The New York Jets<\/a> appear to be a quarterback away from true contention in the National Football League.<\/p>\n With that very thought in mind, Brad Spielberger<\/a> of Pro Football Focus proposed a blockbuster trade between the Green Bay Packers and Gang Green.<\/p>\n Packers receive: <\/strong>2023 first-round pick, 2024 first-round pick, 2023 second-rounder, 2024 second-round draft choice<\/p>\n Jets receive: <\/strong>veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers<\/a><\/p>\n On the surface that would be an insane price to pay for a 39-year-old quarterback.<\/p>\n Spielberger argued that<\/a> the framework of the deal would mirror the trade that Russell Wilson went<\/a> for this past offseason between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n A lot of people have shot down the idea of a Rodgers trade this offseason because of his recent contract extension. Spielberger says there is a way to make this work for both sides because of a unique oddity<\/a> in Rodgers’ contract.<\/p>\n “Rodgers has a $58.3 million fully guaranteed option bonus due this offseason, but the exercise window is open until just before the 2023 regular season kicks off, which is, in theory, conducive to a trade.”<\/p>\n That means the Jets would be inheriting essentially a “two-year deal” worth nearly $109 million. There would also be additional control for “two more years” if Rodgers desired to keep playing.<\/p>\n The Jets would get their franchise quarterback and the Packers would get an opportunity to hit the reset button.<\/p>\n “The Jets have a very good roster at almost every position besides quarterback, as they’ve utilized extra draft capital over the past two years to the tune of seven top-50 draft picks,” Brad Spielberger<\/a> of Pro Football Focus explained.<\/p>\n “First-round guard Alijah Vera-Tucker<\/a> and first-round tackle Mekhi Becton<\/a> will return in 2023, and Rodgers would have Garrett Wilson<\/a>, Elijah Moore<\/a>, and Corey Davis<\/a> to throw to at wide receiver. Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur<\/a> is Packers head coach Matt LaFleur’s<\/a> brother and could provide some familiarity with offensive verbiage.”<\/p>\n For those that fear some level of a drop-off, Rodgers has won back-to-back NFL regular season MVP awards. Additionally, when you dive into the deeper level<\/a> of analytics via Pro Football Focus there doesn’t appear to be any sign of the former California product slowing down:<\/p>\n
