status for the 2023 season and beyond is unclear, whether it’s with the Green Bay Packers or somewhere else, and a report Sunday didn’t really make things any clearer.is still"possible" and league sources told ESPN the franchise"prefers to move on from Rodgers" as it did with Brett Favre. The report cited"financial reasons" and the overall"state" of the franchise as the driving force behind the potential move.
The Jets may need to give the Packers at least two first-round draft picks for Rodgers if a trade were to happen – a steep price for a quarterback who could retire now or after the 2023 season. New York could also take a cap hit of $15.8 million in 2023 and $32.5 million in 2024 if they acquire him and his contract does not get restructured again.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers runs onto the field for the Detroit Lions game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Jan. 8, 2023.The Athletic was not the only one to dive into the Rodgers-Jets connection. NFL journalist Peter King also gave credence to the possibility of the Jets going after Rodgers. King wrote in his"Football Morning In America" column that Jets owner Woody Johnson was"desperate" for a quarterback.
"So, how possible is it? Well, consider that Rodgers’ cap numbers in the next two seasons would be $48.3 million, combined. That’s certainly manageable," King wrote."As for the compensation due Green Bay, my guess is the Pack would want at least two first-round picks. The Woody Johnson Jets, desperate for a star QB almost since the Broadway Joe days, would happily pay that freight, I’d guess. But would Rodgers accept a deal to the Jets? We shall see.
Later Thursday, the Jets hired Nathaniel Hackett to be the offensive coordinator. Hackett was fired by the Denver Broncos earlier in the season but spent a few seasons as Rodgers’ offensive coordinator.
