I've been away for about a week, and this has been nagging me. When Beerfish "missed" my joke upthread, that was a clear indication that I'd been the one that missed the mark. I'd failed to communicate humor. I just wanted to drop an apology here to mousestalker, in the event that my joke also fell flat with her. I meant my response as a humorous retort, not a serious rebuke, and I can see where it might've gone terribly wrong. 😖 This thread is one in which I only ever see quality posts from people whom I respect and like. It definitely wasn't my intent to ruin that great vibe or offend anyone. So, again, apologies to mousestalker, Beerfish, and whomever else I might've offended. It definitely wasn't my intention, and I'm glad it was called to my attention. I wish I could now post about some of the interesting NFL rumors and happenings, but I gotta run. I only had a few moments to spare.

I agree with your take, bad move by the Panthers imo. No single QB worth trading all those assets for this season.

I can't wait for Beerfish's reaction if/when NYJ acquires Aaron Rodgers.
For my part (Packers fan), I think it is time to turn the page. Rodgers even with his clear physical decline is still a viable starting QB for at least a couple more seasons, but at this point, he kinda needs the right situation to thrive. Green Bay is not a -bad- situation for him but it's just not one that makes sense for either side: we do not have the resources to support him due to his contract and others that we took on in an effort to try to make a championship push (the bill has come due on a lot of those moves), and Rodgers's level of play is not good enough to make up for the lack of resources and resulting roster weaknesses.
But a team that's just a QB away and has the resources to make a push for a few seasons, like the Jets, that makes a lot more sense.
I think he can still take a team to the playoffs. SuperBowl appearance? Doubtful, but Denver went the distance with a decepit Peyton Manning, who was also a playoff choker and was more washed up than Rodgers is today, so it's not a crazy idea. The first step is always to make the playoffs, and then anything can happen from there.

We're finally starting to see where Free Agents are landing. I am, of course, particularly tuned into where Eagles' FAs go. We knew we'd lose a bunch of guys, and a few have now found their destinations.
Javon Hargrave has been a top-shelf DT. There was no way Philly could afford to keep him. He is signing with SF. That great defense just added a great interior lineman. Their DL has been good, but not elite. Now, Bosa will have some help, in terms of pass-rushing. It will be interesting to see what teams try to do when they line up beside one another.
TJ Edwards, a good ILB from Philly, is signing with Chicago. So far, I think their efforts to reload their talent-bare roster is off to a good start. It would be nice to see the Bears become competitive once more.
Jason Kelce and Brandon Graham have both signed one-year deals to keep playing in Philadelphia. I was prepared for them to retire. I hope the old goats can continue playing at the high level we've always gotten from them. Even putting aside the football, they're all-time greats and favorites. They're both such good guys.

Rodgers is playing he jets for the fools that they are. He is now effectively the gm of the team. As the jets are going after every packer jag player just to a appease a 39 year old guy who is in for two years max.

As the jets are going after every packer jag player just to a appease a 39 year old guy who is in for two years max. I hate it. They're desperate to banish the past and win with that roster, so I get it; but Rodgers gets way more deference and clout than he deserves. He's an all-time talent and an all-time underachiever. I wish they weren't in a position to need him. They're loaded with young talent. They don't need to waste precious cap space on washed up dudes like Randall Cobb. They don't need to trade away young talent or draft capital for David Bakhtiari. (The Pack wouldn't trade him anyway.) They don't need Odell Beckham Jr. They signed Lazzard, and he should be a good addition. Rodgers has allegedly requested that the Jets try to acquire all those guys I named and more. Like you say, is he now GM? Aside from QB, they're doing pretty well drafting talent. Rodgers should stick to QBing. Even with him, I have a hard time seeing them beating the Bengals and Chiefs. They may not even win their division. Yes, they'll be really good on paper, but I trust Rodgers less than Burrow and Mahomes. He's never won when he is supposed to win. I wish them the best. I'd love to see them winning again.

Philly managed to keep James Bradberry. I really hope they can re-sign CJ Gardner-Johnson, as well. I thought they'd lose both, so I'm feeling better about the secondary than I was before this announcement.
With Jason Kelce back, G Isaac Seumalo will likely depart. He can get paid really well elsewhere. He's a good player and very smart. I wonder if we will see Cam Jurgens play RG for a year before replacing Kelce at Center?
They also signed former Seahawk RB Rashaad Penny, and re-signed Boston Scott. There was no way they'd be willing to meet Miles Sanders' market value. The Eagles don't invest big money at RB. Penny has a great career YPC. If he can finally stay healthy, he can really thrive in Philly. We'll see.

I came to see if themikefest had posted Rodgers' statement yet, and of course he had. 👍🏻 Good luck to Jets fans. You're roster looks amazing. The Eagles are releasing Darius Slay. He had another strong season, but he's 32yo and looking for one last payday in the next 12 months or so. He'll be missed. I wish him success and dollars with a team and in a way that doesn’t negatively impact the Eagles. The hope is that those saved dollars will help the Eagles secure CJ Gardner-Johnson, the 25yo Safety who was amazing in his first year at the position.

Darius Slay has signed an extension with the Eagles, meaning the All Pro/Pro Bowl duo is intact.
The Eagles were expected to get gutted, but so far it's gone better than expected. These guys really wanted to stay, which is very nice to see.
They've so far only lost: * Hargrave to SF (that one hurts, but expected) * Miles Sanders to CAR (replaced by Penny) * TJ Edwards to CHI (to be replaced by Nakobe Dean, we hope) * Kyzir White to ARZ * Marcus Epps to LV (I like him, but meh) * Andre Dillard to TEN (he was a former 1stRd who lost his job to a rugby player)
CJ Gardner-Johnson is still a FA. They're working on a deal. I hope they can make it work. He has perennial All Pro characteristics.
They've added a few pieces, too, and will get compensatory picks for the lost players. Hargrave brings a 3rd, so not shabby.

Jets finally traded for Rodgers, paid a big price to do so. This is a huge risk reward move by the jets.

I think it’s crazy the jets went for a declining Rodgers who will retire any year now. I don’t think they still have the pieces to contend but this trade makes it a Super Bowl or bust deal now. The packers win freeing up that cap space, getting them picks and getting to finally move onto Jordan love and seeing if he’s their guy.

DRAFT Night! Also known as the NY Jets super bowl. Jets only have 5 picks this year. Should be a whacky draft though, we basically know who the 1st pick is going to be but after that it is totally up in the air.

My Panthers go with Bryce Young. I was leaning towards Stroud because he's bigger, but Young has the mind. Hopefully he will be what my team needs to do better than what they've done the last few seasons.
Now for the WOW. Texans not only get Stroud at #2, but very aggressively traded up for the #3 pick to get Will Anderson. I'm sure Texans fans will be wanting to see results immediately this season.
Note: I'm a Alabama fan. It was good to see two players from the Crimson Tide go in the top 3
