The Packers think they have all the leverage here. They don't.
in, refusing to budge in the trade negotiations between the two teams. There is a feeling around the NFL that the Packers are the ones with the most leverage here, and that the most likely outcome is that the Jets eventually will blink and give up too much for a player who, at 39, is essentially a one- or two-year rental.The Packers need to get rid of Rodgers as much as the Jets need to add him to their roster. If the Packers are being unreasonable — i.e.
Remember: There is no scenario in which Rodgers can return to Green Bay now. The Packers have made it abundantly clear that they are ready to move on, and the chief motivation for Rodgers’ decision not to retire seems to be the opportunity to rub his success in their faces. The Packers can wait it out, too. The drop-dead deadline isn’t until Week 1, which is when Rodgers’ $58.3 million option bonus becomes guaranteed base salary if not exercised. But do they want to get to the point where Rodgers is hovering over their franchise for the next weeks or months as his successor, Jordan Love, prepares to step into that job? Hard to imagine.
For an apt comparison, look at the NBA. When a superstar wants a trade, that player almost always gets his wish because the alternative — letting him destroy your franchise from within — is not worth the headache. What if Rodgers calls their bluff and announces that he’ll be ready for offseason workouts in Green Bay? What would the cheeseheads do then?as the only other option. But the idea that they need to get Rodgers to Florham Park for upcoming OTAs is silly. He is.
It might be the Jets. But given that we’re in this strange universe in which everything is going their way, maybe they’ll get this one right, too.
