Nonetheless, now it feels like there’s an agreement in place as the Jets have decided to part ways with two high draft picks for the signature of Rodgers.
Recent reports suggest that, the Jets have decided to part ways with 2023 second rounder draft pick and 2024 2nd rounder draft pick for the 40-year old QB. However, there’s also an added clause where the 2024 second round draft pick could turn into a first round draft pick if Rodgers performs exceptionally well in his first season.
The deal is highly ambitious and extravagant for a QB who’s at a latter end of his career. Many even thing that Rodgers isn’t worth a first round draft pick. However, his stats and legacy speak for himself and surely the Packers QB will be a great addition to the squad.
