the cap hit of rodgers would be 15.8M for the jets this season -- they are at 15M under, so no issues there.
the packers are a yr or two late in terms of getting a large compensation for rodgers. they are probably stuck with a 2nd at this point, unless the jets get desperate, but it seems they are the ones calling green bay's bluff at this point. the jets are likely reluctant of giving a fut 1st, and 1.13 is probably out of the conversation for a player that is yr-to-yr at this point.
