[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 993147, member: 17987"] You know my initial thought on hearing some of his McAfee interview - saying he wants to play for the Jets but "I'm not the holdup" or whatnot - my initial thought was that it would kind of screw us. It would make sense to think that Rodgers declaring he wants to play for one specific team would minimize the leverage we had in trade negotiations. But the more I think about it the more I think Brandt's take is the correct one. [MEDIA=twitter]1636071640881561600[/MEDIA] Rodgers made it clear he was leaning towards retirement. He made it sound like a return to Green Bay was very unlikely to begin with. With where we are at right now I'm absolutely confident that Rodgers would sooner walk away and retire than he would force his way back onto the Green Bay roster. I like Rodgers and I think a lot of the complaints about his ego/personality/etc are overblown but I am quite certain in saying that he is the type of guy who doesn't want to be somewhere where he isn't wanted. If he has received signals from GB that they are ready to move on, it's done. He's not going to force his way back into a situation where he is no longer first choice. And so for the Packers it's gravy either way. He can get traded to the Jets or he can retire. We have plenty of time for that to get hashed out. For the Jets it's more pressure IMO. I've said before that fan sentiment won't be the sole deciding factor in a trade but it will certainly be some factor. And now we have it clearly stated that Rodgers wants the Jets, the Packers are good to move him, and for NY fans they're going to hear all that and come away thinking that it's as simple as now coming down to whether or not the Jets organization will pay up and get their man.
