Rumor: Aaron Rodgers reached out to the Giants

[Jclayton92]

One desperate move begets another I guess...first Stafford, now Rodgers UGH!

I'd rather wait and see what happens with Cousins and/or Fields.

Cousin fell off a cliff this year with elite talent around him and we'd likely have to give up assests plus a fully guaranteed deal. Fields has thrown for even less yards and Tds than Jones, he's not an NFL starter, so why would we take those guys over a multi time NFL MVP, because he doesn't like vaccines? I don't care what they do in their free time if they can play ball.

Well, I'm thinking in terms of bridge and then solid back-up for either of them. I don't see Fields getting big money from anyone this offseason.

My idea was a wait and see on Cousins so that we're not giving up valuable assets or an enormous contract. If they have to give up real value it's an obvious pass. Also as an FYI, it's been reported that Cousins played through a right shoulder injury last year.

I am sharing these for informational purposes only.  I find these Rodgers rumors about as credible as the Stafford rumors.  Although, if the Giants can get Rodgers for the right price, it might at least make more sense that the whole Stafford trade BS.

Again, who needs the circus. He's known to want to do things his own way at the line of scrimmage, how will that work with Daboll? Well, do you think? What are the chances that he sulks if he doesn't have success and the Giants have brought in the staff or players he wants? Does everyone forget the garbage he pulled in Green Bay to get out?

And it's not that he doesn't like vaccines. It's that he refused to get one and then lied about it. And then he went on a bunch of podcasts and pretended he was the victim. He's an ass.

We are season ticket holders and die hards. I doubt I'd give up the team or our tix if we hire this bum, but I'd prefer not to have to deal with it.

He's a guaranteed 4,000 yard 30 td 10 int Qb that has won a super bowl and multiple MVPs of course there's going to be a circus. There would be a circus if pat mahomes, Lamar Jackson, or any other top tier qb moved to another team. The Giants haven't seen the level of qb that he plays at in a decade not to mention that we wouldn't have to give up capital to get him, and he'd likely come cheap.

So the best available qb for a reasonable price, no draft capital spent, and it allows us to wait to get a legit qb talent in 2026, and all we have to do is deal with additional media and the occasional weird interview.... I just don't see a negative especially with the qb play we've had the past decade.

I'm a season ticket holder and I know damn well that I'd rather see Rodgers on the field bombinh it to Nabors  Wandale, and actually using Hyatt than signing a bum just to wait and waste another year with the young talent we do have not developing because they haven't had a decent qb since they got to the team.

I am not a Rodgers fan, but if they signed him, the Giants would be tied to trying to move up to ensure they land a QB.  They could look at maneuvering around the draft board to get Dart, Howard, Schough, or maybe McCord.  Rodgers would take the pressure off Schoen and Daboll.  They could even wait to 2026 as you suggest.

[SlotCorner]

Oh guaranteed is he? What happened in his first year with the Jets? And now he's a year older.

"Additional media" is not what I'm talking about when I say the circus and you know it. It's everything Rodgers brings to the team especially when he's not happy, like when Hackett's not around. Is he going to ask the Giants to hire him? Who knows. My sense is that he'll have limited options, which might short circuit some of these demands but I expect him to try.

If the Giants are stupid enough to sign Rogers there would have to have guard rails in place with him. No appearing on the Pat Mcafee show, no disappearing to Nepal or whereeer he went, no demanding what players to sign , must appearf or all workouts whether voluntary or not and must be a mentor to any QB the Giants draft . He cannot run the team like he did  the Jets. Even then I am not sure I would want him.

One more thing, the Giants would have to upgrade their Ol especially with depth. If Rogers was signed for one year I might take a flyer on Zach Martin for one year .

[DaveBrown74]

I wouldn't take Rodgers for free. He's a dbag and would be a disaster in the locker room, particularly with Nabers.

I don't particularly want Rodgers either. I feel we can likely do as well or better for less money. My point was more to illustrate how strongly against trading away quality picks and handing out a huge contract to a 37 year old Stafford I am.

I believe Zack Martin retired

Not sure we can do "better"....Rodgers is an extremely high level performer. Many here posted they thought he would certainly lead the Jets to the Super Bowl last year. So to say we can definitely do better isn't necessarily an absolute in my opinion.

But it's a good debate to have.

[Ed Vette]

If they sign Rodgers, I'm pretty much done with this organization.

To clarify, I said "as well as or better." And I just said I felt that way, as in it's my opinion. Not sure what the "absolute" part is about.

The Jets went nowhere last year, and they have more talent on that roster than we do. Yes, they had poor coaching. Do we have great coaching?

In any event, I honestly don't really care that much which veteran QB we sign (if we do that at all), as long as it's not to some albatross contract. We're not going to be a contender next year. That is painfully obvious to anyone not wearing blue goggles. If it's Rodgers, that's fine. If it's Wilson, that's also fine. I'm fine with Fields too. Anyone that we're not going to be tied down to. Just don't do the Stafford trade. We can't be forfeiting high draft picks right now.
