I am under no illusions that Minshew is a top tier QB or even tier 2. But he has seemed at least competent every time I have seen him.
With a good supporting cast, I think you could make the wildcard.
Why spend two firsts and a second on a 40 year old Rodgers who is a 50 million cap hit?
Maybe I don’t have a football mind. But I don’t get NFL front offices sometimes.
I wish my Commanders would do this. We will not get a QB with the 16th pick.
We have an otherwise competent team.
Use that pick on a TE or a WR and use Minshew for a year and see what happens. If it goes wrong, then you are just out a low pick or some money.

It's very simple, they're trying to win a SB this year or the next. They actually have an organization that winning a championship is important to them. Being reckless is another matter altogether.
As damientheomen3 pointed out, the Jets have to be careful on what they give. And a 1st is the most they want to give. However, the Packers want more and supposedly the two sides are far apart as of yesterday. How long can the Packers wait? Check it out, this is straight from Spotrac..

The Packers can wait until week 1. I don't know what the Packers are asking for. But if they're far apart, you're probably close.
By all accounts, and everything I've heard, the Jets do not want to give up more than a 1st, and they do not want to pay Rodgers his current contract. Supposedly Rodgers is ok taking less. Let's see what that translates to.
