This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.

What was his post even in response to? I am truly lost. Talk about bringing a pet topic into every thread...

Rodgers trying to influence personnel decisions isn't anything new. Talking up players who didn't deserve to be talked up is one of the biggest mistakes he has made in his career. The way he would praise Cobb and James Jones circa 2012, you'd think both those guys were blue chip WR1's. It's no wonder the front office neglected to spend a top pick on WR for so many years.
He’s as bad as evaluating personnel as lebron james, at least lebron has 4 titles though.
really? Rodgers, according to Herman likes hanging out with some of the highest rated players on the team, and till we find a player better then them he thinks we should retain them :idn:

whatever, the main reason Rodgers wanted Cobb back, or wants to keep Lewis or any of the older vets is because the GM has wiff'd on there replacements, does he rather hang with players closer to his own age? sure, it's the same reasons we do, things in common, all the rest of this hulla ballou is bloviated BS to rag on the QB

the title of this thread had nothing to do with Gary, the OL, or anything Packers except the future of Rodgers, so who hijacked the thread.

anyway Joe Namath is trying to lure Rodgers to the Jets, offering his retired jersey number as enticement.

Ben so long since I heard the name Namath I thought he probably died :lol:

Namath is still a guy who has “free press” any time he wants it. If he wants to make a public statement, the press will glom all over it, no matter how silly it is. I’d put this into the whimsical category. Like, so what if Namath would give up his retired number?

Jets are definitely one of the favorites to Lans Rodgers in a trade.

Honestly, Jets' history at QB is kinda sad. Best QB in their history is Namath, who by today's standards would be a terrible QB statistically. Vinny Testaverde was good, Pennington was solid, then their next best might honestly be that 1 year with Favre :oops: or maybe those two decent years from Sanchize. Two years of 2022!Rodgers could actually make him a Top 5 QB in their team history.

I have thought all year that the Jets make the most sense.

Eh.......I doubt it would be the old classic "we're gonna win the game" 1968 Joe Namath New York Jets jersey though. Instead some disgusting modernized Jets jersey that no one respects or wants to wear anyway. Man.........those J-E-T-S were awesome with Weeb working the sideline. '68 was a magical year for Namath and his incredible offense (Maynard, Sauer, Lammons, Boozer, Snell, Winston Hill, Rasmussen, Schmitt, Herman and Finnie). Verlon Biggs and Gerry Philbin were the defensive ends. Somehow the Jets no-name defense won all of those games. I can still hear Curt Gowdy calling the games (at least I think I can).

Here's Broadway Joe's 1968 Jets jersey (1968 Topps card):

Trivia: John Schmitt #52 played for the Packers after he was with the Jets.

Yeah, but didn't he say he was going to retire with the Packers? Or retire "as a Packer" ala HaHa, Jordy, and whoever else got into that game.

Raiders would be crazy, pairing him with Davante again. A division with Mahomes, Rodgers, Herbert and Russell would be pretty crazy. West area team, closer to home. I could see this. We’d have a lot of the raiders picks, lol.


Jets most talked about one. Makes a lot of sense already discussed and hilarious given Brett.


I can’t really see Aaron interested in Indy or Carolina. Just location wise, big city wise, team talent, owners, turnover, coaching question marks, don’t think he’ll go for it.


Tennessee is a maybe. Aaron likes the city, decent shell of a team, established coaches.


Outside of that, I could see Seattle and New England. Both have pretty decent rosters and coaches with maybe 2-3 left tops, I believe the two oldest coaches in the league. They might be willing to push in some chips . New England doesn’t seem sold on Mac Jones, Belichick seems to have high regard for exceptional players. Seahawks have a Ton of picks, like 4 in top 50 and two firsts next year, they could make a big move for Aaron and still have a lot of pieces to add talent. And being an NFC team, they might have to offer more. And Seattle is a west coast team, closer to home.


Then also maybe the Giants. Jones’s contract is up. They’d have the ability to have a trade worked out for Aaron before they’d have to decide to use the franchise tag or not on Jones. Not sure if Aaron will wanna go there though. I don’t think that team is that good, still not sure of the coach, and frankly their WR room is worse than ours.



I’ve seen the Saints come up. Questionable coaching and talent, no first round pick this year, not sure they could offer enough. Not sure if Aaron would want to go there.

Washington would surely be interested, but NFC and can’t imagine Aaron wanting to go to such a dysfunctional franchise.

Tampa could maybe be interested, but they had real issues on O this year and im not really sure why.

Dolphins could make sense if Tua can’t return from the concussions. Can’t imagine Aaron not wanting to play with those WRs.

If the Ravens stupidly trade Lamar, they could be a wild card with some pieces.

Pittsburgh a wild card too maybe.

I just can’t imagine SF with everything they’ve done at QB, they have like 3 legit options at QB. But SF is willing to make big moves.

Think that’s just about everyone, lol.



I guess my desire would be for Seattle to move in with an offer that we just can’t refuse. They have a ton of draft capital. I think that could just make us the strongest long term with what they could offer.

I think I’d most want to see Aaron in Miami with those WRs, be easiest to root for him there and frankly fun to watch.

I think the most likely is the Jets.

Schaffer spent that time saying nothing new. Not a single thing. But that’s what many of them do. They continue spinning and regurgitating the same thing until at least the springtime. It fills broadcast time, for sure.

I’ve dumped on Rodgers plenty these last couple years with his retirement drama and drop off in play. There’s no denying his greatness from the past, tho. Here’s a Twitter thread highlighting some of his greatest plays. Truly amazing player over the years.
