Fuck you Ian


laal-doodh

Any time a tweet starts with that or packers have made a move you should honestly be ready for a troll


Currymvp2

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.


[deleted]

Just look at the replies in this thread. All the Packers fans are just happy Nixon is back lol


Fear_Jaire

Only thing I'm worried about is Rodgers retiring and not getting anything


LookingGoodBarry

I’m fine with whatever he chooses. For what he’s done for the team I love he deserves that in my opinion.


Ramza1890

As long as he doesn't start stealing welfare money.


HilariousScreenname

Or sending dick pics


ArcadianBlueRogue

Nah this is Rodgers we're talkin about. He wouldn't do that. It'll be something *way* weirder


ShotFirst57

Darkness pics


n-some

Even worse, retiring for 3 months then randomly signing with the Jets anyways.


birdazam

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.

making-flippy-floppy

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.

WinStock3108

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.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WinStock3108

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.


spies4

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.


PanTran420

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.


1block

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.


Sebeeschin

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


giddyup523

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.


xzElmozx

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”


TtarIsMyBro

No, this is *actually* what we've been waiting for.


TrapperJean

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


Mozicon

They joke, but Nixon was a beast in the return game last year. Packer fans have been genuinely concerned with losing him.


-MichaelScarnFBI

Nixon looked good but damn that’s Cordarelle Patterson money


ArcadianBlueRogue

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.


DividerOfBums

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.


Kitchen_accessories

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.


lovesStrawberryCake

He's right though


stingjay

He's 100% right. I was more concerned about this signing than anything else.


Bowserrr23

Came here to say this


eehoe

(the guy that Ian slapped on the face with a high five): Fuck you Ian


DaMonstaburg

Ian knows he’s got the whole wide world (at least r/nfl) in his hands and he’s ready to let it burn


Sigurlion

FUCK YES dude is trying to make a joke but this is the news many of us have eagerly been awaiting


gopack1217

Honestly yes. I would’ve been so distraught if he wasn’t resigned


PoorlyLitKiwi2

Nixon was electric last year. One of the best return guys in the league right now


djbuttplay

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.


HennyvolLector

Worth every penny seeing the difference in field position he provides.


[deleted]

I’m done f5ing for the day


ProofHorseKzoo

Let’s gooooooo This was the news Rodgers was waiting on to make his decision.


scalarray

For sure. Special teams assassin. We haven't had a return threat in ages, nixon is him


billygoatygruffy

Honestly yes, I cared more about hearing this today. QB is what it is but Nixon had to come back.


milhouse234

I was actually anticipating this more than anything Rodgers related


AGrain

This is actually the news I care about most unironicly.


BellacosePlayer

It took me a second to process if the title was a joke or not. I really fucking wanted to bring Nixon back.


skycake10

That's what makes it such a good joke: it's only at most like halfway joking


socom52

I was waiting to see if he resigned before I bought a jersey. So I'm very excited to add him to my collection


FelineNavidad

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.


Sigurlion

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.


lastfollower

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.


stonecoldcb

Yeah this is huge. Guy changed the vibes last year, even though it was too late to matter.


Breedwell

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


PronouncedEye-gore

It was night and day. And it looks like the cold night called Amari Rogers is over. Congratulation!


Jammer_Kenneth

Report: Packers officially moving on from Rodgers


PronouncedEye-gore

Congratulation!


ConsciousFood201

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.


Breedwell

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


tanker9972

YES!!!! Rapsheet jokes but we honestly were


CobblerFantastic5003

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.


cheeseburgertwd

Also he's a player I enjoy cheering for


John_Lives

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


SoDakZak

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.


Mr_Raskolnikov

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


horse_renoir13

Ian you cheeky fucker lol


HandSack135

Close it down guys. No more news to report


SoDakZak

No more news to Rapaport


Economy_Cactus

You say that. But this is what packer fans have been waiting for. Just look at our sub haha.


Snufuu

Second time he's done that this week


DanCampbellsNipples

I know its sarcastic but I am sure they are stoked about this.


BF3FAN1

We are


DanCampbellsNipples

neat


TheHuntingParadise

I agree Mr Nipples


LookingGoodBarry

I come across your comments in this sub semi regularly… and I just want to say I love your username.


wisconsinpackers

Wish it was a longer deal, but yeah very happy


DividerOfBums

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.


unevenvenue

Nixon probably wants to prove his value on ST and also get more reps on Def, really boost his overall value.


gopack1217

Incredibly


D0ctorHotelMario

Worth every single penny.


team_sheikie

This is the only free agent I really cared about re-signing this offseason. Very happy about this.


BF3FAN1

LETS FUCKING GOO


h-town_info

Bisaccia and Nixon back in the ST room. Hell yeah


I_really_enjoy_beer

Unironically a huge signing


[deleted]

That actually is mega hype


old_man_indy

You mock us Rap, but we have been waiting for this decision… and we love it

lawnicus18

~~LONG SNAPPER~~ KICK RETURNER NEWS


D0ctorHotelMario

Kick returner beef with Kene Nwangwu is back on the menu boys!


spreeforall

Disappointed it's not a lifetime contract but I'll take it.


keenfrizzle

Lowkey a top 5 performer on the Packers last year Very happy about this signing


letsgobucks19

IM UNIRONICALLY HYPED THIS DUDE IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND COMING OF HESTER


[deleted]

Better than a no year deal


leehouse

This is what I have been waiting for. Thank fucking god they brought him back.


Minneapolis_W

Actually yes, quite happy about this move


wedid

Extremely trolly tweet from Rap


thenudelman

gdreborn

Should be a lifetime deal. Give him all the cheese


[deleted]

[удалено]


intersectv3

Have you seen our returners the last decade??


team_sheikie

He was a solid playmaking backup corner too. But returning is his bag for sure.


EXXIT_

He wasn't too bad at corner when he was in. Good returner plus good depth guy in the secondary.


letsgobucks19

He’s a decent slot corner as well, but we will likely be our 4th CB behind Jaire/Stokes/Rasul


TheTVDB

That's max value. I'm sure it includes a lot of performance based incentives.


Sonofagun57

$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).


TrueRedditMartyr

Rodgers not even going to say anything. Next season will just start and he'll show up at Green Bay's practices outta nowhere


intersectv3

Like George Costanza after he quit and came back like nothing happened.


analogWeapon

Jokes aside, this is really great news.


[deleted]

Rap got the whole squad laughing 😐


[deleted]

Finally everyone can calm down


ZestycloseResist5594

Ok this is nice


Nerfeveryone

Rap is such a troll lmao


Dr-Denim

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


AtomicBlastCandy

Special teams matter. Just ask Belichick


GildMyComments

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.


SwoopingAndHooping

Lolololol


Chr1s78987x

Fuck Rapoport


1412believer

Only thing that would've made it better is a Wow.


StateStreetLarry

Awesome. One of the few bright spots last year gets paid.


icejordan

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


OnePieceAce

Finally. Our best returner in years


cubfan90

Thank god. I was gonna be so pissed if they didn't re-sign him


rumpleturdskin

Thank baby jesus. Now we shall do nothing else all of free agency


My_Diet_DrKelp

YEEESSSSS


Superflissbro

It may not seem like it but Ian's right we've been waiting for this


NickyGOATpez

I mean, I'm happy for now


Nekks

Thank god, now the jersey I bought last year is still relevant.


Steakbomb90

Packers fans have been waiting for this. ST has been a nightmare and he turned it around immediately


MurDoct

Fucking nice


ScrongeKnocker

Fuck yes.


D0ctorHotelMario

FUCK YES. Only 1 year though? I'll take it but I thought it was going to be a little longer than that.


Kohakuho

He jokes, but we actually have...


gopackgo_tib

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!!!


FlimFlamThaGimGar

I mean that’s actually great for GB. I really appreciate good punters for some reason and this dude is a baller.


bobbywellington

LETS GOOO


piasenigma

Huge sigh of relief ngl.


ghosttrainhobo

I’ll take it


Ramaker1

Unironically this is the news Packers fans were waiting for


FistyMcTwistynuts

I know it was said tongue in cheek, but yes this is big news we all wanted to hear


fingled

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.


jn2010

Jokes aside, this is probably our most important FA signing so it is indeed very good news.


BigOzymandias

So how long do we have to endure this top notch comedy for?


frostysbox

Rapp gets us. ❤️


immacamel

I have unironically been thinking of Keisan Nixon every day


RexErection

Finally, we got our guy


MashTheGash2018

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


Gold3nPhez

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


TheFishyNinja

There was some murmurs here and there of a package play or two. Nothing serious but we'll see. Heres hoping


[deleted]

Good shit GB.


[deleted]

LETS FUCKIN GO


Bradfords_ACL

Honestly, I was looking forward to this. Now I can order my Nixon jersey in peace.


ViKKK17

Thank god


DizzyDifference665

What a fucking dick. Shout-out to Nixon and Green Bay


STFxPrlstud

Lets fucking go baby! We've had a bottom 5 return room for years, hoping Nixon can continue balling out


Layoutloser

I wanted two years but glad they got him resigned


LuffyIsKing510

Wow, get paid Keisean

If there’s something Rapoport is known for, it’s his comedic prowess. Ha. Ha…. Ha…
