After much speculation, it has been reported that Aaron Rodgers, the star quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, has been traded to the New York Jets (NBC News). This ends his record-breaking run with the Packers, which spanned over 18 seasons (NBC News). The trade reportedly includes a swap of first-round draft picks and the Jets sending their second-round pick, number 42 overall, to the Packers (Acme Packing Company).
The trade has been the talk of the NFL offseason, with fans and analysts speculating on where Rodgers would end up since he announced his desire to leave Green Bay earlier this year (Yahoo Sports). However, the Packers’ general manager, Brian Gutekunst, had remained tight-lipped about the potential trade until recently, when he broke his silence and explained the trade with the Jets (Fox News).
This move has implications beyond just the two teams involved. With the Jets receiving one of the NFL’s biggest stars, the trade is expected to shake up the first round of the 2023 NFL draft, as the Jets and Packers will now flip first-round draft picks (USA Today). For the Packers, the trade will worsen their already tight salary cap situation (Packers Wire).
