
Didn't we court Favre for like 3 weeks before the trade went through? I would hope that this whole situation is resolved one way or the other before Monday. I can't imagine the Jets or the Packers would want this thing to drag into the start of FA. Both sides need to know what's on their books for 2023 before handing out any FA contracts. Seems like Rodgers gets that based off of comments he's made over the last few weeks but this is a tough decision, so I get why he's taking his time. I just hope that time is almost at it's end.
The Packers always have the option of trading Rodgers for future conditional pick(s) wherever they want to send him. He could retire in response with the implicit threat of unretiring before camp and screwing up the cap but his rights are assigned at the time of the trade and the cap problem would be on the acquiring team. This is why you trade him for conditional picks in 2024 or later. The acquiring team will have no reason to void the trade when he retires and it will be their headache.
If he chooses retirement, how long would he need to be “retired” before signing with some other team under no restrictions? One season?
I think the Packers want to know just like the Jets. They may not be in quite as big of a hurry as we are but they definitely want to know his status ASAP.
This shit is REALLY dragging out. I wonder if Woody & Co. are having second thoughts about all of this nonsense. Probably not since they've bet the farm on getting Rodgers but the legitimate question remains how long do we wait for a decision? Why do I get the feeling Rodgers already knows what he's gonna do? Is all of this drama really necessary??
With the tampering period starting Monday, Miami would have to be talking to him today if they were interested. I'd assume we have a deadline in place of Sunday or so for him to decide before we start looking at other options.
Or Miami needed to get under the cap b/c they only have 43 guys signed to their roster and need to pay their rookies. That Dov guy sucks. All he does it steal other peoples works and twists words to create narratives and clicks.
Look BN I am talking as a poster not as a moderator. For the past few days, my excitement level as a Jets fan is as high as it can ben. I check ESPN and Twitter whenever I can and I also check this thread to see if there is any news I missed. When I come to this thread I see back and forth about stuff that shouldn't be part of this thread. Am I clear?
