[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 992937, member: 17987"] So IMO a "first read" at this would suggest that Rodgers going to NY is more or less a done deal. You wouldn't see such a "list" if it wasn't a sure thing, i.e. the Jets would never agree to any sort of arrangement like Rodgers telling them "Bring in Cobb, Lazard, Big Dog, and OBJ and I'll join you guys" (well, maybe they would, but I don't think they're THAT dumb) so you'd think he's already on board and more or less making his first "requests". But to play devil's advocate: What if the Jets are perhaps looking for an "out"? What if they're perhaps thinking they actually don't want to go through with the deal and need a way to save face? After all the talk about signing Rodgers - from NY media, Jets execs, Jets players, etc - it would be awfully embarrassing if it looked like they couldn't get the deal done. But on the other hand...if they're able to make Rodgers look like the "bad guy" and that the Jets were making the smart move by pulling out of the deal, that's different... Because for me these alleged requests look a bit ridiculous to be honest. I don't know that any of those players are much better (for the money, opportunity cost, etc) than what the Jets currently have and I don't think force-feeding Lazard instead of Wilson or Moore or Mims or whoever is going to put them any closer to a super bowl. What if the Jets are leaking out these "requests" to make Rodgers look like more trouble than he's worth, to get fans to think that maybe they're dodging a big headache by not signing him? That's all completely baseless speculation at the moment but wouldn't be the most implausible thing ever, either. It wouldn't surprise me if Rodgers never made these requests in the first place, tbh.
