I guess they can enjoy a bunch of drama free losing seasons. Sounds fun
I don't understand Aubrey Plaza's unwillingness to date me.
I guess just isolating a sentence of what I wrote aligns with today's world of cherry picking for your own narrative. My point is, they seem to think they are merely a qb away. I understand each side wants to "win" the trade. However, if the Packers are truly "dug in" and the only thing sitting between the Jets and their fans winning a Super Bowl is trading the #13 pick instead of #43, that seems like a small price.
That is a media driven narrative. Packers drafted very good offensive weapons (Jordy, Davante, AJ Dillon as 2nd rounders, Aaron Jones in the 5th, brought back Cobb, they signed Jimmy Graham at Rodgers behest. What likely sticks in Rodgers craw is not only did GB draft Love (instead of Tee Higgins or Michael Pittman Jr.), they gave up draft capital to move UP for Love. I don't know the guy and I shouldn't profess to know what he thinks but his words regarding the current administration on the McAfee show yesterday seemed to me to be the wedge that has driven them apart.
Media driven? It was my first though when watching the draft
He should have been annoyed by it. Fans should have been too. Gutey blew a shot at another trophy. Should have gotten the guy another weapon at WR.

What an ego on this guy. Can't wait for him to leave the division so I can ignore him.Rodgers on McAfee show:
“I'm debatably the best player in franchise history,” Rodgers said. “I'm in the conversation for sure. What's not debatable is I'm the longest-tenured Packer in history. You can debate the first part, obviously Bart (Starr), Brett (Favre), a number of names have been incredible. But you can't debate that anybody has been there longer than I have. And nobody has bled green and gold like me.”

Wow. Just saw some highlights of last year's highliGarrett Wilson
Lol Wonder how Lombardi would react to that if he was still coaching?What an ego on this guy. Can't wait for him to leave the division so I can ignore him.Rodgers on McAfee show:

You mentioned that GB hasn't drafted an offensive player in the 1st round other than Love in 12 years. The media driven narrative is that that has been a bad thing for Rodgers and GB. GB has found some pretty good offensive players outside the first round in that span. I and most Packer fans I know where pissed that they picked Love but they did and you move on. Seems that Rodgers hasn't...but he's an "is what it is kinda guy."
It seemed as though after all he did for them, he'd like them to grant his request to move them now rather than spend months negotiating and extracting max value. Will they? Who knows.Rodgers on McAfee show:

None of this is controversial in any way but it is a bit odd that a player of his stature - truly one of the best ever - feels a need to say it out loud. I guess maybe context matters and since I didn't watch the interview I can't speak to that.
Some want to blame one specific person or team, but this whole event has been a dumpster fire from all 3 sides. You madea valid point about GB, NYJ put themselves here by drafting Zach, and everyone knows what an *** AR is.
I was just trying to make it easier on the readers by cropping (plus the joke worked better). I honestly don't agree with anything that followed - so I went with the light hearted approach.
What wasn't true? - and he left room for debate. I don't want to defend the guy either but sometimes if we looked from the outside, we'd be the ones with the giant egos for judging everything a very successful person has done.

I don't understand what this means. The team is obviously trying to trade him. No one outside the room knows what's holding it up. Both teams have leverage and neither has an easy way out of it, so they have to find some common ground.
She'd be the perfect chick for Aaron Rodgers.

If his goal was to encourage the Packers to cave and get a deal done on less than ideal terms, he really should have stayed home and contacted them privately. I think the leverage issue is complicated and probably doesn't strongly favor either team, but his interview yesterday seems to have put the Jets in a no-way-back situation.

Also, isn't Rodgers cap hit affecting what the Pack can do in free agency?

Yes, he’s on their cap either way so it’s true they have no impetus to make the trade quick, but why wouldn’t they?Ummm, everyone watched that interview to see him say he is gonna be a Jet.

The Packers will eat a big cap hit this year if/when a trade is made. Its not really affecting anything now. But I'm sure everyone wants to get something done soon.

I think he was saying it in a way to praise the Packer organization- or what an honor it was to play for it, but of course he did make it more about him, as if it wasn’t enough already. He clearly has a big ego, but most greats do. Some just display it in a more classy manner.Rodgers on McAfee show:

The Packers and Jets are in a staring contest right now, and they don't actually have to agree on a trade for a long time.
What's this based on?
PFF is pretty secretive about their WAR numbers, but I have this as a general number for a toov5ish QB. Cousins would have gad a pretty high WAR. I expect he added wins even if the team went backwards
In the case of Cousins, how can this be?
Seems irresponsible.
Rodgers has always been at his best when he plays with a chip on his shoulder. He rode the drop in the draft for motivation for a few years and then after he had a couple of down years the Packers drafted Love. That motivated Rodgers to two MVP seasons. This will be a BIG chip on his shoulder.
(1992-2022) 
And all we ever hear is complaints.
And yet I loved Majik the most
That is 31 seasons.
It sounds like they did have a framework agreement worked out, but now the Pack are now looking at what they think is some leverage and deciding to squeeze a little more. Every report has contradicted the other ones though - so at this point I think it's just prudent to wait it out.
