LOL, and looks like I eat crow on this one.

Swapped a 6th for a 7th, but even so. That's in the direction of ugly but probably a good move. Would have been bad chemistry to carry him into the pre-season workouts.

It is what it is at this point. There's no reason to take a bad cap hit if it can be avoided

What I'm reading is that the initial report got it backwards. Jets are giving up their compensation/7th rounder (I've seen it listed as both 256 and 257) and getting the Bronco's 6th rounder (couldn't find the number but it should be around 200, maybe late 190s).

EDIT. Jets are getting pick 207 for pick 256. Moving up 49 spots. I think that's originally the Niner's 6th rounder, not Denver's.

Edit 2 - Sporting news says the Jets got pick 203. Whatever it is, they moved up a bit. Trading the 2nd last pick in the draft for a mid 6th rounder. And saving 2.75 off the cap. It's not much but it's something.

Denver gets to gamble on a guy who maybe doesn't belong in the NFL, but might . . . just maybe . . . get better.

Denver's going to have a fun camp trying to figure out which of their QBs should start. That might almost be fun to watch. Jets get something for dumping Zach. I'd give this trade for the Jets a C, maybe a C+, and for Denver . . . it's a hail Mary. I don't know how to grade a hail Mary until after the fact, so grade for Denver - incomplete with a "what the hell" thrown in. But, gun to my head, Denver gets a D.

It would be funny if they draft a QB and throw him in the mix this pre-season.

Good riddance.

Getting out of half of his salary for a third string QB is a nice surprise. By the time Rodgers is gone, maybe Arch Manning is there for the Jets?

You guys keep your filthy hands off of Arch. He's ours!!!

I’d take Joe Willie back in a heartbeat.

Wheel him out boys!

Oh our hands are filthy, they're...gangrene.

Arch is years away. Even if Rodgers gets injured again/sucks, I think you underestimate what Jets fans can sit through if it ensures a high draft pick. Have you seen what we've thrown out there under center since Chad Pennington?

Yeah I'm just playing I doubt my team will come within striking distance of Arch.

I remember the days of Brooks Bollinger. Or hearing phone calls on WFAN of desperate fans begging for Bryce Petty to start.

Dark stuff tbh. Jets fans are a tough breed

All my Giants family and friends have stopped picking on me. They're at the point of feeling sorry or they know there's nothing they could say that would make me feel worse about being a Jets fan. There's even a hint of respect there.

I loved Chad. Too many injuries unfortunately.

I thought you guys are looking to trade up into the top 4 to draft a franchise caliber QB? One report is that the Giants are talking with the Patriots on moving up to the 3rd spot or with the Commanders for the 2nd spot.

As far as the Jets and Arch Manning? It'll never happen. They'll **** it up by winning some meaningless games (like they always do after they're out of the playoffs...the old "moral victories" and "building for the future" victories) and drop out of range to take Manning. Like the freaking Knicks did when they won that meaningless last game with the likes of Ron Baker and Maurice NDour.

Do the Jets let Rodgers take any snaps during preseason?

I love Jets fans, honestly I've never seen a reason as to why Giants and Jets fans would beef with each other. I wish you guys would get over the hump and win a championship, those Rex Ryan teams were fun as hell to watch.

He might be too busy taking psychedelics for preseason snaps tbh.

I want the Giants to draft Harrison Jr, Nabors or Odunze. All this foolishness about a QB is pure smoke imo

If I was a Giants fan, I'd be rooting for a 1-16 season and a #1 overall pick. Not out of disrespect. In 2020 I was rooting for my Jets to get the #1 overall and get Lawrence. Granted, Lawrence isn't a generational talent, just a nice QB, but I was still heartbroken when the Jets were lined up to get him and then did something stupid and won a couple games.

I'm sure, in about 3 years from now I'll be rooting for the worst record in the NFL for my Jets again.
