You want Rodgers to feel comfortable and see value of bringing in a WR who knows the system but I know if I was a Jets fan I'd sure prefer to see Rodgers wanting to put in the work, starting about when he signs, with developing a rapport with the younger more talented WR's on the team. Something he failed to do last off-season with Doubs and Watson, don't think he worked out with them at all till he showed up for camp.
Maybe he'll be different this time but bringing in Lazard and Cobb make me dubious.

There are support groups for this kind of thinking, but anything's possible.

I don't see it. He's not a humble guy, and wants to streamline things. I feel its a long shot of him doing stuff like:
Working offsite with new WR's/inviting them on a "rapport" party
Showing up earlier than is required to help build chemistry
Not dictating who the WR's he will be working with
And lets not forget the NY media is expecting very big things if they get him. They won't be nearly as soft on him as that mini market in Wisconsin.

Maybe Cobb is a camp body, hoping to pass on his experience with Rodgers? Tell the players what he likes/dislikes?

Sure, great, but wasting any time on him right now is silly.

I'm so ambivalent on this, and so haven't been following. Is Rodgers a Jet or is he just stringing them along and squeezing them for every concession (Randall Fricken' Cobb!)? It reeks of desperation, which makes it a classic Jets move. Surround him with his veteran guys and abandon young talent. Make a playoff run or two. After this one, maybe two, year period, everyone leaves or is fired and the team has to "rebuild" and dig out from a salary cap hole.
It's so predictable and unsustainable, but the only thing the Jets have been able to sustain is losing so I guess we enjoy the ride now and pay for it later. Such a terrible franchise.

Rodgers has basically forced the Jets into desperation mode. They came into the offseason knowing their biggest need was a veteran QB but now there's basically nobody left except Rodgers. They pretty much have to give into whatever demands he has.

Make him choose between retiring and a team that doesn’t want him anymore. Nobody else is even interested.

Exactly. The team has no leverage, except the ability to walk away and go 3-14.
sure but those guys were good and Jets are in great shape at skill positions

The Jets are desperate. The Packers know they're desperate. They don't have to trade Rodgers just because the Jets need him. They don't have to do anything quickly because we all want to talk about it. They don't have to be reasonable either.

I hate to say it but I think the ship has already sailed on Zach. Those other 2 really could use an upgrade at QB. As Meatloaf used to say, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

I was excited about Rodgers, for Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore. Now that Rodgers is doing this stuff, I'm not sure.

Yeah and we know Wilson was excited yesterday thinking this happened but this might be in the careful what you wish for department.

Rodgers has to be joking. He wants them to sign a bunch of washed up receivers before he agrees to a trade? This can't be real.

Yeah seems such an odd list given the talent at WR in NY already.
Ive said to friends this was the first offseason that it wouldn’t bother me if Rodgers left. This stuff is just making it easier to me…

Anything less than, "I am excited to work with Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore" should be a disqualifying statement. This guy is not, never was, and never will be Tom Brady. If you are Tom Brady, you can make your demands and not come off as a total dipshit. When you haven't won anything of note since 2011, ask for the guys you have lost with for the last couple of years, rather than the young, talented group of guys on the team courting you.... well good luck to the team who gives in to those demands.

He was playing with a broken thumb last season, that I think impacted him more than anyone is willing to admit. I think the Jets will get some high level QB play from him assuming the trade happens.

was WR really a need for the Jets, or was this part of A-A-Ron’s list of demands?

There's two major changes right now
The packers have a lot more leverage now that Carolina moved to 1.1, the saints signed carr and Jimmy went to Vegas. They have no safety net. Fortunately for the Jets they know that green bay doesn't have much of a plan b for Rodgers either but they could be trying to squeeze a little more out of the deal.
But i think the main thing is the deal includes Rodgers getting a contract extension, and teams can't do that more than once a year iirc. So they're probably also signing these guys to their deals first so they can manipulate the years and bonuses on his extension accordingly.
