Jets, Packers complete Aaron Rodgers trade with 2024 NFL Draft trade to Saints
Here is the complete player rundown of the Aaron Rodgers trade for the New York Jets and Green Bay Packers.
It has been a little over a year since the New York Jets traded for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but if you ask a Jets fan, it has felt like a decade.
Unfortunately for the Jets, Rodgers only played a handful of moments in 2023 before suffering a season-ending injury. Outside of that 20-minute stretch, everything associated with him has been a bit tough to take, but the future is still sort of bright. Maybe.
As far as more important matters are concerned, we are finally at a place where we know exactly what the overall terms were of the trade between New York and the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay picked up a first-round pick last year during the trade (technically they just improved theirs) and stood to pick up one this year if Rodgers had met a certain playing time incentive. Obviously that did not happen.
Here is the full fallout of the deal between the Jets and Packers, following some more trades with those picks:
Jets received:
- Aaron Rodgers
- Packers’ 2023 first-round pick: Will McDonald IV
-
Packers’ 2023 fifth-round pick(Pick traded to Raiders) - Raiders 2023 sixth-round pick: Jarrick Bernard-Converse
- Raiders’ 2023 seventh-round pick: Zack Kuntz
Packers received:
- Jets’ 2023 first-round pick: Lukas Van Ness
- Jets’ 2023 second-round pick: Luke Musgrave
- Jets’ 2023 sixth-round pick: Anders Carlson
-
Jets’ 2024 second-round pick(Pick traded to the New Orleans Saints) - Saints’ 2024 second-round pick: Edgerrin Cooper
- Saints’ 2024 fifth-round pick: Javon Solomon
-
Saints’ 2024 sixth-round pick: (Pick traded to the Philadelphia Eagles)
All told the Packers picked up three important players to their roster and then converted the final pick into even more capital. That is a solid day at work.
We can finally move on. Maybe Aaron Rodgers will at some point.
