Im not against it, but how much would GB want for a QB who has 2 more years max of playing football?

 

I would give up a 1st for a 2 year run with Rodgers.

 

Also would Rodgers be okay coming to Charlotte? We don't seem like his kind of market.

Rogers used to live in Charlotte during off-season at one point.

I think the bigger question is does he want to go to the Jets or is he accepting the visit to get other teams to move in and pony up the money.

For whatever reason the NYJ is a horrible place for QBs. The god they worship (Joe Namath) was fugging horrible. They just can’t ever get it right, even when they had Brett Favre for a season. Pennington, Geno ( who is now doing fine now) Wilson, Sanchez, Sam, and a countless list of others. 

And if he thought the west coast media market was tough, wait until he gets a taste of how critical the NY sports media is.

Eric Edholm's comments on the Panthers as a landing spot for Carr...

The Panthers made runs at some of the top available quarterbacks last offseason before settling on drafting Matt Corral in Round 3 and trading for Baker Mayfield in July. Neither worked out in the short term, as Corral suffered a season-ending injury, and Mayfield struggled before being cut and ending up with the Rams.

Now they might be set to hit restart at the position again this offseason. New head coach Frank Reich certainly will have a say in which direction the team heads there, as could new QB coach Josh McCown, but neither of them, nor the other offensive coaches Reich has added to his staff, have strong connections to Carr.

The Panthers also own the No. 9 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and could use that to select a new passer. They also could re-sign Sam Darnold, as an inexpensive free-agent option who played better for Carolina down the stretch, as well as move forward with Corral. Then again, the Panthers’ interest in Carr could also be tied to the fact that the division-rival Saints are clearly kicking his tires. The NFC South’s quarterback situation appears a bit lean now that Tom Brady's retired, leaving all four teams seemingly looking for help at the position.

This is a young team with some foundational talent around which to build, and the Panthers could end up with six 2023 draft picks in the top 150 overall, thanks to the Christian McCaffrey trade. So while drafting a young quarterback can’t be dismissed at all, going the veteran route also has to be on the table.

Wouldn't that be the role Josh McCown plays in our plans? If we go Levis or Richardson we will need a good mentor. A McCown as a coach and someone like Jacoby B to start the year.

Jacoby Brissett is a definite possibility.

And as much as folks won't like it, so is Sam Darnold.
