The Jets, man. I would hate to be a Jets fan. They are in worse shape right now than Seattle. Like Seattle, they entered with season with high hopes, and Rodgers is gone. The final piece to their puzzle was wiped out on the opening drive. A 40-year old QB with a 2-year $75 million guaranteed deal. He might be ready for next year. Maybe. He’s 40. Achilles. It’s bad. For myself, part of me is giggling, but part of me misses the storyline that everyone just got robbed of. Aaron Rodgers will be just fine, but his opportunity to “pull a Brady” is gone. And the Jets gave up a 1st and two 2nds, and something else for him. Sux to be a J-E-T-S fan.
Wasn’t it ex-Ram, Leonard Cohen — you know, the author of “Hallelujah!” — the edge who did him in?
I’m not a fan of Rodgers. He’s a jerk, IMO, especially when it came to the pandemic. But I didn’t want to see him go out in the first game.
Lotsa talking heads were saying the Jets might call the Rams again about Stafford. With MS playing so well this past Sunday, the price has likely gone up.
Would you trade Stafford to the Jets at this point?
If the Jets offered Sauce Gardner, Jermaine Johnson, and their 1st next year, I think I would.
