Hear me out, this might sound crazy but I have a few reasons why to do this. The Jets are not going to trust Rodgers coming back on surgery and Zach Wilson (lol) has started to show poise and confidence in the pocket, and has gained respect from his team. The Jets don’t wanna throw that away for a 40 year old QB that is starting to break down, right?
This is how we fuck them. Our first overall pick for Aaron Rodgers and their first round pick.
Reasons why you might think this is absurd “we would never make a trade with The Jets” To that I say, “haha” Belichick will fuck over the Jets however possible. If The Jets got our top 5 pick their scouting department would implode, mainly because they aren’t focused on players projected to go in the top 10. Knowing The Jets, they’ll pick some D lineman or O lineman that can out bench or squat everyone and have that pick be a bust. So yea know, we can laugh at that because hahah Jets drafted another bust… With our pick too! Then we get Rodgers and a middle of the road first round pick. Then we have the whole Mac Jones issue, which I think Bill wont give a fuck about him and let him take backup snaps with the 2nd team until his contract runs out (kid gotta learn some humility).
TLDR: We trade our first to The Jets for Rodgers and there first round pick, they panic (draft a bust), and we get Rodgers and a first round pick for free because The Jets gotta pay Rodgers even if he is traded, thank you Green Bay. If we can buttfuck the Jets on this I will kiss a Packer fan.
I actually think this ALMOST makes sense, if Rodgers had played more than 4 snaps and they had something resembling a competent backup on the roster. There is no way they get rid of him before seeing what he can do with their offensive weapons, and trading for a number 1 doesn’t necessarily get them what they need.most, which is something resembling a competent QB. What you proposed is the Jets basically saying, let’s just inexplicably go backwards in the rebuild process for no gain
