Aaron Rodgers' highly anticipated trade to the New York Jets has been a topic of discussion since he revealed his desire to join the team on The Pat McAfee Show. The Packers and Jets have been working hard to finalize the move, but the lack of news indicates that both parties have yet to find common ground.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler now reports a new development in the story, suggesting that the trade could occur on draft day.

"They're close, just they have some of those draft compensation considerations that they have to shake out," Fowler said on SportsCenter. "Most people I talked to around the league believe closer to the draft, maybe even on day one, when teams are getting on the clock pretty soon that this will shake out. But I'm told the Jets have been planning with their draft prep to have their No. 13 overall pick. That's not a major consideration to have to give up to the Packers in a trade."

Despite the prolonged nature of the trade, Fowler believes it's almost complete.

"A lot of this deal, I'm told, remains pretty much done," Fowler said.

The specific points of contention for each side remain unclear. It's possible that the Packers are seeking a future first-round pick, or the Jets' No. 13 selection in this year's draft. Additionally, Rodgers' massive $150 million contract requires adjustments, as he is set to earn $60 million in the upcoming season.

A trade on draft day would certainly create a stir throughout the NFL. Draft day trades often prove more profitable for the team selling a significant asset. In this case, waiting until April 27 could result in a more lucrative deal for the Packers.

Watching the Packers part ways with their legendary quarterback on draft day would be an entertaining spectacle for Bears fans.
