ESPN's Jeremy Fowler now reports a new development in the story, suggesting that the trade could occur on draft day.
Despite the prolonged nature of the trade, Fowler believes it's almost complete.
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.
