Aaron Rodgers is now the New York Jets quarterback

 

The Jets and Packers agreed to a trade yesterday, exactly 40 days after Rodgers said he wanted to go to New York.

The trade includes a swap of first-round picks in this year’s draft. The Packers will now pick 13th overall on Thursday and the Jets will move to 15th.

The Jets are also sending the Packers a second-round pick, No. 42 overall, and a sixth-round pick, No. 207 overall, in this year’s draft as well as a 2024 conditional pick that will be a first-round pick if Rodgers plays 65% of the plays for the Jets in 2023 or a second-round pick if he does not.

In addition to Rodgers, the Jets will receive a fifth-round pick, No. 170 overall, in this year’s draft.

The trade won’t be official until the terms of Rodgers’ contract are finalized. He is scheduled to make nearly $60 million in 2023 but is expected to renegotiate that deal before coming to the Jets.
