Giants have made it clear they are happy with DJ and that DJ will be back.
The Rodgers stuff was funny. Some people said he preferred the Jets. Some said he preferred the Raiders. Going for Rodgers is a win now move. Nothing wrong with that but it is what it is. Superbowl or bust in 2023 or 2024. He is will be 40 during next season.
Jets don't need to make a long term move locking in a question mark like Carr or Jimmy G. A move for Rodgers that doesn't include trading premium picks is my preference, especially since it might be the only cap hit they can afford for this coming season. They did the same with Brett Favre who as a 39yo led the Jets to a winning season before drafting Sanchez.

Still I think the younger Carr may make more sense depending on what it takes to get him.
Ignoring trade pieces, getting Carr would result in a cap hit of $33 million in 2023. If someone traded for Rodgers they'd have to exercise his 2025 option in which case the cap hit would be just $16 million in 2023. They'd have 2 years to make room for the bigger cap hit in later years but Rodgers would probably retire before the contract was over. I think that's doable for the Jets and is probably cheaper to trade for considering the packers cap hit otherwise.

I do not know all the details so I do not want to speculate. I will say the Rodgers I saw this season was not the Rodgers of old. Will he bounce back? Possibly but you better have a good line. His days of running are in the past.

D'oh!
As a Jets fan, I've been relieved to see all the stuff connecting Rodgers to the Raiders yesterday. I really don't want the Jets to massively overpay for what amounts to a Favre situation with Rodgers. I'd rather get a few years out of Carr/Garoppolo and give up way less to do so.

Never thought in a million years the Jets would have an offensive anything of the year. We’ve had DROY before

D'oh!
It's about time Klecko gets in the Hall, took them long enough!
Also, considering how much of a dumpster fire our QB situation was, to have #17 take home OROY is impressive!

Klecko was a 1st team All-Pro at 3 positions. Should've been in 20 years ago at least.

That’s an unacceptably soft call to decide the Super Bowl on. You can’t throw that flag inside 2 minutes of a tie game. I wanted KC, but I hate seeing any championship decided this way. Give the ref the MVP.
