I had a very similar take on my (much less widely read) Substack yesterday. We both shied away from specifically naming what we would offer in the Jets' place. I can't rationally come to the conclusion that Rodgers, at his age and with that contract, is worth more than a fifth round pick or so, but I do think the Jets should be willing to overpay a bit given that the possible upside is winning a Super Bowl this year. Do you have an idea of what you would be offering?
I just don't get what options they have. I could be wrong and maybe there will be another team in Early June who will be willing to give more and Rodgers will get on board going to. Doesn't seem likely

My suggestion post-draft is a third-round pick in 2024 just to get it done.
Sounds about right, though I wonder whether Packers would take that.
