FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- If quarterback Aaron Rodgers lands with the New York Jets in a trade, he would like to be surrounded by some of his BFFs.

The Green Bay Packers star has supplied the Jets with a wish list of free agents he'd like them to pursue and acquire, and it includes Odell Beckham Jr., sources told ESPN's Dianna Russini.

Predictably, the list also has three former Packers teammates: wide receivers Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb and tight end Marcedes Lewis.

Jets got two good young WR already. Why would they want Cobb or even Lazard? Only one that makes sense is Beckham. I mean yeh that's a nice Porsche and Ferrari ya got, but I want you to get this high mileage Buick and rusty Pinto!

Cobb is for making sure the Jets franchise know their place. They better hop to it or the price is gonna go higher.

Wouldn't mind extra compensation. Honestly I think Aaron could play 3 more years at a high level. Maybe more.

For an extra pick, maybe Gutey should offer to piss Aaron off a little on his way out the door. Extra motivation to show up in shape, light it up for the Jets.

Does anyone think that we will take any players coming back from the Jets? If they are going to sign all of Aaron's old friends you would think that they would need to shed some bodies to open up spots. I wouldn't mind a few of their rookie deal guys who may need a change of scenery. I was thinking about Mims and Becton. I'd be curious about Zach Wilson and whether him getting out of New York and having Clements get him some confidence could salvage his career.

I still think we might be sending Bahk if we could, that would help the cap for the future bigtime.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Looks like Lazard is a done deal. Now just need Cobb and u can pretty much count on Rodgers being a Jet next season

Allen Lazard going to Jets doesn't really mean much at all. He kind of said he was moving on anyway. Matching up with Nathaniel Hackett could be good.

HOWEVER, I wasn't expecting him to sign with a team where he'd like be no better than WR3, which makes me think a few things.

It's interesting how some keep living in denial of the situation.

You don't need to be in denial. It's a crazy overloaded discussion with a plethora of talking points going all different directions. It's all crazy go nuts!

Jets player said the package was coming, he was talking about the free agents that are coming with Rodgers...

Guess you didn't understand...

The Packers package is coming to NY (technically NJ)

Zero2Cool (1h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (1h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (1h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (3h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (14h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (19h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
