Aaron Rodgers trade to Jets for draft picks rumored to be complete [View all]
This took a while...
For the second time in 15 years, the Green Bay Packers are trading an aging icon to the New York Jets.
The Packers agreed Monday to deal quarterback Aaron Rodgers and their 2023 first-round pick (No. 15) and a 2023 fifth-round pick (No. 170) to the Jets for New York's 2023 first-round pick (No. 13), a 2023 second-round pick (No. 42), a 2023 sixth-round pick (No. 207) and a conditional 2024 second-round pick that becomes a first if Rodgers plays 65% of the plays this season, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.
Although Hall of Fame quarterback and Jets franchise icon Joe Namath gave Rodgers his blessing to wear No. 12, the new Jets quarterback is expected to wear No. 8 -- the number he wore in college at Cal -- a source told Schefter.
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst was hesitant to comment on the deal in much detail Monday, but -- during his previously scheduled annual pre-draft news conference, which began shortly after news of the trade terms broke -- he said there were still a few final details to be worked out. Among them likely is the fact that Rodgers still must take his physical.
