OBJ, Jets want a Deal Done. The Financials still need to be worked out, but both Jets and Odell would like to see this done, per ESPN

Are the Jets still negotiating with the Packers?

At this point, there's no turning back for the Jets. The Packers know this. They have the Jets by the balls.

No Kmed, according to the media and a few posters I respect but disagree with, the Jets will be gifted Rodgers as they have the leverage.

I am with you, GB should hold steady.
I would like to know how the Jets have any leverage.  
Kmed6000 : 3/23/2023 10:31 am : link
What happens if they can't agree. Will Rodgers play for GB? If not, they don't pay him. If so, they have their all-timer back for another run.

What happens to the Jets? Either they become a shit show with Wilson or they go get Lamar and become a shitshow.

My dream scenario is that after the Jets do all of this bending over for Rodgers the Packers get pissed because the Jets refuse to give their 13th overall pick and open negotiations with San Fran or another team. Just tell Rodgers that he has 3 choices. Play for the Packers, play for another team not named the Jets or retire.

I want the Jets arrogance humbled. They actually think they have all the leverage. I’m hoping it bites them right in the ass

Baltimore can match any offer for Lamar so even if the Jets want him it’s not their choice. Which is hysterical

Lamar Jackson said he isn’t looking for a fully guaranteed deal.
Yeah, the jets will have no choice  
Kmed6000 : 3/23/2023 10:49 am : link
but to go after Lamar if they can't get Rodgers. Going into the season with Wilson as the QB can't happen. Not after every single person in Jets land said they were a QB away and Wilson wasnt respected in the lockerroom.

fun of the Jets and all, but OBJ as the #2/3 WR isn't a bad move on a prove it deal. Yeah, he'll bring the circus with him, but the last time we saw him in the 2021 postseason, he was really good when there were other WRs taking the attention (24 catches for 288 and 2 TDs in 3.5 postseason games).

They haven't lost anything of real note except Sheldon Rankins, and Lazard for Davis is an upgrade at the WR2 spot (Lazard also an elite blocker), and OBJ will take over the WR3 role. If Breece and Vera-Tucker come back healthy, it's a strong O unit (especially with an OL addition in round 1). If they get Rodgers, it might be the best D he's played with in 10 years.





What makes you think OBJ is willing to play on a “ prove it” deal? He’s looking for big money. Even if it’s only a one year deal it’s likely to be north of $10M. He’s already made his feelings known about the $4M offers he’s apparently gotten


I don't know, I'm just going by the simple market economics. Doesn't seem like there's strong interest in him out there. Even if it's a higher dollar 1 year incentive laden deal, I don't think that's the worst case for either party. Jets best players are all cost controlled for this year (Breece, Wilson, Sauce, Quinnen, AVT), and if you can fit him in for a one year gamble it's worth the risk to me. It's not like they're dependent on his success, they have Wilson and Lazard above him on the depth chart. If he plays his role like he did in LAR as the 3rd option he can be successful.

Just my thoughts.

Jets are not the only team that would have picked Wilson and Becton right around where they were selected. What is moronic is their development plan, or lack thereof for Wilson. Almost makes the Giants first three with DJ seem like a plan.

So far this year, he has not done anything that cannot be justified. I have to assume the Elijah Moore trade was a dump caused by burnt bridges with Saleh.

However, bringing in OBJ to a crowded WR room that screams Garrett Wilson as the once and future cost-controlled alpha makes no sense from any aspect. As a Jets fan, I have to hope this is just click bait speculation by a media which seems to have too much time on their hands.

It's a dumpster fire org with a rookie GM, HC and his butt buddy OC all at that the same time who never bothered to get a vet QB on the roster Wilson's first year.

ManningLobsItBurressAlone : 3/23/2023 12:08 pm : link
and potentially signing OBJ "loading up" on stars on the wrong side of 30. The hyperbole is a little much sometimes.

Brady was 42 when he originally went to TB and he got them a Super Bowl. Rodgers is 39, and is only one year removed from back to back MVP campaigns. QB is one position where you can squeeze some life out of the tail end of the playing years. He also still had 26 TDs and 12 INTs, while completing 65% of his passes in a down year for him, with a subpar WR group (really until Watson broke out in week 8).

Again, OBJ would be going there as a complementary piece. He's WR3 on the depth chart, behind a budding star in Garrett Wilson, and Lazard.
Please let it happen.  
Dave in Hoboken : 3/23/2023 12:19 pm : link
Two old guys way past their prime on the same team would be hilarious. A 40 year old QB and a 30 year old WR who's coming off yet ANOTHER torn ACL and the Jets fumbling their way through a loaded AFC would be hilarious.

Load up on those old guys. It'll be great to see the Jets ruin the good work they were doing before signing these guys.

First off, Rodgers is not Brady. Brady is an all-time WINNER. Rodgers on the other hand is not. He has the skills, but he aint Brady. Secondly, Brady is the exception, not the norm. How often do guys win in their 40's? Especially going to a new team.

ManningLobsItBurressAlone : 3/23/2023 1:03 pm : link
players, I'm comparing the age factors that was brought up. Of course Tom is the exception, but he changed teams at 42, and still was highly productive. Rodgers is 3 years younger, and looking at Rodgers last handful of years, there's not a ton in his stats that would tell you he's washed up. It was a down year last year (with an all new WR room and Lazard as the exception), and it still produced 26-12 TD/INT to go along with almost 3,700 yards, and 65% completion. There was known conflict with him and the org..Would it be all that surprising for him to come out with the Jets O and new motivation and he puts up an MVP caliber year? It wouldn't be that crazy to me. It was just 2 and 3 seasons ago where he put up 48-5 and 37-4 when he had a true alpha WR in Adams, and Wilson has the looks of a WR that can get to that.

Would I? Her comments about the story were accurate. I used the term "wish list" the same as she did in her report, and she stood by that report. Rodgers tried to discredit it by misconstruing her report as "demands," which is not how she characterized it. He may have taken issue with how some others may have discussed the report, but he didn't deny the actual report, which was a "wish list".

And this is incorrect. Rodgers: “Now, did they [the Jets] ask me about certain guys I played with over the years? Of course. Did I talk glowingly about teammates that I love? Yeah, why wouldn’t you? Do I love those guys on the list? Of course. Did I make demands about certain people? People want these things to be so true,” he said.

So he obviously discussed players, and what he didn't say speaks volumes. Further, she didn't say that Rodgers was the source of her reporting. Her source could've easily been someone with the Jets. I'm curious as to how you think she reported something like this, and the Jets then immediately sign Lazard afterwards and now, reportedly, are working with OBJ on getting a deal done. Is this just coincidence to you? Do you feel she pulled that report out of thin air?

It wasn't reported that way by Russini. She said, "wish list." Which is different than a demand. Here she is, in her own words, appearing on the Dan Patrick Show, who asked this exact question:

He called out Russini specifically for a report about free agents Rodgers wanted the Jets to sign. As for Schefter, Rodgers was broader.

“I would say the same thing that I told Schefty: ‘Lose my number. Nice try.’ I’ll speak for myself. I’m sure there will be people who have their sources. But, from what I’ve seen, it’s like I had a sheet of paper when I met with the jets and I went ‘Sign these people.’ That’s not the reality. That’s ridiculous. It’s so stupid to think that I would do that.

I'm not sure what you're arguing with me about. Russini didn't say what Rodgers is insinuating she said. She specifically said it was a wish list, not a demand. Her source for her story doesn't have to be Rodgers, it clearly wasn't, and it doesn't have to be to be accurately reported. Rodgers is making a claim that seems to apply to people who discussed the report, but not the report itself. Can we agree that Rodgers' characterization of "demands" is not applicable to Russini's actual report? Because if you can find anywhere that Russini made this claim, I'd be impressed, because I can't find it.

I don't understand the denigration of Russini's reporting, which seems to be accurate, based on what she actually said. In Rodgers' own words, he leans towards substantiating her report, not denying it. The only thing he's denying is a strawman argument that isn't fact-based.
I don't know why you always think I'm arguing with you.

Oh brother. You said that Rodgers denied the report and the media is full of bs. I replied saying that between the two, in this case I'd put money on Rodgers being full of shit. You responded I'd be broke because Russini admitted it. Then we had a back and forth about the legitimacy of Russini's report.

I originally replied to your post of "do you read the whole post before replying" because I had put in my post that Rodgers attempted to discredit Russini's report on the Pat McAfee show, and your post, as a direct reply to mine, said, "Rodgers said it was a BS story." I thought it was a strange reply after I already had mentioned that Rodgers tried to discredit it. That's all.

Hey, have a great day today!

At this point, there's no turning back for the Jets. The Packers know this. They have the Jets by the balls.



No Kmed, according to the media and a few posters I respect but disagree with, the Jets will be gifted Rodgers as they have the leverage.


Wellington Mara IS DEAD. No one in the NFL gifts another team players or draft picks any more

I am with you, GB should hold steady.
