Rodgers recruiting free agents?

Allegedly Aaron Rodgers is recruiting free agents to the Jets. This doesn't make sense. Help me here. If he's going around asking one player, or two (or more) to join the Jets. Why not tell Packers you wanna play in 2023 and yes, you'll play for Jets. I mean, wouldn't it be easier to recruit guys if a deal is at least announced (can't be OFFICIAL until league year).

There's just so much over-coverage of this and I'm being foolish trying to find logic and reason.

Packers and Jets probably know what's going on and have this entire time. But they're allowing Rodgers to break the news on his own terms.

Rodgers probably is not trying to attach all free agents, and can reach out to ones he wants because their number is in his phone already.

Lazard, Cobb, Tonyan, Lewis, maybe Adam thielen, etc.

Granted, that could be on strict orders from Rodgers. But again, my question is -- why not just let the news out? He really a stickler for not announcing anything until it can be official at start of league year?

Also according to Shefter, he thinks the Jets are possibly lying to him to let Rodgers break the news in the way Rodgers sees fit.

Rodgers wants to confirm his boys there first... it's a package deal remember?

If Rodgers cannot commit to Jets without guys like Cobb and/or Lazard, then I guess maybe he hasn't really made a decision then. Also, hard to think his decision to play would be multi-year if he's predicating on his playing on others playing with him. ALSO, this adds to my theory that football is more about the relationships to Rodgers than winning Super Bowl's. Granted, Rodgers said on McAfee if you're not playing to win it all, what's the point? 🤷‍♂️

I ran a few circles there.

How funny would it be if the jets sign Lazard, Cobb, and Mercedes Lewis, and then Rodgers retires anyway?

The Jets would have all these WRs and... checks notes... Zach Wilson to throw them the ball.

What are the odds that Jake Kumerow is on Rodgers' list of demands?

Get Rodgers, get his receivers too.

I'm assuming this is bad fan writing and jumping the gun because I can't find it anywhere else, but it's under the SI.com banner.

According to a Falcons SI page, "the Jets have also signed Allen Lazard" ...

Also noting the Jets might sign Cobb and important to the Falcons page and why they're reporting on it. The page is suggesting the Falcons might attempt to trade for the Jets current slot WR Eli Moore whom requested a trade last season.

Here's the aforementioned "shout" for some clarity.

"Rapoport saying he THINKS Cobb will go to Jets. Now watch, reports coming in that COBB TO JETS!!"

dfosterf (44m) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (50m) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

dfosterf (53m) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

beast (1h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (1h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (1h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

beast (8h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
