Aaron Rodgers commerce grades: Packers win take care of Jets for star QB

In the end, the nationwide standoff is over.

Former Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has lastly been traded to the New York Jets. In accordance 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 choose in 2023, and a conditional second spherical choose in 2024 that turns into a primary if Rodgers performs 65 % of snaps for the Jets. The Jets get Rodgers, the fifteenth choose and the a hundred and seventieth choose (Fifth spherical) in 2023.

Let’s grade this deal from each side.

Packers grade: A

If all the leverage combat was concerning the Packers wanting a future first rounder that the Jets wouldn’t give them as a result of Rodgers may not play subsequent yr, then the Packers completely crushed it with their haul for Rodgers.

Shifting up two spots on this years’ draft is small potatoes; their board most likely doesn’t change that a lot with regards to this years’ draft. Getting a second spherical choose that top within the draft is nice as nicely, however I believe what makes this haul an A is getting that conditional second to show into a primary if Rodgers performs 65 % of the snaps.

Rodgers hasn’t performed lower than 90% of the offensive snaps since 2017, when he broke his collarbone. Until Aaron Rodgers finally decides to simply give up in the course of the season or suffers a significant harm, I doubt he performs lower than 65 % of the snaps. Inexperienced Bay getting that conditional second with such a low situation appears 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 yr. The Jets moved in free company like they have been getting Rodgers, so that they needed to land him by any means vital. Giving up that conditional second that’ll flip into a primary stinks, however that needed to be achieved 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 yr, all of the chips into the center deal. The way it works out is but to be seen, however it higher work out for this yr, as a result of if not they won’t have Rodgers previous this yr.
