Finally the rodgers saga is over. That dude desperately needs attention. 

[ChuckWag78]

Jets get:
Aaron Rodgers, pick No. 15, a 2023 5th-rd pick (No. 170).

Packers get:
Pick No. 13, a 2023 2nd-rd pick (No. 42), a 6th-rd pick (No. 207), a conditional 2024 2nd-rd pick that becomes a 1st if Rodgers plays 65 percent of the plays.

So many teams seem to want to trade back but don't hear much about anybody wanting to trade up. What's the deal with that?

He does but how this has dragged on wasn't on him. That was just the Packers and Jets haggling over the details that everyone pretty much knew was eventually going to get done so there wasn't a lot of urgency to get it done until we were staring down the barrel of draft day.

Tepper has to be pissed about the timing though. This week was supposed to be all about his team and now the Rodgers news is gonna suck a lot of air out of the room with a team in the biggest media market in the country making a trade for a future first ballot HOF QB.

Probably because they do their best to keep it quiet.

If you want to trade back, you want everyone to know so teams come to you with their offers.

If you want to trade up, you want to do it quietly so other teams who could be targeting the same position as you aren’t aware.

Nah, not really

Everyone knows we're taking Young and everyone has known about Rodgers going to the Jets for a month now.

24 hours from now nobody will be talking about Rodgers again until they see him at Jets camp, and nobody will care about our pick either because it's been known for about a week that we're going with Young.

The unknowns about #2 and onward and how that all plays out will be the story of the week and the main talking points come Monday morning as well.

You're gonna be surprised. Rodgers/Jets is gonna be a HUGE topic of conversation this week.

Rodgers was a big deal Nationally playing in Green Bay.

 

I think you forget NY is the biggest media market in the US. He's definitely going to be the top topic in the league this year. Not to mention he does that Pat Mac podcast which is pretty big. He will make his weekly quotes and the media will blow it up especially the NY media.

Yeah the draft this year isn't really all that much to talk about until guys actually get picked, and even then it's only going to be about the qb's and maybe Jalen Carter because of the character concern stuff

It will last 24 hours, then take a week or so off and come back with a vengeance in a week or so and then be the biggest storyline in the NFL during the season without question.

If this was out of the blue, then yea, it would dominate things, but everyone spent weeks talking about it when it first came out a month or so ago, nothing has changed since then other than the deal being official.

It's draft week, the draft will still dominate the NFL storylines this week, maybe not today, but by tomorrow afternoon it will be back to the draft.

I'm not forgetting, I'm just saying this week will go right back to the draft within 24 hours.

But yes, Rodgers in NY will be the biggest storyline of the season unless Brady makes a shocking comeback.

Pissed about what?

 

Charlotte NC is not a big market. I don't know why people keep expecting the media to talk about us. Even when we went to the SB the talk Nationally was about Cam. We are not a sexy market. It doesn't matter if we hold the #1 pick the media doesn't care about small markets unless you have a superstar player like a Cam or Rodgers when he played for Green Bay.

 

Watch how Green Bay gets no media love this year with Rodgers gone.

They've been around way longer, and had top QB's for the last 30 years. Will be interesting. Even a team like the Patriots kinda lost the media attention once Brady left
