Insights into Aaron Rodgers' Trade to Jets, Obstacles and Possibilities for the MVP QB to Push Packers into a Deal
The New York Jets Expect to Land Aaron Rodgers, but Hurdles Remain for the Trade to Happen
Despite Aaron Rodgers expressing his intention to play for the New York Jets next season, the trade is not yet guaranteed. While the Jets are eager to acquire the veteran quarterback, the Green Bay Packers need to agree to the deal. Although the Packers plan to move on with Jordan Love as their QB, they are not simply going to let Rodgers go without compensation. According to sources, Green Bay is seeking a first-round pick in exchange for Rodgers and also looking to secure a future draft pick in 2025, conditional on whether Rodgers plays a second season with the Jets.

Aaron Rodgers is not in control due to the contractual agreement he signed with the Green Bay Packers, but he does have options to force the franchise into trading him. One possibility is for him to fulfill his contractual obligation and return to play for another season, but only putting in minimal effort. If he were to do so, Love's development as a quarterback would be hindered, and the Packers would have to pay Rodgers a significant amount of money, estimated to be around $60 million.
Another option for Rodgers is retirement, which would leave Green Bay with nothing in return. However, there is still time for the two sides to reach a mutually beneficial agreement. It would be unfortunate for their 18-year relationship to end on bad terms.
