Guessing the pressure to get this completed came from the top.

It was reported a while back that the Jets front office and coaches preferred to go with Derek Carr, but Woody Johnson wanted Rodgers so they all had to go along.

(not exactly out of character for Johnson)

Woody Johnson is the best porn star name ever BTW.

I don't want to hear anyone else complain about how much we gave up to get the #1 pick. The Jets just got fleeced for a 2-3 year rental.

One AFC championship appearance and it will be considered a good deal. One Super Bowl appearance and the price will appear cheap.  One Super Bowl victory and it will be considered a steal.

Just like when Tampa spent the farm to land Brady, Rams with Stafford , you sell your future to win now, but that GM will look terrible If they don't win one before Rodgers calls it quits

The irony behind Rodgers following in Favre's footsteps again is pretty funny. He will most liekly have more success than BF and more than likely keep his meat in his levis. I just hope that for FF sake he feet Garret Wilson and they use Breece Hall like Aaron Jones, because my dynasty league needs them to be great.

Then at least we went down swinging 

Sure. Just pointing out that even if we get our guy, if he’s a miss, it was a questionable amount of resources to give up for one guy. And folks willl understandably question it.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
