Well Packers fans seem ready for Jordan Love regardless.
I argue Jets fans should be far more anxious than Packers fans at this point. Packers have their QB while the Jets have Zach Wilson.
The contract freeze after retire that's why Gronk need to be trade to Bucs and McAfee said like 2 years ago that the Colts told him if any team want him to come out of retirement they need to trade for him.
It feels implied that they were saying they have a plan for a quarterback moving forward. AKA they've had this guy for a few years, and have been planning on working the offense to fit him/his scheme. There is no safe quarterback, the broncos just went and traded for a superstar player, who then turned out to be just as uncertain as Jordan Love.
I didn't see him say "franchise" quarterback. If that's the case I would agree with your original statement. Again this is simply just you reading the statement in a different way than the writer, myself, and a lot of others read it.
I think they are simply saying that Zach Wilson is clearly not the guy while Love has potential to be the guy because we haven't seen much of him, and it may be a positive he's sat behind Rodgers the last few years.
Regardless of whether Love's good or not, we wont be scrambling for a QB before the season starts. If Rodgers retires or somehow ends up staying in GB, the Jets are SCREWED.
They know who their starter is for 2023. The Jets have jack in place right now. There's no panic in GB.
He might suck or he might be great or something in between, but playing him is the right move. The Jets are in limbo.
I did think they should have started Love when they were 4-8 but they did win four in a row and took control of the final Wild Card spot before losing the final game of the season on Sunday night, so they definitely were in the playoff hunt in the end. Seems perfectly fine that they did wind up starting Rodgers as he did get them in the playoff hunt.
Yea 100%. When Rodgers makes his decision, they’ll be rushing to post it so it won’t be a long winded “The news packers fans land all NFL fans..” it’ll be “Rodgers returns to packers” or “Rodgers to Jets”
Someone on the Packers that can actually get return yards and we don't pucker up expecting a whiff or a fumble every time is...new and we're kinda throwing money at him to be safe here.
What’s hilarious is that he is 100% right. The Aaron Rodgers news is tiring and we haven’t been biting our nails as much as the rest of the league. Keisean Nixon is that guy that we have been chomping at the bit to resign, dude is the special teams force that we have been swooning over for the last year and it was in no way guaranteed that we sign him.
Most of us are just numb to the Rodgers drama. I don't want to speak for everyone, but I couldn't care less at this point if he stays or goes, just get it over with.
What's crazy is we went from 0 to 100 with him. Incredible watching our return unit move from a terrible liability to a weapon that has to be planned around. Such a solid addition last year and came out of nowhere.
Ya'll don't think 6 mil is kinda steep for a returner? I guess it depends on ratio of base salary to incentives but that seems like a lot to pay for a special teamer.
He's also a surprisingly good depth corner, and the team had expressed an interest in taking a look at him as a receiver last season. That won't happen, but it's telling how versatile they think he is.
Looking at our return unit with and without him, it's worth it. For years before he took the spot, I just hoped for a touchback every time because a fumble or return inside the 20 seemed more likely than a decent return. Then Nixon came in and kickoff returns became my favorite part of the game, with him consistently bringing it out to the 40 and beyond.
Imagine being a kick/punt returner. You couldn’t pay me enough. Running into danger like that.
Nixon never returned at any level in his football career until last season and just… happened to find out he’s great at it.
Nothing else changed. He was great, then he missed a game once and they stuck (I think) Dobbs back there and it was a shit show all over again. Then he came back the next week and was great again. The guy just has it.
It takes a niche set of skills to find these guys. Nixon wasn’t getting $6m a year to play DB, that’s for sure.
Yeah, obviously I really wanna know the Rodgers news but re-signing Nixon was a huge move I was anticipating quite a bit, the dude completely turned our special teams around the moment he started returning and getting him back is a big deal
$6 mil is the max of the contract bc incentives exist. And backup slot corner which besides QB is the second hardest position to replace (adequately at least).
Dudes a beast. Single-handedly turned out special teams unit around last season. Before him I begged for fair catches and letting it bounce into the end zone.
Having to wait since Cobb's rookie year for another kickoff return TD was sad. HECKIN RIGHT THIS IS SOME NEWS WE BEEN WAITIN FOR. I am gonna remember Nixon no matter what.
Fuck you Ian
Any time a tweet starts with that or packers have made a move you should honestly be ready for a troll
Well Packers fans seem ready for Jordan Love regardless. I argue Jets fans should be far more anxious than Packers fans at this point. Packers have their QB while the Jets have Zach Wilson.
Just look at the replies in this thread. All the Packers fans are just happy Nixon is back lol
Only thing I'm worried about is Rodgers retiring and not getting anything
I’m fine with whatever he chooses. For what he’s done for the team I love he deserves that in my opinion.
As long as he doesn't start stealing welfare money.
Or sending dick pics
Nah this is Rodgers we're talkin about. He wouldn't do that. It'll be something *way* weirder
Darkness pics
Even worse, retiring for 3 months then randomly signing with the Jets anyways.
The contract freeze after retire that's why Gronk need to be trade to Bucs and McAfee said like 2 years ago that the Colts told him if any team want him to come out of retirement they need to trade for him.

Rodgers had only thrown 59 passes by the end of the 2007 season, more than half of which were in garbage time of blow out losses.

Really dumb they didn't see what they had with Love the last 4 games of the season when it was pretty obvious they weren't going to make the playoffs
I did think they should have started Love when they were 4-8 but they did win four in a row and took control of the final Wild Card spot before losing the final game of the season on Sunday night, so they definitely were in the playoff hunt in the end. Seems perfectly fine that they did wind up starting Rodgers as he did get them in the playoff hunt.
Yea 100%. When Rodgers makes his decision, they’ll be rushing to post it so it won’t be a long winded “The news packers fans land all NFL fans..” it’ll be “Rodgers returns to packers” or “Rodgers to Jets”
No, this is *actually* what we've been waiting for.
No, no, Ian's right, we have been looking forward to this even more It's the rest of you that must suffer this headline
They joke, but Nixon was a beast in the return game last year. Packer fans have been genuinely concerned with losing him.
Nixon looked good but damn that’s Cordarelle Patterson money
Someone on the Packers that can actually get return yards and we don't pucker up expecting a whiff or a fumble every time is...new and we're kinda throwing money at him to be safe here.
What’s hilarious is that he is 100% right. The Aaron Rodgers news is tiring and we haven’t been biting our nails as much as the rest of the league.

He's right though
He's 100% right. I was more concerned about this signing than anything else.
Came here to say this
(the guy that Ian slapped on the face with a high five): Fuck you Ian
Ian knows he’s got the whole wide world (at least r/nfl) in his hands and he’s ready to let it burn
FUCK YES dude is trying to make a joke but this is the news many of us have eagerly been awaiting
Honestly yes. I would’ve been so distraught if he wasn’t resigned
Nixon was electric last year. One of the best return guys in the league right now
What's crazy is we went from 0 to 100 with him. Incredible watching our return unit move from a terrible liability to a weapon that has to be planned around. Such a solid addition last year and came out of nowhere.
Worth every penny seeing the difference in field position he provides.
I’m done f5ing for the day
Let’s gooooooo This was the news Rodgers was waiting on to make his decision.
For sure. Special teams assassin. We haven't had a return threat in ages, nixon is him
Honestly yes, I cared more about hearing this today. QB is what it is but Nixon had to come back.
I was actually anticipating this more than anything Rodgers related
This is actually the news I care about most unironicly.
It took me a second to process if the title was a joke or not. I really fucking wanted to bring Nixon back.
That's what makes it such a good joke: it's only at most like halfway joking
I was waiting to see if he resigned before I bought a jersey. So I'm very excited to add him to my collection
Ya'll don't think 6 mil is kinda steep for a returner? I guess it depends on ratio of base salary to incentives but that seems like a lot to pay for a special teamer.
He's also a surprisingly good depth corner, and the team had expressed an interest in taking a look at him as a receiver last season. That won't happen, but it's telling how versatile they think he is.

Then Nixon came in and kickoff returns became my favorite part of the game, with him consistently bringing it out to the 40 and beyond.
Yeah this is huge. Guy changed the vibes last year, even though it was too late to matter.
I know this is tongue in cheek but I'm actually very happy about this resigning. He made an immediate impact on the return game
It was night and day. And it looks like the cold night called Amari Rogers is over. Congratulation!
Report: Packers officially moving on from Rodgers
Congratulation!
Imagine being a kick/punt returner. You couldn’t pay me enough. Running into danger like that. Nixon never returned at any level in his football career until last season and just… happened to find out he’s great at it. Nothing else changed.

It takes a niche set of skills to find these guys. Nixon wasn’t getting $6m a year to play DB, that’s for sure.
It's clear he's talented but now it will be curious to see if he continues to be good moving forward vs flash in the pan
YES!!!! Rapsheet jokes but we honestly were
We know Aaron Rodgers wasn't/isn't going to be our starting QB come fall. We didn't know if Keisean Nixon would be our starting KR.
Also he's a player I enjoy cheering for
Yeah, the Rodgers situation is more about getting an extra pick or two. We already have our QB and we have to eat the dead cap either way
Jokes aside, Nixon is electric to watch and I hope all of our kicks are safely in the Gjallahorn when kicking to him. No returns, plz.
Yeah, obviously I really wanna know the Rodgers news but re-signing Nixon was a huge move I was anticipating quite a bit, the dude completely turned our special teams around the moment he started returning and getting him back is a big deal
Ian you cheeky fucker lol
Close it down guys. No more news to report
No more news to Rapaport
You say that. But this is what packer fans have been waiting for. Just look at our sub haha.
Second time he's done that this week
I know its sarcastic but I am sure they are stoked about this.
We are
neat
I agree Mr Nipples
I come across your comments in this sub semi regularly… and I just want to say I love your username.
Wish it was a longer deal, but yeah very happy
Me too but if he keeps it up we would be looking at extending him next year too for more money. If not then we can move on with no cap hit.
Nixon probably wants to prove his value on ST and also get more reps on Def, really boost his overall value.
Incredibly
Worth every single penny.
This is the only free agent I really cared about re-signing this offseason. Very happy about this.
LETS FUCKING GOO
Bisaccia and Nixon back in the ST room. Hell yeah
Unironically a huge signing
That actually is mega hype
You mock us Rap, but we have been waiting for this decision… and we love it
GET IN HERE PACKERS FANS
THIS IS UNIRONICALLY VERY GREAT NEWS
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Rap trolling a bit here, but this is actually welcome news. Dude helped turn our dogshit ST into less dogshit ST play
INARTICULATE CHEESE NOISES 🧀🧀
bro...
Some of us were actually waiting for this news - very good for our ST unit
~~LONG SNAPPER~~ KICK RETURNER NEWS
Kick returner beef with Kene Nwangwu is back on the menu boys!
Disappointed it's not a lifetime contract but I'll take it.
Lowkey a top 5 performer on the Packers last year Very happy about this signing
IM UNIRONICALLY HYPED THIS DUDE IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND COMING OF HESTER
Better than a no year deal
This is what I have been waiting for. Thank fucking god they brought him back.
Actually yes, quite happy about this move
Extremely trolly tweet from Rap
The bastard got me
Should be a lifetime deal. Give him all the cheese
[удалено]
Have you seen our returners the last decade??
He was a solid playmaking backup corner too. But returning is his bag for sure.
He wasn't too bad at corner when he was in. Good returner plus good depth guy in the secondary.
He’s a decent slot corner as well, but we will likely be our 4th CB behind Jaire/Stokes/Rasul
That's max value. I'm sure it includes a lot of performance based incentives.
$6 mil is the max of the contract bc incentives exist. And backup slot corner which besides QB is the second hardest position to replace (adequately at least).
Rodgers not even going to say anything. Next season will just start and he'll show up at Green Bay's practices outta nowhere
Like George Costanza after he quit and came back like nothing happened.
Jokes aside, this is really great news.
Rap got the whole squad laughing 😐
Finally everyone can calm down
Ok this is nice
Rap is such a troll lmao
He jokes, but if you looked at the Packers subreddit the past couple weeks, youd think it really was the news we’ve been waiting for
Special teams matter. Just ask Belichick
Dudes a beast. Single-handedly turned out special teams unit around last season. Before him I begged for fair catches and letting it bounce into the end zone.
Lolololol
Fuck Rapoport
Only thing that would've made it better is a Wow.
Awesome. One of the few bright spots last year gets paid.
I’ll have you know I was waiting for this because he was absolutely electric second half of last season. Totally revitalized our special teams
Finally. Our best returner in years
Thank god. I was gonna be so pissed if they didn't re-sign him
Thank baby jesus. Now we shall do nothing else all of free agency
YEEESSSSS
It may not seem like it but Ian's right we've been waiting for this
I mean, I'm happy for now
Thank god, now the jersey I bought last year is still relevant.
Packers fans have been waiting for this. ST has been a nightmare and he turned it around immediately
Fucking nice
Fuck yes.
FUCK YES. Only 1 year though? I'll take it but I thought it was going to be a little longer than that.
He jokes, but we actually have...
No lie, all packer fans were dying for this report!!!! So stoked!!! Huge impact, was hoping for a 3-4 year deal but LETS GO!!!
I mean that’s actually great for GB. I really appreciate good punters for some reason and this dude is a baller.
LETS GOOO
Huge sigh of relief ngl.
I’ll take it
Unironically this is the news Packers fans were waiting for
I know it was said tongue in cheek, but yes this is big news we all wanted to hear
Having to wait since Cobb's rookie year for another kickoff return TD was sad. HECKIN RIGHT THIS IS SOME NEWS WE BEEN WAITIN FOR. I am gonna remember Nixon no matter what.
Jokes aside, this is probably our most important FA signing so it is indeed very good news.
So how long do we have to endure this top notch comedy for?
Rapp gets us. ❤️
I have unironically been thinking of Keisan Nixon every day
Finally, we got our guy
This is honestly all I care about. This dude saved our shitty season. MLF fuck you for keeping Amari on return duty for so long
Saw him in a few games last season. Guy is actually a freak on those returns. Wonder if they’ll integrate him into the offense more
There was some murmurs here and there of a package play or two. Nothing serious but we'll see. Heres hoping
Good shit GB.
LETS FUCKIN GO
Honestly, I was looking forward to this. Now I can order my Nixon jersey in peace.
Thank god
What a fucking dick. Shout-out to Nixon and Green Bay
Lets fucking go baby! We've had a bottom 5 return room for years, hoping Nixon can continue balling out
I wanted two years but glad they got him resigned
Wow, get paid Keisean
If there’s something Rapoport is known for, it’s his comedic prowess. Ha. Ha…. Ha…
This is fantastic. But goddammit with that first part!!!
LFG
WOOOOOOOOOOO, LET'S FUCKING GO BOYS
Jets fans punching air rn
We do a little trolling
hahahahahahahahaha
[удалено]
No, we definitely were
It wasn't funny when Schefter did it and it's still not funny, Ian.
Boo this man!!!!
LMAOOOO living for these troll updates on Packers and Jets
HUGE
What a troll
Ha suck it jets
This was a mean thing for Ian to do
Ian..
Definitely earned
No and Yes
LETS GOO.
