What do you REALLY think Rodgers would garner in a trade?

On a side note

'However, the asking price is reportedly more than the Jets believe they should give up for a player the Packers have said they no longer want.'

I mean... by nature if you are trading a player you really don't want them. I buy a new car and have a used one, I don't just give away the old car because I don't have a need for it. I try to get value out of it.

There’s something to be said for getting a couple players that we could use whom we’ve seen play in the NFL who are under contract - maybe on a rookie deal- and 2024 draft picks and make it a June 1st deal. I know nothing about the Jets roster but if they are “a QB away” from being a contender and they’re going to sign Lazard maybe Cobb maybe OBJ they MIGHT have a WR we can use. Take their 2024 first round pick. Might it be late? Yes. It also might not be - it’s still a first round pick and GB might get better total value taking this approach than insisting on #13. Might be more immediate help this year, cushion the cap hit and more value picks down the road

Swapping firsts is a bad option for the Packers. It counts as compensation but the payoff is dubious. Can you really make a case that the chances of landing a difference maker at 15 is that much worse than 13. Those picks are too close together to squander the draft capital is takes to move up a paltry two places. Moving two places from 3 to 1 makes a difference if a team is going after a QB but swapping 13 and 15 is dubious.
To a point I agree. One scenario where it’s not dubious is in a trade back. While it sounds splitting hairs, it’s the equivalent of you giving me #15 + #100 (3rd Round Comp)

In a case where both parties are stalemate, it’s enough of an excuse to move forward and give the other party and “out” on their pride.

Been thinking about compensation. How about Elijah Moore and their second?
We could take Van Ness at 15. And if we wanted a Darnell Washington we could trade one of the seconds and either a third or a fourth to move up. And we still could have a second for an offensive tackle or safety.
We could have 4 starters in:
Van Ness
Moore
Washington
Safety/right tackle
But the Jets would have to absorb a lot of contract.

It’s not a terrible deal there, but the Jets would easily have the upper hand. Aaron is still better than any QB available by a mile and he’s under contract for several seasons so he’s GB’s.

I still feel like Rodgers is worth a #13 plus a 3rd this year or 2nd rounder next year etc..
If they gave us Moore and a #43, plus sweetened it with a Day 3 Selection in 2023 (4th/5th)
I’d make a Compromise.

If the Jets walk away from Rodgers over essentially A pair of 2nd Rounders, they aren’t half as smart as they think they are.

Another scenario I’ve heard is that GB has “no leverage” because they’ve said they don’t want Rodgers anymore. Thus his owed money is essentially enough.

Here’s my answer to that.
If I owned a Ford Shelby GT500 Cobra and I decide I’d rather drive my new Dodge Challenger Hellcat and I’ve already bought it. If owning both isn’t preferable for me because it’s kinda financially tight (but I can certainly make the payments on both).
Does that make my Shelby worth less $$ on the open market because I told you I already have a Hellcat and I prefer moving on with that one?? If it’s the only Cobra left this year? Is it worth less?

Last year for instance...there was a run on WRs so New Orleans gave up #16, #98, and #12 to move up to #11 and get Chris Olave.

I know it's a typo but just for the record before anyone freaks out about it. The Saints gave up the 120th pick on top of the 16th and 98th to move up to 11th.

While I don't expect to get anything like we were rumored to get if we had traded him last year, or what Seattle got in the Russel Wilson trade, I am hoping for at least this year's first round pick and a 2nd or 3rd round pick, preferably a conditional pick, in 2024.

If we can't get that I hope Gute waits until after June 1st and demands a player, preferably one of their WRs, along with a decent draft pick (2nd to 4th rd.) in 2024 and 2025.

I feel like at the very least we should at least get two draft picks, with one of them being at least a 2nd rounder and the other being a 3rd or 4th rounder.

People need to R-E-L-A-X. Rodgers wants to play for the Jets, GB wants Rogers to play for the Jets, the Jets want Rogers to play for the Jets. There’s NO rush in getting this done from Green Bays perspective, if it takes a week or two fine. Green Bay and the Jets have to make a deal and Rodgers and the Jets have to make a deal. The league may have to buy off on some cap interpretations. Reading a bunch of stuff into off the cuff comments makes no sense. I feel pretty confident progress is being made towards a deal.

Andrew Brandt says he expects a deal to be agreed upon in a week or 2. I trust him more than the schefters and Rappaports. Both sides will probably bend a little. I could see flipping #15 for #13 and getting the jets 2nd rd pick..maybe even a young player thrown in on the jets side.

As long as it is Elijah Moore. I think the Packers would be willing to pay more of Rodgers contract for a higher draft pick. But the Jets would sooner pay more rather than give up compensation. So your proposal would be like meeting in the middle.
I think this is the big hold up.
And with the Packers restructuring all their contracts, it gives me the impression that they are willing to pay for higher compensation.

I highly doubt the Packers are interested in paying a cent of Rodgers' salary if they trade him.

The biggest problem with your argument is that a Shelby Cobra will appreciate in value while Aaron Rodgers' value in the NFL will be zero in a year or two.
