Joe Banner does not understand the debate about whether the Packers or Jets have more leverage in the Aaron Rodgers trade discussions.
“For me, the Jets can wait without any risk or consequence,” said Banner, who helped build the Eagles into a powerhouse as the team president from 1995-2012. “The Packers, by waiting, risk that, for some reason, the Jets would not be interested, and then they have no one [to trade with], which really ruins their team for two, probably three years.”
Though it is clear the Jets don’t have any good alternatives at quarterback, Banner believes the Packers are in a tougher spot because there is no way they can take back Rodgers now.The Packers have made it clear they are ready to turn things over to Jordan Love, and Rodgers’ $60 million salary and the salary-cap charges that go with it could wreck the team.He said he would not even give up a second-round pick, but suspects the Jets eventually will.
Banner said the Jets could put a scare into the Packers by bringing in another high-profile quarterback for a visit. The Jets are in a strong position because no other team has shown any real interest in trading for Rodgers.
