Jets in talks with Packers, Aaron Rodgers, sources say



The New York Jets have had conversations with the Green Bay Packers and with quarterback Aaron Rodgers this week regarding a potential trade of the four-time MVP to the Jets, according to sources.

The sources said some of those conversations were expected to take place Tuesday, but that it's unclear as of Tuesday morning whether they will result in a trade.


Rodgers still has not made any announcements about what he intends to do this season. It's still possible he decides to retire, or to stay in Green Bay. But if he still wants to play and he and the Packers agree it's time for him to play somewhere else, the Jets appear to be a realistic option.

If the Jets are speaking directly with Rodgers, they and he would have had to secure the Packers' permission, as he is still under contract with Green Bay. So, the discussions Rodgers is having with the Jets indicate at least some openness on the part of the Packers to the idea of trading him there.

But there are potential complications to a deal, including Rodgers' huge and complicated contract, that might have to be addressed to make sure both teams would be in compliance with the salary cap by the start of the league year next Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET.

Rodgers is under contract through 2024 for $108.8 million. Technically, the contract, signed last March, runs through 2026, but 2025 and 2026 are considered "dummy" years for cap purposes. His deal includes a fully guaranteed $59.5 million this season, with $58.3 million coming in the form of an option bonus, payable before the start of the regular season.

Because his bonus money is prorated, Rodgers wouldn't hobble the Jets' cap. He would count $15.8 million in 2023 and $32.5 million in 2024, cap-friendly for a player of his stature.

The Packers would get hit with a $40.3 million "dead" charge in 2023 -- nearly $9 million more than he'd count if he were on the roster.

People discount just how good Rodgers is, for some reason. It's almost mind-boggling. I don't care if he wants anal massages, buy the guy some anal massages. Go try to win it. I don't know if it needs to be two 1's at age 39 but I'd give one up for sure.

Why aren't the Patriots in on it? Go try to get one more before you hang them up Bill... I mean fucking Mac isn't getting you there. Talk about wasting a really good defense.

Baltimore? Hello? What you doing? Lamar Jackson aint the answer. Get Rodgers and you probably piss-pound that division. WTF.

Miami? Going to go all-in a year ago on explosive weapons just to have brokedick Tua? Fuck it, go for it.

I think NFL teams play it too conservatively sometimes. The GMs with the big balls win championships.
It's largely because of his 'cult of personality.' He's not broadly likeable. A lot of people equate that dislike with "he's not very good." He has flaws to his game, but he's pretty obviously a generational talent at QB. The best in the game before Pat showed up.

Rodgers has talent but I'm not really sure he has heart anymore.

There's no way as a GM I would mortgage my future based on what it would cost in salary and picks him.

Could he generate excitement and win some extra games?

Sure.

With somebody like Tom Brady he was still hungry to win.

Maybe Aaron will light it up in the playoffs and prove me wrong, more power to him if a change of scene lights a fire under him.

But as a Jets fan, I wouldn't be thrilled by the price...

You don't have to be loved, but team chemistry is a thing...

He’s 11-10 in the playoffs.

Rogers is, in all respects, a tease.

No doubt. Chemistry is a tangible asset, or not, at a certain level.

I definitely agree with this, but as Megatron eluded to, he's a generational talent and if not for Pat he's easily the best QB in the game. He's arrogant, obviously, and knows he's good. He expects a certain level of competence around him and gets rather irritated when it's not there.

At the end of the day, it's still a team game come playoff time. The Packers had a lot of really bad defenses and, despite pouring tons of early resources into it, are still relatively mediocre.

I think a change of scenery would do Rodgers wonders. The Jets are positioned to have potent weapons around him. I question the O-Line. That defense will grow some this year. He could win that division though.

I’m not sure he’s generational at 40.

Before Brady nobody did it at that age.

No, he's not. Anymore. But he was for all but a couple years of his career. Hell, right now he's still a top-10 QB.

That's a nightmare division if Rodgers goes to the Jets.

Man Rodgers is washed. I don't know why so many ppl act like Jets are trading for a prime Rodgers.

He's better than anything they have but he's not going to go there and light it up. Especially w their Oline problems
