LET’S HEAR YOUR STORY
With Friday night marking the moment that the clock strikes 12 on a trade of Aaron Rodgers from the Packers to the Jets, it makes sense for the two teams to resume their communications. They reportedly have.
Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the two teams “recently re-engaged” on potential Rodgers talks.
“A deal is not imminent, but the two sides are at least talking — with hopes a deal can (finally) be done this week,” Rapoport tweeted.
Friday was always the target. At the latest, the deal happens when the Jets are on the clock with consecutive selections in round two.
The one thing the two teams don’t disagree on is the first piece of the multi-pick package: a second-round pick in 2023.The sticking point has become the compensation for 2024, and the protection for the Jets in 2025, if Rodgers doesn’t play beyond 2023.
Since the Packers seem to be determined to get a first-round pick in 2024, we recently suggested a formula that would start with a first-round pick and then drop if certain conditions are or aren’t met. If, for example, the Jets don’t win a playoff game, it drops. Or if, for example, Rodgers retires before April 1, 2024, it drops.
That’s a relatively meaningless twist on a formula that starts low and go up. By starting high, the Packers would able to puff their chests out a bit, with the message being sent to casual fans who won’t follow the various nooks and crannies of the sport that Green Bay got what it wanted, even if a year from now it doesn’t.
The best news from this not-unexpected news is that, hopefully, it will kill the vacuum-filling noise regarding the possibility of Rodgers being traded not to the Jets but to the 49ers. Again, that’s not happening unless and until Rodgers changes his “intention” to play for the Jets. Currently, it appears that his intention is on the verge of finally becoming a reality.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
