3 dream trade offers Packers could accept for Aaron Rodgers from Jets
The Green Bay Packers and New York Jets have been flirting about an Aaron Rodgers trade, and it’s only a matter of time until a deal is made.
New York flew out to see Rodgers this week and to discuss his future. Reports say that talk went well, and they loved what they heard. The next step is for Rodgers to determine whether he’ll even play in 2023. After that, the Jets and Packers can continue discussing trade compensation.
A week ago, I was thinking Green Bay would get at least one first-round draft pick in the deal, plus conditional picks. However, that seems to be very exaggerated and Green Bay may be lucky to get even one first-rounder. Let’s check out three dream trade offers the Packers could receive from the Jets for Rodgers.
With all signs pointing toward the Green Bay Packers trading Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets, here are three dream trade offers.
Green Bay will take on about $9 million in additional salary cap if they trade Rodgers, creating an even bigger need to make additional space. Adding Savage to the deal does just that, taking off about $8 million in 2023 cap space.
The Jets have a need at safety and Savage could be a part of their equation. Green Bay takes a little less in return, netting New York’s second-rounder plus a conditional 2024 pick based on whether Rodgers plays and how far they go.
The Packers get a second-rounder and some additional wide receiver help for Jordan Love in this deal. Moore was selected with the 34th overall pick in 2021, but hasn’t lived up to expectations and is frustrated with his role in New York. What Moore lacks in size, he makes up for in speed and quickness. He ran a 4.35 40-yard dash and also had a great shuttle time. He’d be a nice addition to a young Packers’ receiving group.

What once seemed like the floor, now seems like the ceiling. The Packers would be lucky to get the Jets’ top pick in this year’s draft, the 13th overall selection. That would give Green Bay two picks in the top 15 and two first-rounders for the second consecutive year. It would be nice to add an additional conditional pick in this scenario, but I’m not sure that’s realistic.
