 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm interrupting the host of the show. Shephter reporting Aaron Rodgers to the New York show. How do you like them apples? I set it in a meeting today. What's going to happen? Wow. And do we have the details? There's so much going on. Yeah, let's get it. What's the details? All right, so according to Shephter's Twitter, the Jets get Aaron Rodgers, pick number 15, and in 2023, in a fifth round pick, the Packers get pick number 13, a 2023 second round pick number 42, a sixth round pick number 207, and a conditional 2024 second, that pick becomes a first. If Rodgers plays 65% of the plays, the deal is done. I got to tell you guys. Not bad. Joe Douglas is very good at what he does. I mean, essentially, he flipped the 13 for the 15. The other stuff doesn't concern me. That's what I'm saying. So wait, you get Aaron Rodgers, you go back two picks in the draft, and then you worry about giving up a sixth round pick number 207 overall, and a conditional 2024 second round pick. And then it could be a first round pick in 25. So he's got to pay 65% of two years, right, Anthony? Becomes a first rounder if he plays 65% of the plays. I think it's this year. Just this year? Well, it says 2024 seconds. So you'd have to think that since it's the next year's pick, you'd be worried about the season after this season. And that's a lot. So the 2024 pick becomes a first rounder if you play 65% of this year? Yeah. So you gave up a first round pick for one year? Now, the first round pick for the Jets could be awful if you play the girl. No, they're hoping it's 32. Right. Then you're not going to care. And they're hoping it's going to be a low pick. And then they have multiple second round picks. So you're giving up number 42 of the second. But you're not giving that up. Because if it advances to a one, then you're giving up the one, not the two. Basically this. You basically can ignore the first round, right? The 13th overall pick, a 2023 second round pick, a sixth round pick, and a conditional 2024 second round pick that becomes the first round pick. So they're still giving up a second round pick. That's the bigger one. The bigger one is the second round pick they lose Friday. Because basically the first round's a swap, right? 15 for 13, whatever. They weren't going to get a quarterback anyway. It's whatever. The fact they lose the second round pick is something. Sixth rounder you live with. And then to Michael's point, it looks like in all likelihood, that will end up then being another first rounder in a couple of years. I still think that's a pretty good job by Joe Douglas. Obviously, if Aaron Rodgers turns out to be Aaron Rodgers. I think it's a great job by the pack, too, if you want my opinion. No, it is. I mean, I think it's both general managers can feel good about themselves, especially the Packers, for what the draft equity they get. Michael, you were arguing about the third. There's a difference between 13 and 15. Oh, I know. So they did cave a little bit on the first round pick. They do lose two spots. But that fifth round, that second round pick's not nothing this year. No, it's a number 42 pick. It's a 40 number 42 overall pick in the 32 team league. It's the 10th pick in the second round. But isn't that the pick they got in the deal for them? Oh, yeah. They got multiple picks in the second round. That's why they felt like it was expendable. I just don't like that the next year's pick in 2024 becoming the first round of the play 65% of his games. But if you play 65% of his games, which and we know that means in year one, 65, has to be if it's the 2024 first round pick, right? Because next year is the 2024 draft. So all the only knowledge we'll have is what he played in the first year, because the second year would come after the 2024 draft. Well, guys, Chet fans, you have Aaron Rogers playoffs what Yankees who that's what? Let's go finally, finally. I told you, I didn't even sweat losing my job. His job. Thank goodness. Let's bring in a very rich Samini who's covered the Jets forever. So Rich, tell me about the the particulars in this and what do you think of what the Jets gave up? Thanks, Michael. Yeah, this came in about where we thought we were speculating on. So they're flipping places in this year's draft. So it's going to be they'll go from 13 to 15. And that's roughly the equivalent of a high fourth rounder. They're also giving up a fifth rounder this year. And check that they're also giving up a second rounder this year, the 42nd pick, which we know about. We've been speculating that for weeks. And also a sixth rounder. The thing that's a little bit interesting is next year, it's very likely that they're going to give up a first round pick next year, because it's a conditional second right now. And it goes to a one if he plays in 65% of the play. So if Aaron Rodgers is healthy next year, he's obviously going to play in that many plays. And so essentially what the Jets are giving up is like a second rounder this year and more than likely a first rounder next year to get Aaron Rodgers, which is pretty steep for a 39-year-old quarterback who, look, may only play one year. Yeah, I was interested by that as well. 65% of the play. So I hated math. How would that amount to maybe, what, three, four games? I mean, that could be the difference of you winning the Super Bowl and missing the playoffs. If he got hurt and missed like the last four games of the season and you missed the playoffs and they have to fork over a first round pick the next year, that could stay. Well, not only that, Don, because let's you think the worst case scenario, which you just described pretty well there, but say he decides after that to only play one year, the Jets quite likely are going to be in the market for a quarterback in the 24 draft and won't have their first round pick. So that's going to be, that's going to be, would be difficult and it's a very good quarterback class for next year, of course, with a couple of really good players in the 24 draft. So yeah, that's kind of the worst case scenario. The Jets obviously are all in here. This is Super Bowl or Bust. They didn't make this move to just sneak into the playoffs. Woody Johnson, gotta give him credit here. I mean, going all in, he stuck to his gun through this entire process. He could have diverted and maybe gone after a Ryan Tannehill or someone of that ilk, but he stuck to his guns and went for Roger. So Woody is all in. I will tell you this though, I think you just hit on it yourself. I think it's a lot to give up for guys going to play one year. I really do, maybe he plays two years, but if they don't want a Super Bowl this year, do I really feel good about giving up a first round pick next year for this guy for one year? Yeah, I think a couple of weeks ago, I know the Jets were looking for some protection on the back end, just in case he only played one year. They wanted the ability to maybe get back a pick in 2025 from Green Bay, but based on from what I'm seeing now, they're not getting any of that protection on the back end. What was Green Bay's leverage though, Rich? What was their leverage? Yeah, I don't know. They didn't have a lot of leverage here, Mike, because I thought the pressure was on Green Bay coming into this draft because they wanted to obviously get something out of this draft. The part we don't know yet is the contract. So I'm curious to see if Green Bay is eating some of that money. I would say that they would, based on the level of this compensation, because if the Jets are taking on this entire contract, which is $59 million this year, and giving up that compensation, that's an awful lot. I thought Green Bay would eat some, and maybe they have. I just don't know that part yet, but that's the part that we're waiting for to come out. Now, what was the motivation to have it happen now, especially with the reports that Rogers probably wasn't gonna report to the voluntary OTAs, or maybe not even show up till May anyway? Well, we're gonna have to get this done before the draft, just because of the salary cap implications. The Jets don't have a lot of cap bloom right now. They're under $8 million. Rogers is gonna be probably about $16 million on their cap. So they were gonna have to do different things and restructure some contracts ahead of him actually joining the roster, and perhaps his own restructuring of his own contract. So I think it gives the teams, and also gives the teams more of a runway into the draft. The Packers obviously have more draft capital to deal with, and the Jets are in a different position in some rounds. So it gives the teams a chance to let the dust settle and go into the draft. I know you have some writing to do, Rich. Thanks for popping out with us. All right, you're welcome guys. Take care. All right, that's Rich Samini. So the more I think about it, I think they gave up a lot. That's a lot. I really do. Obviously going 13 to 15, that's cool. The second rounder, that's cool. The first rounder next year because he is gonna play 65%. And if he doesn't play 65%, then the whole thing blew up in their face anyway. They're not making the playoffs with Zach Wilson as their quarterback. So now he's gotta play 65% of the plays because he is, even when he's heard he plays, he's a very, very sturdy quarterback. I think that's a lot. I think that's a lot for 39-year-old who might not play next year. What was the Jets' motivation to give that up? And what was the Packers' leverage? Now, what if the Jets feel very confident that he's playing two years? That's what it feels like to me. Does that change your take on it all, Michael? If they know, he's told them he's staying two years. Slightly. I think a lot more because then you don't necessarily care about the first round pick because you're not gonna be in search of a quarterback if you know he's gonna play in 2024. They must have some indication because I think this deal looks a lot better if you know he's playing in 2024. Now, that's a lot to have to go on because Rogers could very easily change his mind. He'd go into the dark room in the off season and say, well, listen, I was gonna play, but unfortunately, I'm not going to play. But this gives me an indication when they spoke to him, they must have some assurance that he has every intention of playing in 2024. Then that potential first round pick doesn't hurt as much. But like Rich said, Michael, if you've got to start over looking for another quarterback with no first round pick, then that's really gonna sting. Yeah.
