REPORT: Jets have had discussions with Aaron Rodgers, Packers about potential trade. Details: TakeFlight
Rodgers, 39, signed a three-year contract for slightly more than $150 million in March of 2022. He is owed a fully guaranteed $59.5 million in 2023, but all but $1.2 million of it would come in the form of a signing bonus that would be paid before the start of the regular season.
The Jets have clearly made acquiring Rodgers their top priority this offseason. Though they met with free agent quarterback Derek Carr, they reportedly never made him an offer. Carr then agreed to sign a four-year, $150 million contract with the New Orleans Saints on Monday, and the Jets appeared to shift their pursuit of Rodgers into overdrive.
The Jets currently own the longest playoff drought in the NFL, having last qualified during the 2010 season, when they lost in the AFC Championship game to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
