In the end, the nationwide standoff is over.
Former Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has lastly been traded to the New York Jets. In line with ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Packers swapped picks with the Jets within the first spherical of the 2023 NFL Draft along with a second spherical decide in 2023, and a conditional second spherical decide in 2024 that turns into a primary if Rodgers performs 65 p.c of snaps for the Jets. The Jets get Rodgers, the fifteenth decide and the one hundred and seventieth decide (Fifth spherical) in 2023.

Let’s grade this deal from each side.
Packers grade: A
If the whole leverage combat was concerning the Packers wanting a future first rounder that the Jets wouldn’t give them as a result of Rodgers won’t play subsequent 12 months, then the Packers completely crushed it with their haul for Rodgers.
Shifting up two spots on this years’ draft is small potatoes; their board in all probability doesn’t change that a lot in the case of this years’ draft. Getting a second spherical decide that top within the draft is nice as nicely, however I feel what makes this haul an A is getting that conditional second to show into a primary if Rodgers performs 65 p.c of the snaps.
Rodgers hasn’t performed lower than 90% of the offensive snaps since 2017, when he broke his collarbone. Until Aaron Rodgers in the end decides to only give up in the midst of the season or suffers a significant damage, I doubt he performs lower than 65 p.c of the snaps. Inexperienced Bay getting that conditional second with such a low situation seems like a coup, and a win for the Packers, who really had the leverage all alongside.
Jets grade: B+
I imply, they acquired Aaron Rodgers for not less than a 12 months. The Jets moved in free company like they had been getting Rodgers, in order that they needed to land him by any means needed. Giving up that conditional second that’ll flip into a primary stinks, however that needed to be executed to get Rodgers.
That is their shot. They’ve the protection and the younger expertise on the talent positions essential to make a run on the playoffs. They only wanted the QB, and now they acquired him. This isn’t a long run funding, this can be a one 12 months, all of the chips into the center deal. The way it works out is but to be seen, nevertheless it higher work out for this 12 months, as a result of if not they won’t have Rodgers previous this 12 months.
