I'm not sure what's more comical, the Rodgers saga or the Lamar contract gong show.
"My intention was to play, My intention is to play for the Jets" as of Friday. He said it's more GB digging their heels into compensation in a trade. And he's acknowledged his time is over with the Packers.

I just saw a meme that said:
Aaron Rodgers asks the Jets to acquire Jordan Love so he can sit on the bench behind him for a couple seasons.

So, he was 90% retired until he found out that GB wanted to deal him. Now he wants to play for the Jets out of spite for GB? Huuuuge red flag here. If the Jets do get him, they deserve everything they get with this guy.
Call me old one more time.

His timeline was he went into the darkness retreat 90% retired and GB telling him they want him back. He leaves the darkness retreat ready to play another season and GB telling him it's Love time.
Unreliable narrator though, but it sounds like he was ready to come back before knowing his time in GB was "officially" done.

I hate that I've landed here, but I want out of the Lamar Jackson business as a Ravens fan. I hope he gets his and remains an exciting player, but in a division with Joe Burrow and a conference with Mahomes, Herbert, Burrow, Allen, Lawrence and now Rodgers on the way, the Ravens really can't afford to pay full freight for a guy who isn't even top 5 in the Conference, let alone the league. It doesn't help that QB contract growth is now charging far past what rookie salaries are so the difference between rostering a rookie or a full freight starter $45-50 million is like 4-5 good starters at other positions.
If I trusted Lamar more from a health standpoint or in his ability to get mano e mano against the absolute best and make it more of a coinflip then I'd be begging the team to back up the Brinks truck. Instead, I'm wishing he'd take less so they can build around him better, or that someone else pays him to end the saga and move on to a cheap option even if it's inferior.
I'm certain this is a spoiled opinion and that replacing Lamar will prove impossibly difficult. But I've rooted for this team since they were winning the Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer. I can live without having The Guy, especially if the guy isn't really The Guy.
But I also know that this saga almost certainly won't end. At least not until he's played through two years worth of franchise tags with endless hold-ins and contract speculation and consternation. Oh well, maybe he'll be healthy next December and the team can go on a run.
Jets signed Hardman (WR). Weird considering they have already a deep WR core (Wilson, Moore, Lazard, Davis, Mims, Hardman)

Ya, I like Cleveland in this trade. Moves 32 spots and gets Moore. But I guess the NFL thought is that 32 picks could get our a Moore.
I've never liked how valuable teams think picks are over players (non-top10 picks). But that's salary and injury risk based I guess.

Sounds like OBJ to the Jets could happen.
