The Green Bay Packers have agreed to the long-awaited trade sending Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets, ending his decorated and sometimes-controversial tenure with the franchise that drafted him in 2005.
The Jets have not reached the playoffs since making their second straight appearance in the AFC championship game in the 2010 season, with Rex Ryan as their coach and Mark Sanchez as their quarterback. Their lone Super Bowl appearance came when they beat the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III on Jan. 12, 1969, with Joe Namath at quarterback.
Gardner said on a live stream earlier this offseason that there would be “package deals all over” if the Jets were to add Rodgers, perhaps a suggestion that some of Rodgers’s most trusted Packers teammates could join him with his new team. The Jets signed free agent wide receiver Allen Lazard, who’d spent his entire five-year NFL career with the Packers. Rodgers said in mid-March that he’d discussed some players with the Jets but it was “ridiculous” to characterize those discussions as demands.
The Jets inherit a contract under which Rodgers will be paid a guaranteed $59.5 million for the 2023 season, pending an expected reworking. By trading Rodgers, the Packers must absorb a $40.3 million salary cap hit in the 2023 season. That’s about $8.7 million more than Rodgers would have counted against the Packers’ salary cap if he’d played for them.
Rodgers must rebound from an injury-plagued 2022 season. The Packers went 8-9 and missed the NFC playoffs with a defeat to the Detroit Lions in the final game of the NFL’s regular season. Rodgers threw 12 interceptions to go with his 26 touchdown passes. He’d“I’ve got nothing but love and appreciation for what Aaron has done for so many in our organization,” LaFleur said at the league meeting. “Obviously [we] have experienced a lot of great times together, won a lot of football games together.
