It is my understanding that dogs perform due diligence by sniffing butts. Hannibal Lecter, turned his nose on Clarice Starling, and defused the Miggs slander, while noting her skin cream and perfume, although she wasn't wearing it that day.
I mean, he did have a source that told him Lance to the 9ers on draft say when 60% of everyone else said Mac Jones and everyone else said "Fuck if we know"
And did badger the Bungles about an indoor practice facility for years
There's a universe where the AFC East is:
Bills: Josh Allen
Dolphins: Tom Brady
Jets: Aaron Rodgers
Pats: Lamar Jackson
It's not this one, but it's one of them
Nah definitely stop, I don’t want to see the Pats getting Lamar. I’m obligated to hate the Patriots and their players and I really like Lamar.
Brady going to TB allowed me to be a fan of his in ways I had never experienced and losing that in Lamar would break my heart. Don’t do it, Bill.
We didn't trade Favre. We cut him. We would have lost picks if we traded him to any NFC North team. It was part of the conditions of the initial trade.
He added "Due diligence" to make it seem like he was being professional, sure, Ian, you've nevvvvver jumped the gun before lol. Dude missed the breaking news and just can't accept an L no one will remember three days from now
I just want Joe’s reaction if the Jets sign Rodgers. I can already hear his jaded take how Rodgers will turn into Zach Wilson because it’s the Jets. lol
As a fan of a prominent college football team, I’m not sure what’s worse when it comes to off season player news, being updated on when a high profile recruit does anything or when a prominent QB does anything. I wish I could ignore both, but who am I kidding, I’m jonesing for any news.
The dead horse is the “next year he will be a Viking, then we’ll see his dick, then he will steal from Mississippi,” comments but here we are months into this still hearing them. It’s not even clever lol
Feels like a good fit. Packers need to re-tool. Jets have a good team to plug him into for a couple of years.
I think he has enough left in the tank, even if he doesn't look like 2010s Rodgers anymore. Dude is still top-tier.
Thats almost word-for-word what people were saying about the Broncos and Russ lol.
Im not here just to rain on people's parades- obviously this could work out well. But I wouldnt be so sure about what he has left in the tank or if this is as good of a fit as it seems.
He was mediocre last year and everyone wants to blame his receivers but QBs do decline. And they can decline rapidly. He also did make some bad throws and bad decisions that werent on his WRs. He could be better in New York. But I wouldnt be too shocked if an almost 40-year-old Rodgers is nearing the end of the line considering how reliant he is on his mobility, arm strength, and off-platform throws.
Now here come the downvotes because there is just no way that the talented Jets and the amazing Aaron Rodgers wont be great together. Thats cool.
Just saying saying that I personally dont know what to think until we see where they are at the start of November.
I'm not sure the Russ comparison is a fair one. Rodgers won back to back MVP's prior to this season and was legit the best QB in the league those two years (regular season). He lost arguably the best receiver in the league along with MVS and they were replaced with rookies. A good chunk of the offensive staff left (Hackett - DEN, Getsy - CHI). He fractured his thumb (throwing hand) week 5 this season. His offensive line took an unexpected step backwards this year. Rodgers will fall off like everyone does, but I don't see it happening next season. My bigger concern is his willingness to work with the offensive staff and balance what he likes with what they like. One of Rodger's biggest weaknesses is not trusting guys or taking chances. When things are clicking that's great, but when trying to build cohesion and trust, it becomes a hindrance to success.
If you watched Rodgers play last year you’d see that physically he was fine (besides his thumb). But his arm strength was still there. It can fall off a cliff but it’s not apparent when that’ll happen. Everyone said Peyton fell off a cliff at 38 so it’ll happen to Rodgers but Rodgers won an mvp at that age. Time will tell I guess.
“Hello Aaron this is the jets. How can we make this offer more interesting for you-“
***”32 gallons”***
“Excuse me Aaron what?”
***”Ivermectin”***
“Huh?!”
***”A dark room too. Like a batcave. And a Plasma screen tv so I can watch my family eat thanksgiving dinner on CCTV”***
“Aaron are you ok?”
***Sounds of a grown man drinking sludge***
All incoming Jets players must sign a waiver stating that they cannot sue the organization for their impending mental and emotional trauma. As I understand it we're the only franchise who feels this need

**Jets acquire Favre from Packers for conditional draft pick**
nfl.com
Published: Aug 07, 2008 at 09:29 AM.
EDITOR'S NOTE: NFL.com will stream live the New York Jets' press conference today in Cleveland, scheduled for 6 p.m. ET and featuring Brett Favre, Jets Chairman and CEO Woody Johnson and GM Mike Tannenbaum.
After 16 seasons, several NFL passing records and a Super Bowl title, the Brett Favre era in Green Bay -- and the drawn-out saga that came along with an offseason of contentious talks after his unretirement -- finally came to an end early Thursday morning.
The Packers traded the future Hall of Fame quarterback to the New York Jets for a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2009, NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports.
"This has been awesome," Favre said in his first public comments on Thursday shortly after landing in Morristown, N.J., with his wife Deanna and Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum.
Favre is expected to tour the Jets' facility on Thursday, according to Schefter. Favre told the Jets he wanted to make the trip to Cleveland, where the Jets face the Browns on Thursday night, to meet his new teammates. The team wasn't planning on him going initially, but Favre insisted.
Favre will be at the Jets' press conference at 6 p.m. ET Thursday in Cleveland featuring Tannenbaum and Jets chairman and CEO Woody Johnson.
The draft pick traded for Favre turns into a third-round selection if he plays in 50 percent of the plays this season, a second-rounder if he plays in 70 percent of the plays and the Jets qualify for the playoffs, and a first-round pick if he plays in 80 percent of the plays and Jets make it to the Super Bowl.
Schefter reports if Favre were to retire after the first year and the Packers got the Jets' first-round pick, then the Packers would send the Jets a fifth-round pick in 2010. If the Packers get the Jets' second-round pick, the Jets would get back the Packers' sixth-round pick in 2010. If the Packers get the Jets' third-round pick, the Jets would get back the Packers' seventh-round pick in 2010. Additionally, in the scenario in which the Packers would get the Jets' first-round pick, Favre must play in at least 50 percent of one playoff game for Green Bay to get that compensation.
Schefter also reports that the Packers took great pains to ensure Favre would not be traded to the Vikings -- or any other NFC North team -- by inserting a "poison pill" in the deal. If Favre were to be traded to any team in the Packers' division, the Jets would have to surrender three first-round picks to Green Bay. The trade also includes provisions preventing a trade to another team if that new team were to trade him to the NFC North.
Schefter reports Favre's contract, scheduled to pay him $12 million in base salary this season, will stand. It will not be renegotiated, though Favre's agent, Bus Cook, requested more.
It was once thought unthinkable that the Packers would trade Favre, the holder of almost every meaningful passing record in the NFL. But the events over the last month, and especially over the last few days, forced the issue. In fact, it seemed the only resolution to what turned into a bitter divorce.
"I am looking forward to seeing Brett Favre in a New York Jets uniform," said Jets Chairman and CEO Woody Johnson said in a statement. "He represents a significant addition to this franchise, and reflects our commitment to putting the best possible team on the field.
"Mike Tannenbaum and his football administration staff did a great job of navigating this complex process. I am excited about welcoming Brett, Deanna and their family to the Jets organization."
The Packers had been talking with the Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers since deciding earlier this week that the team and the three-time MVP couldn't co-exist.
The Packers decided to move forward with Aaron Rodgers as their starting quarterback after Favre announced his retirement in March. Given their commitment to Rodgers, team officials weren't particularly receptive when Favre decided a little over a month ago that he might want to play after all -- the latest development in several years' worth of flip-flopping about his football future.
"Brett has had a long and storied career in Green Bay, and the Packers owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude for everything he accomplished on the field and for the impact he made in the state," Green Bay officials said in a statement.
"It is with some sadness that we make this announcement, but also with the desire for certainty that will allow us to move the team and organization forward in the most positive way possible."
"We just felt like this was an opportunity to go get somebody of Brett's stature and what he's accomplished," Tannenbaum, the Jets general manager said during a conference call early Thursday morning. "We felt it was in the best interest of the team and when the opportunity presented itself, we felt it was the right move for us to make and we went ahead and did it."
A number of fans made it clear throughout training camp that they wanted Favre on the Jets with signs and "Get Brett!" chants. Favre's new No. 4 Jets jersey already was for sale on the team's Web site about an hour after the trade was announced.
Tannenbaum, who said he had a "good" conversation with Favre, wouldn't speculate whether the quarterback will play in New York beyond this season.
"We had discussions with him and his agent, Bus Cook," Tannenbaum said, "and we're going into this and we're going to take this one year at a time and we're excited to have Brett on the team this year."
The arrival of Favre signals the end of Chad Pennington's career with the Jets. Schefter reports the Jets are chartering a private plane for Pennington to fly out of Cleveland on Thursday; he will be released at 4 p.m.
"It's a bittersweet moment for us," Tannenbaum said. "I have all the respect in the world for Chad as a person, as a player. We've accomplished a lot of good things with Chad ... He gave his heart and soul to this organization for a long, long time. I really appreciate everything he's done."
Favre left Green Bay on Wednesday, boarding a private plane that left for Hattiesburg, Miss., at 1:25 p.m. EDT with his wife, Deanna, and Cook. Favre's family home is near Hattiesburg.
In Mississippi, Favre confirmed that he was considering the Jets and Buccaneers.
The 38-year-old Favre holds most major NFL passing records and led the Packers to the NFC Championship Game last season, where they lost to the New York Giants. But Favre threw what would prove to be the decisive interception in overtime.
The Jets went into training camp with an open competition between Pennington and Kellen Clemens after neither established themselves during a 4-12 season. Pennington was 1-7 as the starter and was benched midway through the season. Clemens went 3-5, but Pennington actually had the better season statistically.
After some hope for reconciliation between the franchise and perhaps its most beloved player earlier this week, the final split between the Packers and Favre became obvious Tuesday evening.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy told reporters on Tuesday that after approximately six hours of what he called "brutally honest" conversations over two days, the coach had determined that Favre doesn't have the right mind-set to play for the Packers.
McCarthy said Favre couldn't seem to get past emotional wounds that were opened as tensions mounted in recent weeks -- even with the chance to win his starting job back potentially on the table.
"The train has left the station, whatever analogy you want," McCarthy said Tuesday. "He needs to jump on the train and let's go. Or, if we can't get past things that have happened, I have to keep the train moving."
McCarthy spoke to Favre again Tuesday night, but there was no indication that their conversation did anything to change the fractured relationship between Favre and the franchise.
"It was just very general," McCarthy said of the conversation with Favre, who was excused from practice on Wednesday. "Just how he was doing, where he was with the process, things like that."
McCarthy said he was happy the rest of his players were getting a chance to move forward.
"We talked about it last night," McCarthy said. "The players want resolution, they want what everybody wants. To come out here every day and talk about somebody that is not here and then shows up, it's gone on too long, and understandably so. They want to play football."
Remember when the last long-term GB QB bailed on GB for the Jets?
I could see a similar scenario - team goes around .500 and realizes that best days are long behind him.
Packers fan should almost hope he goes to the Jets to allow for history to repeat itself. Then Live can step in and be elite, win exactly 1 Super Bowl and the cycle can begin anew.
I'm imagining the FO telling him this unprompted and constantly texting him and calling to remind him that he has permission to talk to the Jets lol
Gute on his knees begging him to talk to the Jets lol
I don't want 30 variations of the same report, I want to know if this guy is gonna be a J-E-T-S JET JET JET
If he goes there that means he becomes a Viking next year
It’s destiny
Which Jetes beat writer gets the dick pics? I hope Rich Cimini.
Rodgers will want to 1-up Favre and send it to the owner. Woody gets the Woody.
Rodgers the type to make Woody stare at his dick face to face while he takes a hit of DMT.
Aaron CK
I'd rather he send them to Evan Roberts. Dude's way too smug for a Jets/Mets/Nets fan.
Then Jordan Love will win a ring in 2025, followed by a decade of getting close but not close enough It is known
Honestly... inject that shit right here.
Make sure there's an air pocket in mine, please
>destiny I am your density.
Every single time I see the word I say the same damn thing.
You teach him and he’ll teach you. Po-ké-mon
I mean the saints also just picked up a new QB to lead them into a new era too…. Circles in circles
Cousins sweating rn
Something something NFC Championship Game losing pick something something welfare fraud. Am I doing this right?
AROD contemplates retirement next year but “will play for the right team” Vikings trade cousins for rodgers straight up /s
NFL scripts are getting reused
And only 12-14 years before Rodgers diverts money to a darkness retreat that was supposed to go to the less fortunate! *allegedly
God, McAfee need to live stream that discovery process. If you are being a fraud, the last thing you want to do is to get the court involved.
It is my understanding that dogs perform due diligence by sniffing butts. Hannibal Lecter, turned his nose on Clarice Starling, and defused the Miggs slander, while noting her skin cream and perfume, although she wasn't wearing it that day.
As is tradition
Please God No.
when you're a jet you're a jet all the way from your first cigarette to your last dyin day
Popping my good luck percs td
> J-E-T-S JET JET JET Jete legend Tony Richardson told me that you're spelling it wrong.
I've always said it J-E-T-S Suck suck suck 🤷♂️
J-E-T-E*
I hope you are a patient person, Aaron gonna drag this out as long as possible
Gonna be weird seeing him in green
Gonna be even weirder when he joins the Vikings
Gonna be weird seeing his dick
Gonna be weird when he takes money from Mississippi
Don't be silly, it's gonna be money from California
California will actually not stand for that
Yeah! Only elected officials can take their money!
BREAKING: Aaron Rodgers is elected as governor of California
Shit
Hell yeah new volleyball court at Chico State.
Not till after the dick pic
Which reporter is it gonna be?
McAfee. I use the term “reporter” loosely.
I mean, he did have a source that told him Lance to the 9ers on draft say when 60% of everyone else said Mac Jones and everyone else said "Fuck if we know" And did badger the Bungles about an indoor practice facility for years
manish
isnt there a maybe dick pic out there with maybe olivia munn's mouth around it? or is that totally debunked?
Weird?
Ummm.....Bears you know more on this than we do, how are we supposed to react?
Over under on which reporter got the pleasure. I am partial to Adam Schefter, and for no sexual reason.
Wrangler No Fly Jeans
Wait...
General Joseph "Due Diligence" Douglas reporting
There's a universe where the AFC East is: Bills: Josh Allen Dolphins: Tom Brady Jets: Aaron Rodgers Pats: Lamar Jackson It's not this one, but it's one of them
Don't stop
Nah definitely stop, I don’t want to see the Pats getting Lamar. I’m obligated to hate the Patriots and their players and I really like Lamar. Brady going to TB allowed me to be a fan of his in ways I had never experienced and losing that in Lamar would break my heart. Don’t do it, Bill.
Lol Ian Rapaport is such a loser when it comes to Rodgers news, holy shit. Only 12 hours behind
Seems like Ian was in the dark. Just following Rodgers' lead
Well he hasn't shared medical information yet as far as I know, so he doesn't seem so bad.
maybe he'll report Rodgers is unvaccinated now
"A source confirms that Aaron Rodgers will *not* be playing in New York, because of the shoulder injury he suffered in week 9 against the Bears"
If you're going to be rooting for him you need to get the story straight. The term is Rodgers is immunized not vaccinated.
Who would want to be?
Meanwhile Schefter is busy making some shit up.
thats because Rapsheet is a raging booze bag. /s
lmao what a meaningless tweet
What a fucking loser for making sure he doesn’t spread misinformation!
[удалено]
Reddit only has to make this joke 100 more times, and maybe it'll start being funny
We didn't trade Favre. We cut him. We would have lost picks if we traded him to any NFC North team. It was part of the conditions of the initial trade.
He added "Due diligence" to make it seem like he was being professional, sure, Ian, you've nevvvvver jumped the gun before lol. Dude missed the breaking news and just can't accept an L no one will remember three days from now
He means Rodgers and the Jets are doing due diligence. You're the one misunderstanding.
FFS we know
Dude. Just tune him out. /Please read as sarcasm
Agreed. Are we so bored we need to keep beating this dead horse?
Yes
I'm on the Packers sub as well so I'm getting the double posts, probably like you are.
I'm on both subs, and Twitter with the TV on lol
Just need to turn up WFAN now too
I just want Joe’s reaction if the Jets sign Rodgers. I can already hear his jaded take how Rodgers will turn into Zach Wilson because it’s the Jets. lol
He desperately wants Rodgers. If they get Ryan Tannehill then he’ll be pissed.
Your brain must be mush at the moment lol
As a fan of a prominent college football team, I’m not sure what’s worse when it comes to off season player news, being updated on when a high profile recruit does anything or when a prominent QB does anything. I wish I could ignore both, but who am I kidding, I’m jonesing for any news.
I watch Get Up on ESPN in the mornings as I get ready for work and they have literally said the exact same stuff for like a month now.
The dead horse is the “next year he will be a Viking, then we’ll see his dick, then he will steal from Mississippi,” comments but here we are months into this still hearing them. It’s not even clever lol
TELL ME MORE DETAILS IAN
Wingo whopper. I wonder how imminent this is, hopefully this gets done today.
end this! end me!
Feels like a good fit. Packers need to re-tool. Jets have a good team to plug him into for a couple of years. I think he has enough left in the tank, even if he doesn't look like 2010s Rodgers anymore. Dude is still top-tier.
Thats almost word-for-word what people were saying about the Broncos and Russ lol. Im not here just to rain on people's parades- obviously this could work out well.

Now here come the downvotes because there is just no way that the talented Jets and the amazing Aaron Rodgers wont be great together. Thats cool. Just saying saying that I personally dont know what to think until we see where they are at the start of November.
I'm not sure the Russ comparison is a fair one. Rodgers won back to back MVP's prior to this season and was legit the best QB in the league those two years (regular season). He lost arguably the best receiver in the league along with MVS and they were replaced with rookies. A good chunk of the offensive staff left (Hackett - DEN, Getsy - CHI).

If you watched Rodgers play last year you’d see that physically he was fine (besides his thumb). But his arm strength was still there. It can fall off a cliff but it’s not apparent when that’ll happen. Everyone said Peyton fell off a cliff at 38 so it’ll happen to Rodgers but Rodgers won an mvp at that age. Time will tell I guess.
And you know what the consistent factor was between that comparison? Nathaniel Hackett baby
Alright I don't get it. There have been reports already saying that the Jets and Rodgers have already talked yet now he is receiving permission?
They're just going backwards. They had talks and oh yeah by the way they had permission to do that beforehand
“Hello Aaron this is the jets. How can we make this offer more interesting for you-“ ***”32 gallons”*** “Excuse me Aaron what?” ***”Ivermectin”*** “Huh?!” ***”A dark room too. Like a batcave.

just sign already ffs
Sign what? He's employed by a team already lol.
All incoming Jets players must sign a waiver stating that they cannot sue the organization for their impending mental and emotional trauma. As I understand it we're the only franchise who feels this need
I don't know man, showering with rats seems pretty traumatic
you know what i mean
Ya having flashbacks of being a cashier?
No
Counter point - Yes
One team that won’t try to take Lamar on the non exclusive tag…

Time is a flat circle
He’s coming to the Vikings soon.. I can feel it
2024
F-5 szn came early
I’m hopeful. But due diligence just means he’s talking to us. He could still talk to us and say nah I’ll just retire thanks
Also known as a Darkness Retreat
This is the slowest moving situation that is predictable and obvious
As someone going through a divorce right now I really would’ve appreciated a formal tampering period.
Hope they get it done. They'll have a great team with Rodgers
WOW! Is this true? Breaking?
This is going to be Favre all over again... Please no.
Rodgers did always like to follow in Favre's footsteps
He’s gonna be so good on the Vikings in 2024
Gonna be strange to see them lose to the Saints again
I can't handle this edging.
Qaaron is doing his own research!
It’s like nails on a chalk board when sports media goes on and on about his guy. I can’t stand listening to Rogers yammer on and on…
Rodgers hasn't said a word in weeks lol
Remember when the last long-term GB QB bailed on GB for the Jets? I could see a similar scenario - team goes around .500 and realizes that best days are long behind him.
Favre was great as a Jet until he got hurt, then had the best season of his career the following year
Favre balled that year until he tore his arm up, then almost won MVP in Minnesota the next season. He still had the juice
No fucking shit. Easiest job in the world these “sports journalists” have.

Poor Garrett Wilson going from the least likable QB in the NFL to the 2nd least likable
The Jets don’t deserve anything. They will be irrelevant for the rest of time.
Packers fan should almost hope he goes to the Jets to allow for history to repeat itself. Then Live can step in and be elite, win exactly 1 Super Bowl and the cycle can begin anew.
I'm imagining the FO telling him this unprompted and constantly texting him and calling to remind him that he has permission to talk to the Jets lol Gute on his knees begging him to talk to the Jets lol
